Iconic frontwoman Cherie Currie of The Runaways has announced her second and final Australian tour. The five-date run will be her first since 2016 and takes in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne.
One of rock’s true pioneers, Cherie Currie exploded onto the music scene in the 1970s as the unmistakable teenage voice of The Runaways, delivering anthems like “Cherry Bomb” that redefined what it meant to be a young, fearless woman in rock ‘n’ roll. Described as the “lost daughter of Iggy Pop and Bridgette Bardot”, she shattered barriers, inspired generations of female rockers, and cemented her place in music history.
But Cherie Currie is also a style icon, celebrated for her corsets, platform boots, and glam-punk flair.
Currie’s talents have also shone beyond the stage. As an actress, she starred alongside Jodie Foster in the 1980 classic “Foxes”, a film that captured the spirit of youth and rebellion. More recently, her life and career were immortalised in the acclaimed biopic “The Runaways,” starring Dakota Fanning as Cherie and Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett.
For this farewell tour, Cherie Currie promises fans a high-energy setlist packed with Runaways hits, solo favourites, and surprises, celebrating her remarkable journey in rock.
Joining Cherie Currie is Melbourne’s Hot Machine, the fast-rising, fiery five-piece all girl rock band who are quickly becoming one of the hottest live bands in the country. They released their debut EP, “Leather and Steel” in 2024 which has been described as a “wild, hot listening experience jam packed with a vibe that explains why it is cutting through the noise and going beyond Melbourne’s city limits”.
