Few bands enter their fifth decade of making music with all the fierce creative energy of their early years. Even fewer bands are like The Church.
2025 is turning into a banner year for the band, getting ready to turn the page and both explore new music and celebrate their impressive catalog with a slew of live dates. Kicking off with their first-ever ‘Singles-centric’ tour this Summer in North America, they will be digging into their catalogue and playing the songs that launched them into mainstream consciousness, including ‘Metropolis,’ ‘Ripple,’ ‘C’est La Vie’, and of course, ‘Reptile’ and ‘Under the Milky Way.’ They also have a new album – their 28th! – planned for release later this year.
The renowned five-piece line-up is made up of bassist, vocalist and founder Steve Kilbey, along with long-time collaborator, drummer, and producer Tim Powles (a member since 1994), guitarist Ian Haug, multi-instrumentalist Jeffrey Cain, and guitarist Ashley Naylor. The Church continue to remain a treasured creative force.
Sounds cool
This would be a dream come true! Never seen them and it falls right near my birthday!
Excellent group. Need to see these folks!!
My brother passed away in October and left behind some of their concert tees from maybe the 90s? Hadn’t listened to them in ages; glad to see they’re still around and touring!
Would love to go!
The last time I saw them I wasn’t in my right mind. It would be nice to really experience them for once.
These guys are so good!
I saw them at the Aladdin and would love to see them again. I’ll buy plenty of beer if I get free tix lol.
The only church I want to attend.
Take me to church! This show is going to be amazing and I’d love to go
Yes! I’ve still never seen them!
Definitely part of the soundtrack of my life…
Church,I use to attend the Church of Elvis,but really sounds fun
An absolutely delightful band with class
July is a long way in the future but the future looks good so…
Yes please and thank you in advance.
It’s been a rough year so far and it would be great to have some fun come my way.
Would love to take my daughter to see them!
would love to see them again after 30 years.
I’ve yet to see them live and would love to see this show!
The Church at the Crystal Ballroom sounds like an awesome time!
Yes please ☺️
They were slightly before my time and I found them later in life. Instantly loved the sound and felt it in my bones. Missed out on hearing them live.
Me please!
Take me back to the good ole days!!
I would make the drive for this show.
Yes please
WOW!! This sounds like a Great Show! I would love to attend.
Love the Church and their music
I haven’t attended Church in 25 yrs…
I can’t look up at the stars in the summer without hearing “under the Milky Way tonight”. This show would be stellar.
Yes please!
Need to go to Church!
Wow this is gonna be so killer!
Love love love The Church!!!
Still and always one of my most favorite bands. Absolutely phenomenal
So many great memories associated with The Church! I would absolutely love tickets to see them.
omg yes please
I’ve seen almost every Church tour.
my girlfriend’s favorite band here. what a surprise it would be to take her!!
I love this band so much! This would be such an awesome opportunity!
The Church is a favorite of mine. I especially love to listen to them while harvesting earthworms in the summer rain after a cold pitcher of margarita juice. Yes , simply lovely.
I’m not a religious person, and this is probably the only Church I would ever attend!
“Under the Milky Way” – essential 80’s tune – fun to play on the guitar too!
I would love to see them. I have listened to them for years
Saw The Church last summer with Afghan Wigs and they were incredible. They mostly played tracks from their recent concept album, so I’d love to hear them play the singles!
When I first hear Under the Milky Way when I was younger, I was hooked.
Its the Church!
Been one of my favorite bands since childhood
this would be fun!
I would be honored to relive a part of my youthful past.
I need to go to Church!
This show will be right after my partial nephrectomy. I have renal cell carcinoma. We caught it early and it is operable. So (fingers crossed) this surgery should be the end. I feel hopeful. So this show would be a lovely way to celebrate (gently) my victory and stir my artistic muse from its slumber. Oh and f*ck cancer!
Would love to see them live!
Yes
This would be an amazing date night!
This would be a nice evening out a few days before knee surgery.
i have sinned and need to go to Church
Yes please! I would love to see The Church!
The church is one of my favorite bands, how grand.
Praise thee.
Yes, please. 80’s nostalgia. Yay!
One of my 80’s faves!
Great show and venue!
and what an experience it will be.
Swoon♡
Would love to go!
Haven’t been to a concert in a long time!
