Crowded House, The Living End and one big week of music at Fremantle Prison
In what promises to be a huge start to summer entertainment at the prison, The Living End will belt out anthem hits such as Prisoner of Society, All Torn Down and Second Solution on Saturday, November 29 before one of the world's most iconic and spellbinding bands, Crowded House, perform twice in three days.
Their first announced show on Friday, December 5 is already sold out, leading organisers to squeeze in a second gig on Wednesday, December 3.
The ARIA Hall of Famers performed to sold out crowds last December at Sandalford Wines as part of the Red Hot Summer Tour.
They are considered one of the most universally loved bands ever to tour Australia, with Don't Dream Its Over, Fall At Your Feet, Into Temptation, Something So Strong, Sister Madly and Four Seasons In One Day just some of their chart-toppers that have provided a lyrical background for multiple generations.
The band still features two original members including Neil Finn, whose meticulous, indelible melodies and impressionistic lyrics have stood the test of time and earned him devoted fans across the world.
Finn's sons Elroy and Liam, Mitchell Froom and Nick Seymour – who was with Finn from the band's beginning – make up the current iteration responsible or its eighth studio album Gravity Stairs, which was released last year.
Tickets for Crowded House's Wednesday show are already on sale. Presale for The Living End starts today, with general tickets available Friday.

Paul Mario Day: Tributes pour in for Iron Maiden, More and Sweet star following his death
Paul Mario Day, the London-born and Australian-based original lead singer of Iron Maiden, has died at the age of 69. The music legend 'passed away peacefully' at his home in Newcastle, NSW. He had reportedly been battling cancer. His death has triggered a wave of tributes from within the music and broader entertainment industry, including from his former bands. 'Paul was a huge part of the new wave of British heavy metal from his time in an early version of Iron Maiden and of course his fantastic performance on the Warhead album,' British heavy metal outfit More posted of their bandmate. 'He was a well loved figure in British rock music and played many memorable shows, not least the legendary 1981 Monsters of Rock show at Castle Donington with AC/DC, Whitesnake/David Coverdale as well as tours with Iron Maiden, Def Leppard and many other legendary artists. Current More vocalist Mike Freeland 'remembers him fondly as a bloody great vocalist', the band said. 'It's an honour for us to continue to play his music and we will always think of him every time we hit the opening notes to Warhead,' More continued. 'We send our deepest condolences to Paul's family and friends and also the many fans around the world who love his music. 'Play his music loud and sing along. Rock in peace Paul.' 'You've got to get better' Day, born in April of 1956, joined Iron Maiden as their original singer in 1975. But his stay with the band was short-lived and he was kicked out less than a year later, replaced by Dennis Wilcock. The exit was blamed on Day's reported lack stage presence. '(Bassist) Steve (Harris) was saying, 'You've got to get better. You've got to be more in the audience's face. You've got to be commanding. You've got to be a hero,' Day previously told Blabbermouth of his exit. 'And I agreed with him but I didn't actually know how to make that happen. 'As much as it hurt, as much as it upset me, I learnt a big lesson that day. I really did. I used that emotion, I guess, in my singing.' Day would form More four years after leaving Iron Maiden, and the band released their debut album, Warhead, in 1981. He later fronted bands including Wildfire and a reformed version of Sweet. 'In 1985 Mick Tucker and myself put together the first new line-up of Sweet after the hiatus of the original band. We needed a singer and when Paul arrived for the audition, we looked no further,' guitarist Andy Scott said. 'Our first dates were in Australia, total sell-outs which boded well for the future. 'Europe followed suit and three sold out nights at the Marquee in London produced a live album, video and DVD. 'Live at the Marquee did well in various charts around the world and Paul's vocal performance has stood the test of time. 'He passed away peacefully at his home in Australia. My deepest condolences to his wife Cecily and family and friends. 'A sad day for all Sweet fans.' Day had lived in Australian since the mid 1980s.

‘Fighting words': Debate erupts online as Aussies reveal the iconic national dishes they secretly hate
An Australian Reddit user has sparked debate after asking others to reveal iconic Aussie dishes they secretly hate, with the poster starting the debate with the classic dessert pavlova. The post asks 'What's an Australian dish, snack, dessert or the like that you hate but everyone else seems to love?' The user goes on to say they 'can't stand' pavlova, which seemed to be popular among responders. Many others agreed pavlova is 'overrated,' and not as delicious as it's made out to be. 'I hate the texture of the pavlova base, it's just awful,' one said. But others hit back, arguing a homemade pavlova will beat a storebought one any day. 'I hate a store pav, but a good homemade pav can be excellent,' one commenter said. The most liked response was from a user stating apricot chicken was 'disgusting' and their least favourite meal. Most replies agreed, and said it was a 'hated' yet classic meal from their childhoods. 'It's been like 25 years since I have thought about apricot chicken. Agreed! Mum whipped it out every now and then,' one wrote. 'You've just opened up a part of my brain that's been locked since childhood,' replied another. Another popular response was chiko rolls, with many agreeing that unless you had them as a child, they have 'no redeeming qualities.' 'They always seem to have this chalky feel to them, I don't like eating chalk,' one said. 'I don't see how anyone likes them,' said another. Tim Tams, bread and butter pudding, lamingtons, cherry ripe and Bundaberg rum also made the list. 'Tim tams – I can't stand them! They are too sweet.' 'Bread and butter pudding. Hate that sloppy egg mess, everyone else seemed to love it.' 'Cherry ripe, so many people I know love them, I can't get behind them.' 'Bundy rum is appalling, it's so bad that it doesn't actually taste like any other rum I've tried, Bundy is unique in its awfulness.' The bold posts were met with backlash from other Australians, who made it no secret there are still lovers of classic Australian dishes. 'Thems fighting words,' said one. 'Please know that I am giving you a death stare through my phone,' said another.
