Ed will be performing "Throwing Copper" in full + a 30 minute set of material from other albums.

Live frontman Ed Kowalczyk is coming out to Australia for a national tour.

Fans of acclaimed singer-songwriter and enduring solo artist, will be in for a special treat as Kowalczyk's national tour sees him celebrate the 20 year anniversary of Live’s seminal album Throwing Copper.

Kowalczyk pays tribute to the hits of his past through to his solo career including the forthcoming album The Flood and The Mercy (out this Friday) featuring the current single "Seven".

“I wrote the songs for Throwing Copper in a state of mind that was at once empty of any and all expectations, yet full of the potential and possibility that marked the ‘90s music scene in America," Kowalczyk said.

"Being just 22-years-old at the time, I was literally learning to write songs as I went, feeling and fledgling my way into this probability cloud that had formed around bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins.

“The songs on Throwing Copper are an amalgam of my early and enduring interest in the spiritual traditions and a desire to put my own lyrical and melodic mark on the age in which I found myself.

"I had no idea that songs like "I Alone" and "Lightning Crashes" would endure on the radio and in the hearts and minds of my fans for so many years after I wrote them.

“Fast forwarding to 2014 and the 20th Anniversary of Throwing Copper's release, I am beyond excited to celebrate the entirety of the record on tour with a new band of amazingly talented musicians and great friends.

"I look forward to celebrating the release as well as reconnecting with the album as a whole, to putting on my miner's helmet and following that copper line deeper into the mountain and see what we find... wanna come along?

See you soon!” Ed K.

Set List: The Dam at Otter Creek, Selling The Drama, I Alone, Iris, Lightning Crashes, Top, All Over You, Shit Towne, T.B.D., Stage, Waitress, Pillar of Davidson, White, Discussion, Horse.

Plus a 30-minute encore featuring hit songs from the Live/Ed K back catalogue, such as:
"The Dolphin’s Cry", "Heaven", "Pain Lies On the Riverside", "Grace" and more.

Ed Kowalczyk's new album The Flood and The Mercy is out September 20.
