Crowded House will headline the Australian Open’s first-ever opening ceremony next month with a greatest hits set at Rod Laver Arena.
The band will perform on January 17 ahead of a showcase doubles match featuring Roger Federer, Andre Agassi, Patrick Rafter and Lleyton Hewitt.
Frontman Neil Finn said the group was “delighted” to help mark the opening of the tournament alongside legends of the game.
The performance forms part of a broader Australian Open summer music program featuring The Kid Laroi, Hot Chip and Peggy Gou.
