Crowded House will reform after a 10-year-plus hiatus for a tour this year, including a stop at California’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in late April. The reunion, which was first reported by several Australian newspapers and confirmed by the webmaster of the Neil Finn site Frenz.com, will coincide with a new studio album.
Finn had previously maintained he would never revive Crowded House following the 2005 suicide of drummer Paul Hester. "It’s an instant knee-jerk reaction, ‘no Paul no Crowded House’ for some, and you, know that’s actually okay," webmaster Peter Green wrote on the Frenz.com message board. "Simply don’t see them or play the new record. But there is a good chance you might be missing out on something special. Sometimes it’s worth taking a leap of faith and giving something a chance."
