The Waifs Return

Fresh from serenading thousands in Munro Martin Parklands in 2018, The Waifs return to Cairns to play Tanks Arts Centre for one very special, intimate show on April 8.

The Waifs played to a sold out crowd in 2017 during the early inception of the then newly developed Munro Martin Parklands, prompting a return visit the following year for those who missed out.

Fans will have to get in quick to secure their tickets to the intimate show at Tanks Arts Centre, with just 600 tickets up for grabs.

A trip that began in a van in 1992, playing gigs anywhere in Australia that would have them, has led the much-loved Australian music trio to multiple ARIA Awards, platinum albums and successful tours across the world.

With a career spanning more than 25 years off the back of relentless touring and ground-breaking records including Up All Night and A Brief History, the hard yards in those early days paid off in terms of their career, but also bound them together as friends.

Three years on from celebrating their 25th anniversary and their #1 ARIA chart topping album ‘Ironbark’, Donna Simpson, Vikki Thorn and Josh Cunningham, (with ever faithful and long-standing rhythm section of David Ross Macdonald and Ben Franz), continue to share their folk-infused, feel good sounds with adoring, now multi-generation audiences.

The Waifs play Tanks Arts Centre on Wednesday 8 April 2020. Tickets available through Ticketlink.
