Indoor Garden Party, the music and performance passion project headed up by award-winning actor Russell Crowe, are headed to Sydney for a one-night-only show this December. Crowe has been releasing music in various capacities since 1982, but Indoor Garden Party only has two album releases to their name, one in 2017 and another in 2024.
The group’s Sydney show is an evening of, as Crowe puts it, “stories, songs and surprises” at the Enmore Theatre, supported by BRAKE, Marcia Hines, Troy Cassar-Daley, Lorraine O’Reilly and Danielle Spencer.
Indoor Garden Party has performed on some of the world’s biggest stages, including the Roman Colosseum and a set at Glastonbury Festival in 2024, an experience that Crowe could only remark to with “What the fuck” in a recent interview with Rolling Stone AU/NZ. They’ve toured Australia in the past, but also Italy, France, Malta, Czech Republic, Ireland, UK and USA.
The band’s 2024 tour covered 60,000km across six countries, and Crowe still has his day job of acting to worry about. Come December 2025, he’ll have completed work on six feature films in 12 months — a new record for the New Zealand-born actor.
Explaining what fans can expect in Sydney, Crowe said “I’m really looking forward to this concert. It has been a little frustrating having to put some music things aside for the day job as the year has gone on, but you won’t hear me complaining.”
“In my profession, too much work is a bonus. For the band, this gig will be like a celebration. A heavy work year behind us, one big blow out to finish the year will be so much fun. It’ll be like the Christmas show you go to when you don’t really want to go to a Christmas show. It’s not official, but I’m pretty sure we will have a ‘no reindeer’ policy on the night.”
