Iconic four ready to tour

AUSSIE music icons Human Nature are making their way back home for an action-packed national tour and Bendigo is perched at the top of their list.

More than 10 years since they started their Vegas residency, Michael and Andrew Tierney, Phil Burton and Toby Allen will return for the Live 2022 Rebooted – People Get Ready, Again tour.

The ARIA Hall of Famers will take on Ulumbarra Theatre on 29 April and continue around the country until late July.

“To finally get down there and do some of these shows, we can’t wait. We love Australia and we miss it,” Allen said.

“Part of the excitement that people are feeling in these towns, and for us as well, is that we haven’t done a regional tour in about 15 years.”

The performances follow last year’s COVID-interrupted regional Australian tour celebrating acapella, acoustics and anthems, with the four-piece set to arrive in Bendigo almost nine months after the original schedule.

“We were taking a different approach to the tour, telling more stories and we didn’t know how people would react,” Allen said.

“But from the very early stages, we realised that people really enjoyed that approach to it and it was so different for us.

“They got to hear some songs that they’ve probably never heard before, hear some stories that they might not have heard and still get the energetic performance.

“It feels amazing to be able to do something in people’s hometowns, they’re so proud and they share so much of their local knowledge with us which is great.

“We probably learn more about those places than we might in other cities we go to because you don’t have that direct connection with people. It’s really touching.”
