Matt Corby AU ‘23
Matt Corby returned to Australian stages with the Everything’s Fine tour, wooing every crowd along the way.
Beginning with 3 nights at Melbourne’s wonderful Forum Theatre, on to Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall, 3 nights at the Enmore in Sydney featuring a Live at the Wireless recording and then finishing up the run in Adelaide at Hindley Street Music Hall. A sneaky week off then back into it for a show at Crooked River Wines.
All of the shows had their special moments, Matt Corby has a way of captivating an audience but on this run it was the Adelaide crowd that gave it back - they were unmatched and the venue felt full and intimate.
Off the stage, there were also plenty of moments. None more memorable than the turbulent love story of Matt Corby & Soju: the number 1 drink of choice but also the most deadly drink of choice. It was used to celebrate the end of the Forum shows, added to the rider as a permanent request, immortalised on the Forum wall within Matt's signature and subsequently never touched again due to the hangover.
Another love story to mention was that of one fan, Molly, who came to every show. She was lucky enough to have her dreams come true and came backstage at the end of the Adelaide show and had her merch signed by everyone.
A big thank you to all the wonderful crew on the road who made this dream run a reality:
