The Living End to Celebrate 25 Years of Their Debut Album with One-Off Melbourne Show
The Living End released their self-titled debut album in October 1998. Featuring the singles ‘Second Solution’, ‘Prisoner of Society’, ‘Save the Day’, ‘All Torn Down’ and ‘West End Riot’, the album debuted at number one on the ARIA albums chart and went on to achieve 4x platinum accreditation.
The success of The Living End lay the foundation for everything that’s followed for the Melbourne trio, who remain a constant presence on the touring circuit. The band, led by founding members, guitarist/vocalist Chris Cheney and upright bass player Scott Owen, are celebrating the album’s 25th birthday with a one-off show at Melbourne’s Festival Hall on Saturday, 4th November.
