INXS's 1985 Concert History

INXS was an Australian new wave band, formed as The Farriss Brothers in 1977 in Sydney, New South Wales. The band's founding members were bassist Garry Gary Beers, main composer and keyboardist Andrew Farriss, drummer Jon Farriss, guitarist Tim Farriss, lead singer and main lyricist Michael Hutchence, and guitarist and saxophonist Kirk Pengilly. For 20 years, INXS was fronted by Hutchence, whose magnetic stage presence made him the focal point of the band.

Sep 05, 2026

The 14 & 15 November 1985 dates are incorrect. The shows were at the Hollywood Palladium, not Hollywood Park.

Nov 22, 2025

Jan 15, 2023

I went and saw INXS with Jon Stevens as frontman on the lawns of the Pacific Bay Resort in Coffs Harbour. I'm pretty sure it was 2002 but can't find it on the list. Can anyone else remember this one?

Nov 28, 2021

INXS's final concert was on 11 November 2012. Any concerts listed after this date are incorrect.
