Last year, Australian pop-rock band Killing Heidi planned to celebrate their multi-platinum 2000 debut album, Reflector, by performing it in full on the Good Things festival tour, but technical issues got in the way. So when the festival’s promoter pitched a 25th anniversary tour of the album for this year, the band jumped at the chance. The gambit was rewarded with a string of sold-out dates in June.
“I think it was my favourite thing we’ve done since Killing Heidi slipped back into being [in 2016],” says frontwoman Ella Hooper. “The atmosphere was so full of anticipation for these songs we wrote when we were kids. I think we went back into full-body reliving mode – except for a few crow’s feet on me and the front row.”
