The original line-up of mid-1990s rock band Live will tour Australia in November, playing outdoor shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

Best known for the 1994 album Throwing Copper, which yielded the singles I Alone, All Over You, Selling the Dama and Lightning Crashes, Live were also known for delivering powerful live performances. The band's last Australian tour was in 2006.

After settling on the line-up of frontman/guirtarist Ed Kowalczyk, guitarist Chad Taylor, bass player Patrick Dahlheimer and drummer Chad Gracey in 1989, Live released the Mental Jewellery album three years later and soon followed it up with the hugely popular Throwing Copper.

Kowalczyk left the band in 2009 but it continued on from 2012 for several years with a different singer. At the end of last year Kowalczyk was brought back into the fold.
