“This is the sound of The Cruel Sea doing exactly what it needs to do, and doing it well.” – The Australian

April 24, 2025: There is just one week to go before **The Cruel Sea** kick off their National Australian Theatre Tour, which will see the band play two huge sets, the first performing the new album ‘Straight Into The Sun’ in its entirety, followed by a second set of evergreen classics and rarely played deep cuts.

Adding to this, The Cruel Sea are pleased to announce that special guest **Mick Harvey** (The Birthday Party,** N**ick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Crime & the City Solution) will join the band on keyboard, percussion, and backing vocals for this tour (*except Mandurah).

These will be a very special, one-off run of shows that are not to be missed.
