+Support From Wild Oceans

One of the most recognisable voices in Canadian music history, alternative rock band Crash Test Dummies is a three-time Grammy-nominated and JUNO award-winning group, who soared to the top of the worldwide charts in the early 1990’s with hits “Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm” and “Superman’s Song”. Their cover of “The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead” was a highlight of the soundtrack to the blockbuster film, “Dumb and Dumber”, while simultaneously reaching #4 on the US Top 100 album charts. They have remained true to the same folk-hued, alternative spirit of their early sound, centred around the distinct baritone of frontman Brad Roberts and Ellen Reid’s folk rock fusion.

After a twenty-year hiatus, the Crash Test Dummies reunited in 2018 for a two-week tour to celebrate the anniversary of the hugely successful “God Shuffled His Feet”. The overwhelming reception to these shows has led to continuous touring across three continents, with sold-out shows across the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and, most recently, Australia.

The dynamic and high-energy stage show features the band’s most iconic songs, performed by original members Brad Roberts, Ellen Reid, Dan Roberts and Mitch Dorge. Joining them are long standing guitarist Stuart Cameron and relative newcomer Leith Fleming-Smith, Canada’s keyboard whiz-kid.
