The Sunsets Farewell Tour was a 2010 concert tour of Australian rock band Powderfinger. It was their last concert tour following the announcement on 9 April 2010 that they would be breaking up after the tour, saying it would be their last as the band had musically said everything they wanted to say.[1] It coincided with the release of their final album, Golden Rule, on 13 November 2009.
In a statement read by Bernard Fanning, the band said:
"With the completion of our last album, Golden Rule, we feel that we have said all that we want to say as a musical group. We firmly believe that it is our most complete and satisfying album and can't think of a better way to farewell our fans than with music that we all believe in and also with, hopefully, our best tour to date."[2]
The band also stated, regarding the set list, that their first album Parables for Wooden Ears probably wouldn't feature so much; Fanning laughed while saying, "we're going to play that in its entirety." Most of the songs performed were from their most successful albums – Internationalist, Odyssey Number Five and Vulture Street – as well as singles "These Days" and "Bless My Soul".
