INXS have announced “INXS Day,” which is a celebration of the 45th anniversary of their first live performance. In honour of the event, they’ve announced multiple vinyl reissues, a special livestream event, and more.

On August 16th, 1977, INXS (which was called The Farriss Brothers at the time) played their first show at a house party in Sydney. As part of the INXS Day celebration, they’ll be playing an hour-long livestream on TikTok.

The livestream is set to honour the 35th anniversary of their record, Kick, with a track-by-track feature, interviews with the band and producer Giles Martin, and more.
