Unquestionably unique, Midnight Oil could never, ever be mistaken for any other band…as much a political force in their native Australia as they are its most defining rock icons, Midnight Oil is renowned globally as well for their potent music and equally ardent and courageous social activism.

Fronted by the fiercely passionate, toweringly tall, shaven-pate Peter Garrett, the Oils are this year releasing the 14th studio album of their career, Capricornia. They are also bracing for a major coast-to-coast tour of North America-- a conquest they have not made for almost half a decade-followed by a swing through the European continent.

The Oils are perhaps best known around the world for the extraordinary track "Beds Are Burning," their unforgettable anthem about Aboriginal land rights that was a global hit single in the late '80s-and which they recently reprised to great effect with a 'guerilla' performance at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, staged in front of their Prime Minister to draw attention to governmental abuses against Australia's indigenous peoples.
