INXS, the world renowned Australian rock band today announced their first European tour dates since 2002. The band who are in the midst of a sold out North American tour, will perform for the first time with their new lead singer, J.D. Fortune, who won the coveted role of stepping into the void left by the late Michael Hutchence in last year's wildly successful TV show Rock Star: INXS.

Kicking off at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire on Thursday October 12th, this first jaunt back on European soil for 4 years will see INXS play a series of highly intimate venues as they reconnect with their ardent European fans. The tour follows hot on the heels of the UK September 2006 release of the band's eleventh studio album 'Switch'.

J.D. Fortune became the new member of INXS after being chosen from among 15 finalists. For J.D. joining INXS was a dream come true and the greatest experience of his life. The 31-year-old singer originally discovered INXS as a teenager growing up in New Glasgow, Canada.

INXS are back with a vengeance. What hasn't changed is the band's unique ability for writing classic songs that fuse modern rock and dance styles. The INXS sound has made them one of the most popular bands globally. They've scored 17 Billboard hits (7 of which were top 10), 23 UK hits, 33 Australian hits and 6 consecutive Top Ten UK and US albums. Over the course of their 25-year-career, INXS have performed over 4,000 live concerts in front of more than 25 million people across almost 50 countries.

Their latest album, 'SWITCH', a crisp, tightly written album, is bringing the band to a whole new generation of fans. It's the band's first release in eight years and the first without original lead singer Michael Hutchence, who died tragically in 1997.
