Neil Finn and his son Liam had a surprise for fans at the end of their set at Bourbon & Beyond festival on Saturday.

Crowded House has unveiled “Playing With Fire.” a sing-along pop/rock anthem ahead of their anticipated seventh album, Dreamers are Waiting, due June 4. “This song was formed out of a Crowded House jam, live in the studio but then evolved its character through many twists and turns during quarantine in 2020. ‘Playing With Fire’ carries within it the contradiction I often feel on joyous occasions, the presence of hope together with an impending sense of doom,” frontman Neil Finn says in the band’s press materials. The single is accompanied by a music video directed by Simon Mark-Brown.

All but one of the band members is dressed in white ...
