About 15,000 revellers rocked out to Creedence Clearwater Revisited when the band shared the bill with Dr Hook in Gibbston in March this year and now the five-piece act are coming back for more.
Bad Moon Rising, Proud Mary, Down on the Corner, and Who'll Stop the Rain are some of the Credence Clearwater Revival songs the band will perform on its five-date national tour. Bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford were members of CCR.
The group's final date will be at the Queenstown Events Centre on Sunday, February 5, at 5pm. Tickets, costing $89, are on sale now.
