Tours

Toni Collette & The Finish toured constantly around Australia throughout the end of 2006 to early 2007. Most venues were sell outs. The shows had a positive reception. Toni performed her last 2007 gig at The Vanguard at Newtown as a secret show; this show was sold out within a few days. Toni & The Finish announced that they will do a very special "warm up" show at the Gaelic Club Surry Hills on the 5/7/2007 for the basis to have fun before Live Earth. This also was the mark of Glenn Richards on guitar reuniting with the band to perform live as on the band's Look Up tour Richards was unable to tour with them because of recording commitments with Augie March. This warm-up show sold out the Gaelic club and got a very positive reaction from the crowd. Toni Collette and The Finish played at the Australian leg of the Live Earth concert in Sydney on 7 July 2007. This was their biggest gig to date. Toni Collette & The Finish headlined the concert along with Wolfmother,
