From 1977 to 1997 INXS have played around 2,500 live shows to audiences all around the globe. The exact number of concerts will never be determined, due to the sheer extent that the band push themselves when on tour. In the early days, circa 1980, INXS were playing seven nights a week all year round. INXS have played pubs and clubs and big arenas and each concert is unique. But no matter what size the crowd or where they are playing, INXS exude a raw power rarely seen in a band. INXS performed their first show at Toukley in New South Wales on 1 September, 1979.

"The thing about touring, is that you're only on stage for two hours out of every twenty four. So you spend the rest of the time getting there, preparing and waiting. But somehow I find that those two hours on stage make up for the other twenty-two hours of weirdness and boredom." -Jon Farriss
