Across the Great Divide tour
The Across the Great Divide tour was a concert tour by Australian alternative rock bands Powderfinger and Silverchair in 2007.
The tour featured concerts in 26 towns across Australia and multiple shows in New Zealand.

Both bands aimed to increase awareness of the efforts of Reconciliation Australia to reduce the current 17- year gap in life expectancy between the average Australian life and that of Indigenous Australians.
A triple DVD set was released with the same title as the tour on 1 December 2007 with the Melbourne performances for both bands and backstage occurrences from the tour.
