The Seekers reunited late in 1992, with the classic line-up of Durham, Guy, Potger and Woodley. [1] [6] In March 1992, all four had met together for the first time in 20 years at a restaurant in Toorak, an inner suburb of Melbourne. Before then they had never talked about reforming; they just wanted to get to know each other again. It was two months later that they decided to do a reunion concert, which led to a 102-date tour. [38] The 25-Year Silver Jubilee Reunion Celebration tour in 1993 was sufficiently successful that the group continued to perform and record together, on and off, until shortly before Judith Durham's death in August 2022. From 1993 until 2022 they staged several sell-out tours of Australia, New Zealand and the UK. The group issued several new albums, including the studio albums Future Road in October 1997 (which peaked at No.4 on the ARIA Albums Chart) and Morningtown Ride to Christmas (which reached the top20 in 2001 [37]) Both albums were certified platinum.
