Bon But Not Forgotten is the closest you
will ever get to AC/DC in the 70's! This show brings together some of
the world’s greatest rockers to pay tribute to the legend behind one of
the world's greatest ever bands, AC/DC, and their iconic singer Bon
Scott who celebrates his Birthday on July 9th. Featuring a knock-out
line-up, including past members of AC/DC and other Aussie rock icons,
The Angels Electric Mary and more, this band knows how to electrify a
crowd with its explosive repertoire of AC/DC's greatest hits. Not
content with just performing a 'Best Of' set, the band also focuses on
some gems that aren't commercial in nature, but true fans will love to
hear them live, some for the first time. This show replicates the sound,
style and passion of AC/DC, without pretence. It is quite simply THE
most natural sounding AC/DC performance of any band, other than AC/DC
themselves. There is no other band on earth that can perform the show
like these carefully selected musicians.

MUSIC LEGEND RETURNS WITH SONGBOOK
SPANNING SIX DECADES. Bob Dylan will return to Australia this August for
a string of arena shows. In a career spanning six decades, Bob Dylan’s
impact on popular music and culture is immeasurable. He is responsible
for some of the most influential albums of all time, including The
Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde, and
his socially and politically charged singles, ‘Blowin’ In The Wind’ and
‘The Times They Are A-Changin’, are widely considered among the most
important songs in modern music. The ‘voice of a generation’ boasts an
unparalleled repertoire, including timeless classics, ‘Like A Rolling
Stone’, ‘Tangled Up In Blue’, ‘Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door’ and ‘Girl From
The North Country’. To experience Bob Dylan live in concert is an
opportunity to share an encounter with one of the last remaining musical
legends of the modern era. Don’t miss out on what promises be a
performance for the ages.
90s Britrock icons Reef, The Wildhearts
and Terrorvision are joining forces for an attack on Australia this
August/September for the first ‘Britrock Must Be Destroyed’ tour. Best
known for their Hottest 100 banger ‘Place Your Hands’, Reef were never
far from rock radio playlists, spending the decade supporting artists
like Paul Weller, The Rolling Stones and Soundgarden while making a trip
to Australia as part of the seminal 1996 lineup of the Big Day Out.
Terrorvision are one of the genre’s trailblazers, with ‘Oblivion’,
‘Perseverance’ and ‘Tequila’ all hitting the upper reaches of the UK
charts. The Wildhearts, known for their smashing live shows were riding
high throughout the 90s and 2000s with two top 20 UK albums and their
rock anthem ‘I Wanna Go Where the People Go’. Combined, the three bands
bring a collision of anthemic British rock waging war on boredom
mediocrity and probably each other. As Tony Wright of Terrorvision
states; “It’s going to be great to find out what was going on in the 90s
and what it sounded like. I’ve seen the pics and so I know we were there
– but to experience it first-hand will be ace!” Reef’s Gary Stringer
enthuses; “Really amped to be hitting the road this August and joining
up with the guys from Terrorvision and The Wildhearts, it’s gonna be a
blast! See you there, happy days.” While Ginger of The Wildhearts throws
down the challenge; “We are honoured to be a part of this legendary
tour. Mainly because it means that we’re still alive, but also because
it gives us a chance to prove that we were always the best band of this
whole bunch.”
