A Tribute To David Attenborough. We invite
all creatures, great and small, from Birds of Paradise to Monsters of
the Deep to converge for a very special evening – a tribute to the
greatest naturalist to have ever walked God’s green earth: David
Attenborough. Join us as we transform the iconic Metro Theatre in Sydney
into plush Amazonian rainforests the likes of which our urban jungles
have never seen. No costume = no entry. Adequate homage to the true King
of the Jungle can not be paid unless you arrive in head to toe animalia.
You can expect a WILD migration of DJs from all 7 continents
entertaining you Wildebeest from the Okavango Delta; you Madagascan
Lemurs; you Galapagos Komodo’s; you Antarctic Emperors; you Himalayan
Snow Leopards; you Andean Flamingo’s; you Mongolian Falcons; you filthy
little North American Kangaroo Rats! Our promise to you: Toto - Africa
will be played every 48 minutes on the dot by DJ Sloth and we will
reunite David Attenborough with his brother Richard Attenborough from
Jurassic Park.
FEATURING: Q&A PLUS EXCERPTS
FROM HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY - WHAT DOES THIS BUTTON DO? IRON MAIDEN singer,
BRUCE DICKINSON, announces a special one-man speaking tour of Australia
this October to support his autobiography, What Does This Button Do?
Delivering compelling excerpts from the book, slides and a Q&A, fans
will finally get the chance to ask questions of the heavy metal icon in
truly intimate venues. An Australian first, and a must for heavy music
lovers, Dickinson will make five East Coast Australian appearances.
Ticket purchasers will also receive a signed copy of the New York Times
Best-Selling autobiography. Bruce Dickinson is considered one of the
world’s most storied musicians. Aside from decades spent delivering
high-octane performances with his larger-than-life persona in Iron
Maiden, Bruce has lived an extraordinary off-stage existence too. A true
polymath, Bruce is, or has been, an airline pilot and captain, an
aviation entrepreneur, a beer brewer, motivational speaker, film
scriptwriter, twice-published novelist and best-selling author, radio
presenter, TV actor and international fencer. Over the last couple of
years, during Iron Maiden’s The Book Of Souls World Tour, Bruce turned
his unbridled creativity to writing his memoirs, longhand (in seven A4
notebooks no less). In What Does This Button Do? Bruce (a man who
famously never gives interviews about his personal life) shares, for the
first time, the most fascinating recollections, including his thirty
years with Maiden, the early days, his childhood within the eccentric
British school system, going solo, realising his dream of flying jumbo
jets and his recent battle with tongue cancer. “Dickinson is, as
expected, a natural storyteller…what an inspirational and incredible man
he is” - LOUD Magazine. “Dickinson isn’t your garden variety heavy metal
legend…he is arguably THE metal legend” - Noisey. “Both insightful and
entertaining” - Rolling Stone. Do not miss this unique opportunity to
witness one of Rock & Roll’s most captivating icons when Bruce Dickinson
tours Australia this October.
With Special Guests: HIGH TENSION & PRIVATE
FUNCTION. Famous for leaving a trail of exhausted, boozy, sweaty and
supremely satisfied bodies in their wake THE BRONX will be unleashing a
reckless level of energy; no barriers, no pause for breath, across
regional Australia this October. For the first time ever THE BRONX will
be bringing their gut punch of fist-in-the-air, fire-in-the-belly
anthems to towns up and down the East Coast. This is a once in a
lifetime opportunity for fans to see the band in intimate, sweat-filled
venues, and don’t be fooled… THE BRONX aren’t a rock and roll band, they
are rock and roll. Joining the convoy will be brutal Melbourne
favourites HIGH TENSION, fresh off a sold-out national tour in support
of their killer new album Purge. Rounding out the lineup with their
renowned off-the-hook and unpredictable live shows, PRIVATE FUNCTION
will bring their brand of uniquely Melbourne garage punk with no
compromise.

Post-Dispatch said "Bon Jovi doesn't miss a beat..." Toronto Sun

Belinda Carlisle returns to
Australia in March 2019 with a special concert series celebrating 30
years of her iconic album ‘Runaway Horses.’ Her career started in 1978
with the Go – Gos where she achieved instant stardom with hits including
“We Got The Beat“ and “Our Lips are Sealed“ After the band’s break up in
1985 Belinda Carlisle embarked on her hugely successful solo career and
released her first solo album in 1986. Her second album “Heaven On
Earth” produced the worldwide hit “Heaven Is A Place On Earth” which hit
number one on both the US and UK charts. The hits kept coming with the
release of her iconic 1989 album “Runaway Horses” which boasted the top
10 hits, “Leave The Light On For Me“ and “Summer Rain”. Belinda Carlisle
continued to produce hits including the number one classic “In Too Deep“
showing that she had real longevity in the pop scene. Her 2019
Australian tour will feature all her hits in a catalogue of music that
influenced a generation. Joining Belinda Carlisle on her Runaway Horses
tour will be Australia’s very own 1927 whose hit songs include “If I
Could” and “That’s When I Think Of You,” which has become an anthem in
Australian pop culture. The pairing of both of these artists will
provide a truly great concert experience.
