Suzi Quatro, the undisputed Queen of Rock, is returning for her 38th tour of Australia to headline this upcoming series. Audiences have always adored her performances at the Red Hot Summer Tour, and it’s no surprise given her remarkable career. Few female performers can match the success and versatility of Suzi Quatro, who has sold over 55 million records and spent 101 weeks in the British charts during the 1970s. Hits like ‘The Wild One’, ’48 Crash’, ‘Devil Gate Drive’, ‘She’s in Love with You’, and ‘If You Can’t Give Me Love’ have made her an icon.
In 2019, the release of her documentary, “SUZI Q,” topped Amazon charts worldwide. Her duet album with KT Tunstall, “Face To Face,” released in August this year, garnered critical acclaim, including ‘album of the year’ by Jools Holland and significant success in the USA.
Cheap Trick, in their 50th anniversary year, remains one of the most influential classic rock groups of the past half-century. Their hits, including ‘The Flame’, ‘Dream Police’, ‘I Want You To Want Me’, and ‘Surrender’, have secured their place in rock ‘n’ roll history. With 20 million records sold worldwide and over 5,000 performances spanning four decades, they’re a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and a true rock icon.
Jon Stevens, known for his outstanding solo career and stints with Noiseworks, INXS, and Dead Daisies, continues to impress as one of Australia’s most talented rock musicians. His song ‘Something Bout You’ features Vanessa Amorosi, and Ringo Starr plays drums on ‘One Way Street’.
The Angels, Australian rock legends, promise to deliver an unforgettable set-list of catalogue classics. They’ve redefined the Australian rock tradition and continue to shake up the scene.
Baby Animals burst onto the scene 30 years ago with their iconic debut album, featuring hits like ‘Rush You’, ‘Early Warning’, and ‘Painless’. Their record-smashing debut marked an era in Australian rock music history, and their latest release is making waves.
The Screaming Jets, with their charismatic frontman Dave Gleeson, have been an enduring force in Australian music for over three decades. Their album “All For One,” released in 1991, became an instant classic and remains beloved by fans.
Chocolate Starfish, led by Adam Thompson, are renowned for their high-energy live performances. Their hits like ‘Four Letter Word’, ‘Mountain’, and ‘You’re So Vain’ made them a force in the ’90s Australian music scene.
