Rock & Roll Under the Southern Stars
The announcement of new dates for Under the Southern Stars was met with major approval from fans all over the country who have been incredibly loyal as they patiently waited for the series to be rescheduled (following the year-that-cannot-be-named!)
With the nation slowly emerging from the most trying period of our lives, organisers are incredibly excited to get the show back on the road and deliver one hell of a rock n roll experience for fans everywhere, including the first show in a series of twelve at Maitland Showground on Friday, 11 March.
Headlining the spectacular rock music concert series will be international acts Cheap Trick, Stone Temple Pilots and BUSH, with supporting acts Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Rose Tattoo and Electric Mary also taking to the stage.
With over 5,000 performances spanning four decades, 20 million records sold worldwide, and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cheap Trick are undoubtedly one of the most influential classic rock groups of the past 50 years. The band was formed in 1974, and while it has evolved throughout the years, Cheap Trick has continued to reach mainstream and critical success. Hits such as I Want You To Want Me, Dream Police, and Surrender have cemented the group as one of
America's top rock 'n' roll bands of all time.
BUSH has been a mainstay on Australian radios since the release of their debut album Sixteen Stone in 1994. The album was an instant smash, spending 43 weeks in the Australian Top 50.
One of the biggest rock acts of the 1990s with over 50 million albums sold, Stone Temple Pilots broke out of the scene they helped to define into bonafide superstars.
Locals, Rose Tattoo, need no introduction, but just in case you need a refresher, one of the pillars of Australia's distinct pub rock sound has been spreading its message across the world for nearly 50 years! These true rock n roll outlaws, led by the one and only Angry Anderson, who at 72 years of age continues to show frontmen a quarter of his age just how it's done, will pull no punches as they deliver a set full of classics.
