This second leg of the tour will be headlined by the legendary John Farnham alongside special guests James Reyne, Daryl Braithwaite, Shannon Noll and Taxiride.
It will include a stopover in Kiama on Saturday, March 18 at Kiama Showground.
Revered as one of the best male vocalists – by both fans and fellow musicians – Farnham has enjoyed an incredibly versatile career.
He took the hearts of the nation with his debut release as Johnny Farnham in 1967.
Fast-forward to the 1980s and Farnham become one of Australia’s favourite sons with an incredible string of smash hit albums.
His return to the industry – the 1986 album Whispering Jack – was the first record to sell more than a million copies in Australia, and its chart-topping single You’re The Voice cemented the solo artist as the ‘voice’ of the country.
During the next several years he released hit after hit, including Pressure Down, Reasons, A Touch of Paradise, Age of Reason, Two Strong Hearts, Angels, Talk of The Town, Chain Reaction, Burn For You, Have A Little Faith (In Us) and That’s Freedom.
Since the 1980s, he has been selling out stadiums, always incredibly in demand for his live shows.
James Reyne has been treading the boards in the rock halls of Australian music for decades.
From his time fronting the legendary Australian Crawl through to his solo career, his music is part of Australian history.
When Australian Crawl split in the mid-1980s, Reyne embarked on a successful solo career.
When it comes to recognisable voices within the Australian music scene, there are few as impressive as that of Daryl Braithwaite.
In a diverse career that has spanned decades, his consistency as a performer sees him performing regularly to packed crowds throughout the country.
Starting his career in the 1970s as the front-man for Sherbet, Braithwaite was crowned ‘King of Pop’ and the band produced 20 national Top 40 singles.
In the 1980’s he set out on his own solo career, releasing smash hit singles such as One Summer, As The Days Go By and The Horses.
With ten consecutive Top Ten singles in the charts, it’s fair to say that Shannon Noll has earned his place in the Aussie rock industry.
The country boy first came to prominence thanks to his performances on the first series of television talent show Australian Idol.
He has been nominated for several ARIA awards.
The multi award-winning Taxiride smashed onto the Australian music scene in the early 2000s.
With Top Five ARIA platinum-selling albums and six Top 40 ARIA singles, the band toured throughout Australia, North America, Europe and Asia.
Their hits include Get Set, Everywhere You Go, Creepin’ Up Slowly, Oh Yeah and You Gotta Help Me.
