Bryan Adams
As a legend in the industry, Bryan Adams is well known for his signature brand of feel-good rock’n’roll, having achieved a string of number ones in more than 40 countries and having sold more than 65 million records worldwide.
He released 'Ultimate' last November, a celebration of his classic rock ballads that have spanned the length of his four-decade-long career, including hit singles 'Summer of ’69', '(Everything I Do), I Do It For You', 'Heaven' and his Rod Stewart and Sting collaboration 'All For Love'. The album also featured two brand new songs 'Ultimate Love' and 'Please Stay', his first new music in more than two years.
Over the course of the last 40 years, he has collected an impressive number of achievements, including a Grammy, three Academy Awards and five Golden Globe nominations. He was also awarded the Order of Canada and the Order of British Columbia for his contributions to popular music and philanthropic work through his foundation, The Bryan Adams Foundation.
As a long time Australian touring favourite, Bryan Adams is no stranger to being on the road. Currently on tour throughout Europe with the Shine A Light Tour, he will also perform for audiences in Canada, the UK and New Zealand before heading to Australia next March. He is also working on a new album, which fans can expect to arrive sometime in 2019.
Mark Seymour & The Undertow
Mark Seymour & The Undertow
The renowned former frontman of seminal Australian band Hunters & Collectors, Mark Seymour is one of our country’s most gifted and respected musicians. Mark has consistently delivered timeless tunes, not only with his band but as a solo artist, winning an ARIA for his second solo album One Eyed Man in 2011.
Spanning over 30 years, Seymour has delivered classics that immediately etched their way into our national consciousness, including ‘Holy Grail’, ‘Do You See What I See?’ and ‘Say Goodbye’. Even after leaving Hunters & Collectors and forming The Undertow in 2011, his influence hasn’t waned. 2017’s live album 'Roll Back The Stone' is a powerful testament to that, with STACK Magazine raving that the record ‘showcases a songwriter who’s simply getting better with age’.
The Undertow are Mark Seymour (vocals, guitar), Cameron McKenzie (guitars), Peter Maslen (drums) and John Favaro (bass).
Mahalia Barnes
Mahalia Barnes
As the daughter of one of Australia’s most successful vocalists, Jimmy Barnes, Mahalia Barnes has been in and around music her entire life, inheriting a powerful, soulful voice that will delight audiences.
Mahalia released 'Hard Expectations' earlier this year with her band The Soulmates, and has also performed on several tracks across Jimmy Barnes’ Working Class Boy (The Soundtracks) released this past August.
