With a career spanning over 30 years, ICEHOUSE has continued to delight millions with their music, well-known and loved by audiences across generations. In 2006 Icehouse was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association Hall of Fame, being described as “…one of the most successful Australian bands of the 80s and 90s… With an uncompromising approach to music production they created songs that ranged from pure pop escapism to edgy, lavish synthesized pieces.” Icehouse has played to sellout audiences in Australia and has toured extensively. In recent times Iva Davies and Icehouse have maintained a presence in the Australian media as well as establishing their global online footprint with their popular Facebook, YouTube, X and other social media pages and sites.

JET
Originally hailing from Dingley in Melbourne, Jet quickly conquered the world after forming in 2001, selling more than 6.5 million albums globally and securing 10 x Platinum certification in Australia and Platinum in the USA and UK for their 2003 debut album Get Born. The album produced a string of classic singles in ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl’, ‘Rollover DJ’, and ‘Look What You’ve Done’ and netted the band 6 x 2004 ARIA awards. Both ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl’ and ‘Cold Hard Bitch’ peaked at number 1 on the US Modern Rock singles charts and propelled the band to the top of festival bills and charts around the world.
Jet’s follow up album Shine On followed in 2006 and was rammed full of another collection of melodic rockers including, ‘Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is’, ‘Bring It On Back’ and ‘Rip It Up’, and achieved platinum status in Australia on the back of stand-out headline shows around the world, and an unforgettable Big Day Out run in 2007. Jet played their last show in 2010 and reformed in the Summer of 2017 for a series of shows with Bruce Springsteen & their own special headline dates in Sydney and Melbourne. In 2023 Jet’s greatness and legendary status was formally recognised when they were inducted into the Hall of Fame at the 37th ARIA Awards.
JON STEVENS
Jon Stevens returns to Mackay again to thrill audiences far and wide with the Noiseworks & INXS Collection, which pays homage to the bands that helped cement him as Aussie rock royalty. With a career that spans more than four decades, Jon has a swag of solo hits to his name, as well as songs which have become all-time favourites from his time with bands Noiseworks, INXS and the Dead Daisies. His performance will feature hit after hit and have punters on their feet from start to finish.
PETE MURRAY
Pete Murray is one of an elite group of Australian artists to have sold over 1.2 million records across his illustrious, 20-plus year career in music. He has also achieved 3 ARIA chart-topping albums to date (2003’s Feeler, 2006’s See The Sun and 2008’s Summer At Eureka) and has been nominated for a whopping 17 ARIA Awards.
With a long list of radio hits and 7 albums under his belt, Pete Murray has always been a crowd favourite everywhere he plays. His string of hit singles–‘Feeler’, ‘So Beautiful’ and ‘Opportunity ’to name just a few–continue to soundtrack life’s precious moments and Pete often receives feedback that certain songs, particularly ‘Better Days’, have saved lives. “There’s no greater appreciation for your song than your lyrics keeping someone alive; that’s just the best thing you could ever hope for,” he acknowledges.
BABY ANIMALS
Baby Animals exploded onto the Australian music scene in 1991 with their debut album spending six weeks at number one, eventually going eight times platinum and becoming the highest-selling debut Australian rock album until the release of Jet's 'Get Born' album 12 years later.
Baby Animals launched back onto the scene in 2013 with their third album (the first in 20 years), This Is Not The End, a genuine rock album with a return to classic Baby Animals form that their fans loved. The band has struck a familiar pose with their enigmatic singer Suze DeMarchi and her talismanic guitarist Dave Leslie returning for action. They’re joined with Dario Bortolin on bass and Mick Skelton on drums.
1927
Australian pop rock legends 1927 formed in 1987. In 1988 their album ...Ish went multi-platinum number-one. Front man Weideman reformed the band in 2009 with a new lineup.
Fast forward to 2024 and the wheels are well and truly back on!
“The last 10-12 years has been very fulfilling for me. I’ve taken the band to a different audience.” Indeed the demographic of 1927 has changed and developed. The songs have managed to reach a new generation of music fans — punters who know greatness when they hear it.
BACHELOR GIRL
Bachelor Girl is one of the biggest and most loved Australian acts of the 90’s and early 2000’s, enjoying international acclaim particularly in Asia, Scandinavia and the U.S. (including signing with Clive Davis at Arista Records).
Standing out with their exceptional songwriting and Tania’s warm, powerful vocal, APRA recently reported a massive achievement for the band – their hit single “Buses and Trains” being the most played Australian composition on Australian radio in the last 25 years.
