Rock royalty heading to town

Indisputable member of Aussie rock royalty, Jon Stevens, is set to transport fans back to 1987 with an electrifying, hit-filled performance at Costa Hall, Geelong, on Saturday February 26.

Off the back of a sell-out 2019 tour, with a little bit of 2020-21 madness thrown in the mix, Stevens is back tributing the legendary bands that catapulted him into Australian rock’s hall of fame.

Featuring special guests Boom Crash Opera, the performance will bring to life smash hits Take Me Back, New Sensation, Touch, Don’t Change, Hot Chilli Woman, Never Tear Us Apart, No Lies and many more.

Inspired by an unexpected 2018 backstage reunion with dear friend and former bandmate Andrew Harriss – a co-founding member of INXS – Stevens reflected on his expansive 40-year career and the exhilarating time spent fronting INXS from 2000 to 2005, and The Noiseworks and INXS Collection tour was born.

An assault of the senses with nothing but relentless hits, live music-lovers of the G21 region can expect a visceral charge of emotion to transport them back to 1987 and press play on the huge songs that made up the soundtrack of their lives.

Stevens said on social media he was excited to bring the show on the road and be back on stage after being forced into rescheduling his shows over the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Final tickets have been released at geelongartscentre.org.au.
