Look out fans; this September will be just like your birthday, when Good Charlotte
bring their anthems back to Australia. Following the success of last
years sell out tour, the band will play both Melbourne and Sydney before
they head to Newcastle to play Fat As Butter Festival.
After eleven years, five studio albums, 10 million album sales and a shelf full of music and video awards, Good Charlotte’s return to Oz promises to be anything but forgettable.
Iconic tracks like ‘Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous’ and ‘The
Anthem’, hit the up tempo hearts of fans to keep them moving. While
their last studio album Cardiology, captured both a more personal side
of writing, mixed with some of their biggest party anthem hits,
including ‘Last Night’, ‘Sex on the Radio’ and ‘Like It’s Her
Birthday’.
After a hectic couple of months residing in Australia and starring in Channel Nine’s The Voice,
brothers Joel and Benji have returned to the States for a short time,
to begin work on their debut album as The Madden Brothers (2013
release) before heading back to Australia.
With such a strong affiliation with Australia, audiences can rest
assured Joel, Benji, Billy and Dean will conjure a party not to be
missed!

Chugg Entertainment is thrilled to put all suspicions at bay, allay all fears, and quash all rumours, as today we confirm that come September, not only will the master of macabre, Alice Cooper, be here for his headline theatre performances in Sydney and Melbourne, but he will also be adding shows in Brisbane, Perth and a second night in Melbourne.
Since the cancellation earlier this month of the Soundwave Revolution festival tour, many of the affected artists have been rumoured as not making their way down to Australia this September. But Alice is definitely coming.
Kicking off in New Zealand with a show at The Trusts Stadium in Auckland on Thursday 22nd September, the tour then hits Australia to kick off a run of dates starting in Brisbane on Saturday 24th September at the Brisbane Convention Centre, then down to Sydney for the Enmore Theatre show on Monday 26th September. Melbourne-bound, Alice Cooper will then play two nights at the Palais Theatre; the already scheduled Thursday 29th September show, and the newly added Friday 30th September date. Then it's west they head for the last show on the Australian run in Perth at Challenge Stadium on Sunday 2nd October.
Alice brings the "No More Mr Nice Guy" show, which has played to audiences in North America, South America and Europe since May, and which has received rave reviews from both fans and media worldwide. His highly anticipated return to Australia & New Zealand coincides with the release of his new Welcome 2 My Nightmare album, out through Sony Music on Friday 23rd September. The album, produced by longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin - who also produced the original "Welcome To My Nightmare" album in 1975 – features a host of special guests (including the three other surviving members of the original band, "Nightmare" guitarists Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner, Alice's touring band, Vince Gill, Rob Zombie, and, most shockingly, Ke$ha) as Alice revisits his legendary nightmares.
The original release is an all-time rock classic that spawned a worldwide theatrical tour and certified Alice Cooper as a visionary trailblazer whose influence persists today in rock, metal, pop, punk, theatre, television, film and much more. More than 35 years later, Alice and Ezrin have resurrected the horror and humor for a new generation.
As if that weren't exciting enough, this run of trans-Tasman shows will also mark the introduction of a new member of Alice's touring band, fittingly enough in this pocket of the world. Australia's own eminent guitar prodigy, Orianthi, debuts with Alice, joining guitarist Steve Hunter (who famously toured and recorded with Alice on "Welcome To My Nightmare" and Lou Reed with "Rock 'n Roll Animal," among many others) and Tommy Henriksen, along with drummer Glenn Sobel and longtime bassist Chuck Garric.
In what is certain to be a sensory overloading spectacle, the man who first introduced horror imagery to rock 'n roll, and whose stagecraft and showmanship have permanently transformed the genre, will be blowing the roof off theatres from coast to coast. Do not miss out!
TICKETS FOR ALL NEW SHOWS GO ON SALE 9AM, THURSDAY 8TH SEPTEMBER
