Elvis to the Max - The King in Concert

Featuring – Max Pellicano

It’s 35 years since the passing of “The King”, but Elvis Presley’s legend lives on in the guise of Max Pellicano, whose uncanny resemblance and thrilling performances have mesmerised Australians over the last two decades.

Max’s tribute goes beyond impersonation. His looks, moves, vocal style, impressions and humour are so accurate it’s truly amazing. The attitude – shy but confident – that Max Pellicano mimics, with a rich Mississippi drawl, is typically Elvis. Even his costumes are exact replicas, made by Elvis’s personal tailor.

The Elvis To The Max production, The King In Concert, will be presented in three stages: King of Rock ‘n’ Roll – the '50s Masters; the ’68 Comeback TV Special that was regarded as a forerunner of the “Unplugged” concept; and the music concert called Aloha From Hawaii.  In true Elvis-style, Max will be supported by an 11-piece band and four back-up singers.

Elvis To The Max – The King In Concert is being presented in Australia by Abstract Entertainment.

Show Dates: Friday 19 April 2013 

Adam Brand & Beccy Cole - I Was Here 2013 Tour

Featuring – Adam Brand and Beccy Cole

If ever there was a concert line up not to miss out on….then this is it! Two of Australia’s biggest and best, a young gun hungry and ready to rock, and a veteran top level musician embarking on a solo project that everyone’s talking about.

It’s fair to say that ADAM BRAND had a 2012 that many artists dream about. The highest charting Australian country album of the year, capital city airplay on mainstream radio networks, MIX FM and Triple M local works, TV syncs (Farmer wants a wife), national TV campaign for Salvos Christmas Appeal using current single, “I Was Here”, sell out concert dates, TV appearances on Sunrise, Morning Show, TEN late news, Better Homes and Garden, and to top it off, signed by Channel 7 as a new host on “The Great Outdoors”!! His latest album “There Will Be Love” is being heralded as his best ever! This is an artist at the top of his game and 2013 is already shaping up to be even bigger.

What a year BECCY COLE has had, recently taking home two Golden Guitars at the 2012 40th Jayco Country Music awards of Australia. Winning the top awards for Female Artist of the Year and Vocal Collaboration of the Year (with Kasey Chambers) has brought Beccy’s Golden Guitar total to an impressive nine. Add to this her 3 Gold records, 12 number one singles, 2 Entertainer of the year awards and a legion of loyal fans, Beccy has again proved she is here to stay.

Anyone who has ever seen Beccys live show knows this is one performer who gives it everything and knows how to deliver!

TRAVIS COLLINS is as well-known for his masterful guitar playing and stellar vocals as he is for his storytelling style of song-writing. Travis is a powerful performer and it’s only a matter of time before the world finds out about this budding superstar!

SUZI QUATRO had this to say after watching Travis open her shows on her last Australian tour – “I watched Travis go out there simply with his voice, guitar, and his warmth and blow ‘my audience’ away.”

MATT CORNELL is one of Australia’s up & coming country artists, who for the past decade has been an in demand musician & backing vocalist, who has toured the world with some of the biggest names in the music business. His new single,‘Days Too remember’ is airing nationally on CMC, & his new Ep will be on iTunes early 2013.

Get your ticket early coz this one will sell out fast!

I WAS HERE 2013….. BE THERE!!!

Les Miserables Stage Show Coming Back To Australia - Hugh Jackman Will Not Be In It

Revolutionaries rejoice! Cameron Mackintosh’s stage musical ‘Les Miserables’ is set to return to Australia next year!

The British Cameron Mackintosh confirmed this morning that his new 25^th anniversary production of Les Mis would be re-staged with an all-Australian cast at Melbourne's Her Majesty's Theatre from June 2014 – but, Hugh Jackman won’t be in it!

Jackman just played Jean Valjean in the Tom Hooper film adaptation of the production, yet Cameron revealed "No, Hugh won't (be cast). There'd be no reason for him to do it; and he's busy with his other projects."

"I'd love to get Hugh back on the stage doing something, but it wouldn't be Jean Valjean. The stage show and the film are completely different things, even though they complement each other."

Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe perform at Oscars!

He also added that the Australian production would be part of a larger global tour, taking in Canada, America, Japan and South Korea - and that it will probably tour around the country, after opening in Melbourne.

"At the moment, I'm concentrating only on the initial season, but I'm sure it will branch out to other cities," he said.

Tickets will go on sale in October this year, for a June 2014 opening.

Anne Hathaway just scored best supporting actress for her role in Les Miserables the movie, and we don’t see the show’s popularity waning any time soon!

Academy Awards best and worst dressed!

Linkin Park – Living Things World Tour w/ Stonesour

Multi-award winning rock icons LINKIN PARK are thrilled to announce two sideshows only (Sydney & Melbourne) on the back of the sold out Soundwave Festival.

As part of their Living Things world tour, these shows will surely be two of the biggest international rock shows over the summer of 2013.

Since their 2000 debut album ‘Hybrid Theory’, LINKIN PARK have spent the last 12 years doing something popular artists just don’t do:  going off-menu.  The learning curve was arduous, but a necessary and welcome challenge for the band. 

‘Hybrid Theory’ isn’t just the title of the first album, but a career mission statement.  From day one, LINKIN PARK built the band upon the premise of fusing all of their favourite styles of music—as disparate as they might be—into one signature sound.

Fast-forward 12 years to ‘Living Things’ and LINKIN PARK have not only developed new tools to make that philosophy a reality, but they’re finally comfortable embracing—and coalescing—every aspect of their career. 

Once again they have made the courageous leap into the unknown.  “Living Things” is a personal album, centred on human emotions and relationships implied by the title. 

It is informed by and built upon all previous albums, while still pushing the band’s sound into new territory.  It’s spirited, energetic, daring and unafraid to hybridize the past, present and future.  This is absolute proof to a radical theory six musicians have devoted their lives to testing.

Joining LINKIN PARK for this date is STONE SOUR.
