The Great Australian Songbook Live will bring an all-star celebration of iconic Aussie music to Newcastle this July.
The major concert brings together four powerhouse performers and a world-class band to reimagine the songs that have shaped the nation’s identity, spirit and soundtrack for generations.
Taking on lead vocal duties are four of the country’s most recognisable and respected artists: Christine Anu, Kav Temperley, Shannon Noll and Isabella Manfredi.
Each brings their own distinctive history to the stage, from Anu’s career-defining My Island Home and global stage appearances, to Temperley’s chart-topping success with Eskimo Joe and his extensive touring resume across festivals and orchestral shows.
They’ll be joined by Shannon Noll, whose two decades of hits and unmistakable presence have cemented him as a true Aussie favourite, along with Isabella Manfredi, the magnetic frontwoman of The Preatures and an acclaimed solo artist in her own right.
Her high-voltage performance style and creative force add a dynamic edge to the rotating vocal lineup.
With Musical Director Ben Fletcher leading the band, audiences can expect a live experience that honours the original recordings while delivering something entirely new.
The show is built to transport music lovers back to the moments these songs first became meaningful, whether soundtracking road trips, summer festivals, major milestones or quiet memories now decades old.
The Great Australian Songbook Live will take over the Civic Theatre Newcastle on Thursday, 16 July. Tickets are on sale now via mellenevents.com.au.
