Australian rock supergroup Australian Rock Collective will bring the music of the Eagles to Newcastle this June, performing the iconic album Hotel California in full, along with a selection of the band’s greatest hits.
The tour will stop at the Newcastle Civic Theatre, giving local audiences the chance to experience one of rock’s most celebrated albums performed live by some of Australia’s most respected musicians.
Australian Rock Collective is made up of four heavyweights of the local music scene: Kram of Spiderbait, Darren Middleton of Powderfinger, Mark Wilson of Jet and Davey Lane of You Am I.
Together, the group boasts an extraordinary combined record of 33 ARIA Awards and 16 Top Ten albums.
Since forming in 2014 after a one-off performance at the World Cup in Brazil, ARC has built a reputation for delivering powerful live tributes to classic records. Previous shows have seen the band reinterpret landmark albums such as Abbey Road, Let It Be, Harvest, The Dark Side of the Moon and Led Zeppelin IV in prestigious venues across the country.
For this tour, the band turns its focus to the 1976 masterpiece Hotel California, one of the best-selling albums of all time. The performance promises both precision and energy as the musicians dive into the sound and spirit of the era while celebrating the enduring influence of the Eagles’ catalogue.
The national tour will visit venues across Australia, including Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, before concluding in Perth. Along the way, Newcastle audiences will experience a performance driven by the passion of lifelong music fans who have themselves helped shape Australia’s rock legacy.
