Don’t forget to dress in your best hornbag outfit because there’s a prize for best-dressed, too.
BLISS N ESO

Bliss n Eso are bringing their explosive Party on the Moon tour to NEX, backed by the energy of new tracks from The Moon (The Light Side) and a killer back catalogue of tracks from the last two decades. With support from Melbourne’s Ivan Ooze, this is one show local hip hop fans won’t want to miss.
MAGIC MEN
> JUNE 21
Back by popular demand, the Magic Men are returning to NEX for one night only. Expect a high-energy, cheeky night with Australia’s top male performers serving up dance, charm, and plenty of heat. The show sold out last time, so don’t wait too long if you’re planning a wild night with your crew.

Smokie returns to Australia for their 50th Anniversary All the Greatest Hits Tour, and Newcastle fans get their turn in October. It will be a massive sing-a-long featuring hit after hit including Living Next Door to Alice and Needles and Pins. If it’s been a while since you’ve seen the Smokie, lock it in and see why the legendary UK band are still a live force five decades on.
