White Album Concert
Indulgent, sprawling, overflowing with ideas and excess, the White Album became not only a monument to unbridled creativity but a rock archetype.
21 Musicians and singers perform the Beatles White Album
It’s one of the most successful Beatles events ever staged in Australia. After three sold-out tours in 2009, 2014 and 2018 Chris Cheney (The Living End), Phil Jamieson (Grinspoon), Tim Rogers (You Am I), and ARIA Award-winning solo artist Josh Pyke are reuniting for a 2023 tour in a nod to this very special album.
Coming after India, but before the split, the White Album was the sound of John, Paul, George and Ringo throwing everything they’d learned into their musical blender. This major work bursts with variety, creativity, experimentation, and the genius of The Beatles during one of their most intense, fertile periods. One of the 10 greatest albums of all time according to Rolling Stone it’s 30 songs veer from the populist stomp of Back in the U.S.S.R and the mind-bending Happiness is a Warm Gun to the melodious sorrow of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, the ska pop fun of Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, and the hard rock prototype Helter Skelter.
Chris, Josh, Phil & Tim are backed by a 17-piece rock orchestra including guitars, strings and horns with musical direction by Rex Goh.
Louis Theroux Live
The man who brought us some of the most insightful and compelling documentaries we've ever seen is now coming to Australian shores
An intimate evening with the BBC’s fearless film-maker
Who is Louis Theroux?
What drove him to join the most brutal Neo-Nazi gang in the USA? How did his moral compass survive the sleazy bedrooms of a Nevada brothel or a club for swinging American suburbanites? Why did he hit New Orleans’ radio airwaves as a wannabe rap god? What scars does he carry from the living hell of Miami’s highest security prison?
This intimate evening with the BBC’s fearless film-maker lifts the lid on his explosive explorations of sex, drugs, death and the universe.
Drawing on footage from Weird Weekends, his eclectic mix of one-off investigations and other encounters with high-profile celebrities and powerbrokers, Theroux has chosen Australia to unpack his extraordinary catalogue of documentaries. Previously unseen footage will take audiences behind the scenes in a premiere two-hour event.
Talking to Australia’s own Julia Zemiro, Theroux explains how he works, how he comes to terms with danger, how he might approach certain encounters differently with the benefit of hindsight, and reveals tantalising footnotes about where some of his subjects find themselves today.
