Ross Wilson & The Peaceniks – 50 Years of Hits Tour

Support Act: Jethro Pickett

Ross Wilson is hitting the road with his all-star band The Peaceniks to celebrate over “50 Years of Hits” including all the Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock favourites you’d expect along with the latest offering from an almost 6-decade career, tracks from his latest EP on Bloodlines Records, “She’s Stuck On Facebook All The Time”, and everything in between.

From Daddy Cool to Mondo Rock and as a solo artist with no less than 26 ARIA Top 40 hits to his credit as a singer, songwriter and producer, Ross Wilson is one of Australia’s most awarded, respected, and well-known artists! From the legendary band Daddy Cool whose number one anthem “Eagle Rock” and debut album "Daddy Who?" smashed all previous sales records in Australia an astounding 50 years ago in 1971, to the 1977 formation of Mondo Rock, delivering 80’s hits ‘Cool World’, ‘State of The Heart’, ‘Chemistry’, ‘No Time’, and ‘Come Said The Boy’ and into the 21st century as a solo performer, Wilson has never been out of the limelight. His latest release in 2023 “She’s Stuck On Facebook All The Time” is a modern-day tragicomedy in the blues genre. Twice inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, Wilson’s live performances are legendary.

Support Act: Jethro Pickett

Maverick songwriter/producer Jethro Pickett crafts beguiling, off-kilter recordings, moored by charming melodies and spools of 24-track instrumentation. Based in Lutruwita/Tasmania, his latest single, Jolene (not a cover) is a heartfelt composition influenced by the storytelling prowess of legendary Dolly Parton. It was released this year on Phill Calvert’s Behind The Beat Records and recorded in Jethro’s boat shed home on the Huon river.
