Ross Wilson brings 50 years of hits to Wangaratta

Australian music icon Ross Wilson & The Peaceniks - 50 Years of Hits Tour is heading to the Wangaratta Performing Arts & Convention Centre on Friday 13 November at 8pm, delivering an unforgettable night celebrating more than five decades of Australian rock music. Backed by his acclaimed band The Peaceniks, Ross Wilson will take audiences on a journey through a remarkable career spanning seven decades, featuring beloved hits from Daddy Cool, Mondo Rock and his extensive solo catalogue. From his legendary first band Daddy Cool whose number one anthem 'Eagle Rock' and debut album 'Daddy Who?' smashed all previous sales records in Australia 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. 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. “Ross Wilson is one of Australia’s most celebrated musicians, and we’re thrilled to welcome him to Wangaratta as part of this milestone tour.” WPACC venue manager Tanya Camplin said. “With a catalogue of songs that have become part of the soundtrack to Australian life, this show offers audiences a rare opportunity to experience decades of iconic hits performed live by a true Australian music legend.” Joining the tour as special guest is acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter Gretta Ziller, whose unique blend of Americana, alt-country, folk and roots music has earned her widespread recognition across the country.
