Now Listen!  We're Steppin Out!  50 Years of Hits Tour

In the Summer of ‘23/24 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 - King Canyon

Jimmy Cupples (vox) and James Ryan (guitar) are the songwriting force that formed King Canyon in 2020, joined by Kit Riley (bass) and Haydn Meggitt (drums).

The impressive list of performance credits highlights the decades of experience and versatility between the four members: Robbie Williams, Vika & Linda, Ross Wilson, Tina Arena, Daryl Braithwaite, Jon Stevens, Vanessa Amorosi, Kate Ceberano, Richard Clapton…...

The band has released eight singles with their ninth track "Blacktop" released on 15 December 2023. Blacktop was produced, engineered, and mixed by Grammy Award winning producer Nick DiDia (Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Powderfinger, Train) at his studio in northern NSW in September 2023. The band's debut album is just around the corner.

They are currently on the road performing as ‘Zeppelin Unledded’ with an 11-piece lineup at theatres across Australia.
