Overview

An extraordinary line up of Australian singers & musicians perform 32 John Lennon classics.

Get ready to experience the raw energy of “Come Together”, the heartfelt vulnerability of “Jealous Guy”, the timeless hope of “Imagine” and the pure rock ‘n’ roll spirit of “Help” – alongside beloved classics like “In My Life”, “Strawberry Fields Forever”, “All You Need Is Love”, and “Give Peace A Chance”.

Backed by an all-star band, five of Australia’s most electrifying singer-songwriters are joining forces to unleash the extraordinary musical world of John Lennon. Adalita (Magic Dirt), Diesel, Steve Kilbey (The Church), Isabella Manfredi (The Preatures), and Kevin Mitchell (aka Bob Evans/Jebediah) will dive deep into Lennon’s musical journey – from The Beatles’ revolutionary anthems to his most intimate solo masterpieces.

Don’t miss this electrifying celebration of Lennon the songwriter, the visionary.
