Based on the novel by Roald Dahl, James
and the Giant Peach follows the story of James Henry Trotter, a young
boy who is orphaned when his parents are eaten by a rhinoceros and is sent
to live with his cruel aunts, Spiker and Sponge. He dreams of a life away
from his miserable aunts when he one day encounters an Old Woman who
offers James a packet of magical “crocodile tongues.”
This
sparks James’ adventure, as the magic causes a peach, and other garden
critters, to grow to an enormous size. Late at night, he ventures into the
peach, where he meets some new friends, and together, they roll the peach
off a cliff and sail it across the Atlantic Ocean, bound for New York City
Join
James and his band of Insects on this magical journey. Fun for the whole
family, witness the magic this September School Holidays!

Mooney’s
gone country. Deep country. Dead Set Country. He likes the word
country because it’s got a rude word in it if you EMPHasise it properly.
Dead
Set Country is Lawrence’s brand new hit show that’s all about a city
boy gone bush. Roughed up by locals, mourning dead wombats, talking with
horses and having an abiding affair with a tractor - in short Mooney is Dead
Set Country.
Following on from the acclaim for his past three
shows Beauty, Embracing Your Limitations and Pigeonhole he’s
back with Dead Set Country. This time he’s covered in dust,
speaking slower and line dancing. It’s Clarkson’s Farm
meets Lawrence Mooney’s head-on collision with country Australia. “You’re
not from round here are ya mister?”
Lawrence Mooney is an
acclaimed stand-up comedian who across a thirty-year career has been
regarded by critics and fans as properly hilarious whether appearing as
himself, one of his many characters, live or on the tele. Lawrence has
toured the country with his best mates in the hit show The Comedians
and can be seen regularly on The Front Bar on Seven and The Back
Page on Fox Sports.

Helloooo!
It’s been a while. A LOT has changed. I have a wife, children, two
chickens and an axolotl. I’ve written jokes about all of it and practised
them daily in front of both the chickens and the axolotl. The animals have
only gotten healthier and more joyful with each retelling so now I’m ready
to say it in front of humans. Humans like YOU.
Please come (if you
want, no pressure).

bands of all time and celebrate 60 years of Pink Floyd's enduring legacy.
Iconic
British rock band, Pink Floyd left an indelible mark on the world,
inspiring generations with their ground-breaking soundscapes and
thought-provoking lyrics. 2025 marks the diamond anniversary of Pink
Floyd's inception, and to honour this milestone every era of Pink Floyd's
illustrious career will be celebrated in grand style in a brand-new
concert production by Australia’s own Echoes of Pink Floyd.
Echoes
of Pink Floyd will take audiences on a mesmerizing journey through six
decades of Pink Floyd's unparalleled musical legacy. From the psychedelic
sounds of the 1960s to the progressive rock masterpieces and
stadium-shaking anthems of their later years, this show will capture the

"This
show is a testament to the enduring impact of Pink Floyd's music,"

Paul Bindig (keyboards), Mark MacNab (rhythm and acoustic guitar), Matt
Goodluck (vocals), Will Byrne (Bass and vocals), Daniel Modica (keyboard
and saxophone) and Bree Gregory, Rossella Fanelli and Montana Sharp
(Backing Vocals).
Critics have hailed them as "the next best
thing to a genuine Floyd experience"" (Bendigo Weekly), "Australia’s
best Pink Floyd Tribute Act" (Eventalaide.com), and "a true
credit to the original musicians" (Rogue Inc - Perth). With an
unwavering dedication to faithfully replicate the sights and sounds of
Pink Floyd, Echoes of Pink Floyd meticulously synchronises their

Echoes of Pink Floyd as they pay tribute to one of the greatest
bands of all time and celebrate 60 years of Pink Floyd's enduring legacy.
Iconic
British rock band, Pink Floyd left an indelible mark on the world,
inspiring generations with their ground-breaking soundscapes and
thought-provoking lyrics. 2025 marks the diamond anniversary of Pink
Floyd's inception, and to honour this milestone every era of Pink Floyd's
illustrious career will be celebrated in grand style in a brand-new
concert production by Australia’s own Echoes of Pink Floyd.
Echoes
of Pink Floyd will take audiences on a mesmerizing journey through six
decades of Pink Floyd's unparalleled musical legacy. From the psychedelic
sounds of the 1960s to the progressive rock masterpieces and
stadium-shaking anthems of their later years, this show will capture the
true essence of Pink Floyd's evolution with precision and passion.
"This
show is a testament to the enduring impact of Pink Floyd's music,"
said lead guitarist Daniel Hunter. "For six decades, their innovative
sound and boundary-pushing creativity have captivated audiences around the
world. We're thrilled to bring dedicated Floyd fans together to celebrate
this milestone anniversary."
Echoes of Pink Floyd
stands as Australia’s foremost tribute dedicated to honouring the
legendary band's monumental legacy and has garnered widespread acclaim
across the country since its inception in 2009.

Floyd's line-up boasts seasoned musicians and ardent Pink Floyd
enthusiasts: Daniel Hunter (lead guitar), Jason Miller (drums and vocals),
Paul Bindig (keyboards), Mark MacNab (rhythm and acoustic guitar), Matt
Goodluck (vocals), Will Byrne (Bass and vocals), Daniel Modica (keyboard
and saxophone) and Bree Gregory, Rossella Fanelli and Montana Sharp
(Backing Vocals).
Critics have hailed them as "the next best
thing to a genuine Floyd experience"" (Bendigo Weekly), "Australia’s
best Pink Floyd Tribute Act" (Eventalaide.com), and "a true
credit to the original musicians" (Rogue Inc - Perth). With an
unwavering dedication to faithfully replicate the sights and sounds of
Pink Floyd, Echoes of Pink Floyd meticulously synchronises their
performances with spectacular visuals, offering an immersive experience
akin to attending a genuine Pink Floyd concert.
Since embarking on

Fifty years
on, Hotel California remains a cornerstone of classic rock — an iconic
album that defined a generation and cemented the Eagles as rock legends.
In 2026, The Australian Eagles Show, Australia’s premier tribute to
the Eagles’ unforgettable sound, honours the milestone live in concert.
The
show’s first set will see the band performing the Hotel California album
in its entirety, followed by the second set of all the other Eagles
classic hits.
Renowned for their pitch-perfect harmonies and
masterful musicianship, The Australian Eagles Show is fronted by the
supremely talented Michael Thompson and Shayne Browne.
Backed by a powerhouse five-piece band, the show brings to life the
legendary sounds that have captivated audiences for five decades.
Audiences
can expect faithful recreations of timeless classics like 'Desperado',
'New Kid in Town', 'Life in the Fast Lane', and, of course, the
Grammy-winning epic 'Hotel California'. This tour also honours the solo
hits of Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and the late Glenn Frey,
offering a full-bodied tribute to the band’s enduring legacy.
Formed
in Los Angeles in 1971, the Eagles are one of the best-selling bands of
all time, with more than 150 million albums sold worldwide, six
number-one albums, and six Grammy Awards. Their Greatest Hits
(1971–1975) remains one of the best-selling albums of the 20th
century, while Hotel California, released in December 1976, is
widely regarded as one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded.
The
Australian Eagles Show doesn’t just perform the songs — they channel
the spirit of the original band, delivering an authentic concert
experience that continues to wow fans across Australia and beyond.
Whether
you're a lifelong fan or discovering the Eagles for the first time, this
50th-anniversary celebration of Hotel California is an
