Much
loved by children and adults of all ages, Aladdin and his
adventures come to life here in a brilliant ballet production and
splendour of lush costumes, breathtaking music and beautiful choreography.
A
wonderful story of intense love, burning passion, and bold expression full
of fantasy and tragedy. Aladdin reminds us of the importance of
being who we are and the peace that comes from living our lives with truth
and honesty to the fullest.
Created by Michelle Cassar de Sierra
and Martin Sierra for the Victorian State Ballet, this production

by Carl Davis' score and their love of Scheherazade's story, the Sierras
produced this unique ballet that introduces additional magic when the
Genie of the Lamp appears from a cave of dancing jewels.

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).

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
unforgettable night of music and nostalgia.

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.
Echoes of Pink
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
national tours in 2014, their lovingly crafted performances have
captivated audiences nationwide, drawing praise such as "masterful,"
“absolute genius,” “spine-tingling,” and "absolutely
the best live musical trip any Floyd fan can go on," with
audiences likening their performance to that of the original band.

miss your chance to be part of history as Echoes of Pink Floyd
celebrate 60 years of Pink Floyd in style!

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
