Andrew De Silva’s Royal Weekend Of Music

Hollywood glitz, glam and undeniable groove will hit the Airlie Beach Hotel on Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th of November for two stellar shows by Andrew De Silva.

A national treasure, Andrew De Silva has earned the title of one of Australia’s most accomplished and enduring voices in R&B and soul, leading him to accumulate an ARIA Award and a well-deserved place in Australian music history.

In 2012, Andrew captured the hearts of the nation when he was crowned winner of Australia’s Got Talent.

His commanding voice and dynamic stage presence have earned him the opportunity to perform alongside global superstars, supporting Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men during their Australian tours.

Before Australia’s Got Talent, Andrew co-created CDB, an Australian R&B, dance and vocal harmony quartet formed in 1991.

CDB, short for Central Dandenong Boys, rose to fame in the mid-1990s with their chart-topping R&B sound. Their biggest hit was a cover of Earth, Wind & Fire’s Let’s Groove, which reached number two on the ARIA Singles Chart and claimed the top spot in New Zealand. Another single, Hey Girl (This Is Our Time), also hit number one in New Zealand. The group released their debut studio album Glide with Me in November 1995 before disbanding in 1999.

Since his success on Australia’s Got Talent, Andrew’s solo career has soared to new heights, captivating the nation with his raw talent and heartfelt performances.

Andrew remains committed to his roots as a songwriter and producer, releasing chart-topping hits such as Coffee, Your Paradise, Into The Night and What’s Up What’s Down, which has reached over 400,000 international streams. In 2024, his album Lighthill Session reached number one on the Australian iTunes R&B charts, reaffirming his relevance and creative fire within the music industry and beyond.

“That voice is for the masses” – Brian McFadden

“That was absolutely brilliant” – Dannii Minogue

“You’re a true artist” – Todd McKenney

With all these accolades, it is now time for the Airlie Beach Hotel to hear Andrew’s electrifying voice. He has sold out venues across the country and will soon grace the stage right here in Airlie Beach.

In recent years, Andrew has been smashing it as a tribute artist. His Prince tribute has reached extraordinary heights, selling out venues nationwide.

In 2024, Andrew released his newest tribute act, his Dedication to George Michael.
At the Airlie Beach Hotel, Andrew will be performing both shows on consecutive days. Two days of unmissable soundtracks that will take you back to your youth.

Joining Andrew will be the widely celebrated Ultimate Party Funk Band, which will have guests movin’ and groovin’ to the sounds of the 70s, 80s and 90s across both electrifying performances.

With the dates set and the excitement building, you certainly do not want to miss this weekend of incredible talent at the Airlie Beach Hotel.
