Dellacoma Rio And INXS Revived To Return To Their Second Home

Airlie Beach has become a second home for rock performer Dellacoma Rio, celebrated for his high-energy tribute shows and as the frontman for the INXS Revived band.

The acclaimed artist has developed a devoted fan base at the Airlie Beach Hotel and is once again returning on Saturday 20 September, and Sunday 21 September, from 2 pm to 5:30 pm.

The shows promises to be a powerful celebration of both Michael Hutchence and the iconic INXS catalogue but also aims to recreate the band’s legendary live energy. Fans can expect a performance full of charisma and daring stage antics. Rio’s reputation for showmanship includes running into the crowd and even singing while hanging upside down from a tree, adding unforgettable moments to each concert.

Born in the United States and raised in Tasmania, Dellacoma Rio brings a wealth of performance experience, including live theatre and television work from his university years in Los Angeles. He launched his solo rock band career in 2014 and has since released two albums, Dead Will Rise and Blood, cementing his place in the Australian rock scene. While many of his performances take place in large venues such as convention centres and concert halls, Rio has a special fondness for the Airlie Beach Hotel, calling it the only hotel he performs at.

Rio’s dedication to live music is evident in every performance, where he seeks to create high-energy, shared experiences that resonate with audiences long after the final note.

The upcoming performance is set to rock the roof off the Airlie Beach Hotel. With much loved classics, an extremely enthusiastic performer, and awesome guitar riffs, the INXS Revived performance is show that cannot be missed.

WHEN: Saturday 20 September & Sunday 21 September (2pm - 5.30pm)
