Power And The Passion, Pleasure And Pain At The Pub

The King Of The Mountain is about to become the King Of The Coast when an all-star tribute to some of Australia’s top rock bands arrives at the Airlie Beach Hotel in October.

In the “ultimate Saturday Session rock out”, three legendary Aussie bands will star in one epic afternoon show. The Angels, Divinyls, and Midnight Oil Tribute Show will rock out to the sound of Oz anthems of the eighties at The Pub.

Three of the most energetic and dynamic rock bands ever to grace the live stage will be mashed together in this free show of hits galore.

From ‘Beds are Burning’ to ‘Blue Sky Mine’ and everything else in between, you can expect the Oils’ full repertoire of Australian classics.

Then, get ready to ‘Touch Yourself’ and rage with the ‘Boys in Town’ for a little trip into the world of ‘Science Fiction’ with Chrissy and the Divinyls.

But there’s no chance to take a break because the day will wrap up with a nonstop trip into Aussie rock history with the incredible Angels.

Everything from ‘Take a Long Line’, ‘Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again’, and ‘Marseilles’, to ‘Coming Down’, ‘We Gotta Get Outta This Place’ and much, much more.

It’ll be like being transported to Blue Sky Mine, or back to when you grew up in the greatest era of Oz Rock. If you’ve wished you could travel back in time to see a band that wanted to knock your head off with great music, this is the show for you.

Airlie Beach audiences will be floored by the dynamic and expressive moves of this tribute that recaptures the prime performances of Garrett and the Oils, or the giant slabs of Aussie rock legends that are Doc Neesen and The Angels, and the incredible star power of Chrissy Amphlett fronting the Divinyls.

Each will take the bar-top stage in full costume (paired with theatrical performances) at The Pub for a weekend show that’ll have you singing along to the sounds of Australia’s rock roots.

It’s three legendary Oz bands for free at The Pub – what’s not to love? Don’t miss The Angels, Divinyls, and Midnight Oil Tribute Show when it rocks and rolls into Airlie Beach on October 15.
