Callea And Campbell Bring Elton And George To Life

In an unmissable celebration of two of music’s greatest icons, Anthony Callea and Tim Campbell are taking the stage together for a spectacular live national tour, featuring the timeless hits of Elton John and George Michael. The powerhouse duo will bring their electrifying energy to the Mackay Entertainment & Convention Centre (MECC) on Saturday 28 June.

Backed by their band, Callea and Campbell will take audiences on a musical journey through the songs that have defined generations. Known for their extraordinary vocal talent, charisma and chemistry, the two beloved performers are set to breathe new life into the iconic pop anthems of Elton and George.

The tour follows a string of sold-out performances at Melbourne’s Hamer Hall and the Sydney Opera House, where the pair shared the stage with John Foreman and the Australian Pops Orchestra. After an outpouring of requests from fans across the country, Anthony and Tim knew they had to hit the road again.

“Going on tour with our band to continue this amazing journey is so exciting,” said Anthony and Tim. “We have been blown away by the reaction to our Hamer Hall and Sydney Opera House shows, and with countless messages on our socials asking us to bring the show to more cities and towns around the country, we decided to take it on the road. We can’t wait to bring the musical genius, fun and good times to as many parts of Australia as possible.”

Paying tribute to George Michael’s magnetic stage presence and Elton John’s high-energy theatricality, the show promises an uplifting and unforgettable live music experience.

Following the smash-hit success of their 2023 Up Close and Unpredictable tour — with 27 sold-out shows — Callea and Campbell are ready to once again wow fans with this heartfelt, high-energy celebration of two legendary artists.
