ABOUT THE ARTISTS

CHEAP TRICK

With over 5,000 performances spanning four decades, 20 million records sold worldwide, and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cheap Trick are undoubtedly one of the most influential classic rock groups of the past 50 years.

The band was formed in 1974 and while it has evolved throughout the years, Cheap Trick has continued to reach mainstream and critical success.

Hits such as "I Want You To Want Me," "Dream Police," and "Surrender" have cemented the group as one of America's top rock 'n' roll bands of all time.

In early 2021, Cheap Trick released their 20th studio album, In Another World to rave reviews.

BUSH

Bush have been a mainstay on Australian radios since the release of their debut album Sixteen Stone in 1994.

The album was an instant smash spending 43 weeks in the Australian Top 50, peaking at #5.

In 2019, BUSH came roaring back with the track Bullet Holes which is featured as the end title on the soundtrack to the Hollywood blockbuster John Wick 3 Parabellum.

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS

One of the biggest rock acts of the 1990's with over 50 million albums sold, Stone Temple Pilots broke out of the scene they helped to define into bonafide superstars.

Stone Temple Pilots are reborn and writing the next chapter of their storied career, with their seventh studio album, Stone Temple Pilots (2018), their first with new lead singer, Jeff Gutt.

BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB

The ultimate road dogs, BRMC harness pure garage punk energy and mix in rolling riffs and dirge-laden rhythms to shake you to the core.

Their self titled debut album turned 20 this year and for the past two decades through nine studio albums, BRMC have been at forefront of the psych-indie rock resurgence.
