In a celebration of the Feast of Wire’s 20th anniversary, the band is set to mesmerise audiences with their extraordinary live performance on Saturday, February 17, marking the theatre’s foray into the realm of music events under its revamped historical roof.
Get ready to be transported back in time as the band takes the stage to perform Feast of Wire in its entirety, along with a generous serving of fan favourites. Adding to the evening’s allure is the support act by Melbourne singer-songwriter Al Matcott.

Joey Burns and John Convertino, the charismatic core of Calexico, have garnered a dedicated following for their genre-defying blend of Americana, cinema noir, desert jazz, TexMex tango, Latin rhythms, and French chansons throughout their illustrious career. While albums like The Black Light and Hot Rail elevated their star, it was Feast of Wire in 2004 that propelled them into the musical stratosphere.
Join the celebration of two decades of one of the greatest albums to grace our aural atmosphere and witness the return of Calexico to our Southern shores. In the process, uncover one of the Surf Coast’s best-kept secrets – the nostalgic Lorne Theatre.
Before immersing yourself in the musical feast, make a pitstop at the seaside tavern, The Clam, led by renowned chef David Moyle. Starting from 12 noon on Saturday, enjoy a leisurely drink or snack, accompanied by the melodic tunes of Sky High Trio (Mike Gurrieri, John Bailey, and Woody McDonald). And after Calexico’s performance, extend the festivities with Milo Eastwood, hosting one of his legendary parties until The Clam’s shell closes.
