Kicking off in 2023, the tour has been a non-stop celebration of one of Australia’s most iconic musical careers. And now, with fresh dates just added — including May 24 in Geelong, plus three new stops across outer Sydney and Wollongong this July — Wilson and his all-star band The Peaceniks are showing no signs of slowing down.

2025 will also mark 60 years since Wilson’s first local hit with “Louie Louie” as part of The Pink Finks. From there, he skyrocketed into Aussie rock royalty — from Daddy Cool (hello, Eagle Rock) to Mondo Rock (who didn’t belt out Come Said The Boy in the car?), and then into a solo career that’s delivered no less than 26 ARIA Top 40 hits.

Still packing out venues, Wilson’s setlist is a greatest hits parade — Cool World, State of the Heart, Chemistry, plus tracks from his recent bluesy EP She’s Stuck On Facebook All The Time (a modern classic for the digital age).

Two-time ARIA Hall of Fame inductee. Six decades of music. Over 150 shows. And he’s still steppin’ out.

Tickets are moving fast — catch a living legend while you can!
