RocKwiz is thrilled to announce a special series of live shows to celebrate fifty years of Mushroom Group.
In collaboration with the Mushroom Group, RocKwiz Salutes Mushroom 50 will honour the massive songs of Australia’s greatest independent music company.
Julia Zemiro, Brian Nankervis, Dugald McAndrew, and the RocKwiz OrKestra will bring their unique brand of comedy, kwizzery, and musicality with a host of special guests from the Mushroom stable on the national tour to honour five decades of iconic music.
‘It is an honour to be part of Mushroom’s 50th birthday celebrations. The stories of a 21-year-old Michael Gudinski starting this company are wonderful and have always held me in their thrall. Rockwiz salutes Mushroom will take you on that journey with stories, tributes, and the power of some of the best music our country has produced,” said Julia.
Fans can expect a joyous celebration of all things Mushroom from the Sunbury years through to Skyhooks, Split Enz, Paul Kelly, Kylie Minogue, Jimmy Barnes and Vance Joy.
“Mushroom acts have been a constant source of inspiration for RocKwiz since we began … in terms of the questions we ask, or the artists that we feature … so to celebrate this iconic organisation is a thrill and an honour,” said Brian.
“My overflowing music collection, on singles, albums or CDs, is dominated by Mushroom acts who’ve been given the encouragement and support essential to continue lighting our lives and keeping us dancing. RocKwiz and Mushroom… rock and roll nirvana,” he continued.
Tickets are on sale Monday 1 May (12pm AEST) via Ticketmaster and Ticketek. RocKwiz members pre-sale starts Thursday 27 April (1pm AEST), while the venue and ticketing pre-sale kicks off Friday 28 April (1pm AEST).
