The Mushroom Group has announced the details of a hotly anticipated Mushroom 50 Live concert to take place at Rod Laver Arena on Sunday 26 November.
The concert is being held to bookend a huge year of celebrations for Mushroom as it celebrates its 50th anniversary as a music company.
The one-off concert will feature more than 20 artists performing 50 songs for 50 years. This will include a mix of both original and classic songs selected from the Mushroom catalogue.
In a statement, the Mushroom Group Chief Executive Matt Gudinski said:
“This is going to be an incredible once-in-a-lifetime night, to commemorate fifty years of great Mushroom music and Australian talent.
The Mushroom family is determined to bring together a special evening for all involved. With more than twenty artists performing as part of the event, this will be a true celebration of Australian music and a showcase our thriving local music scene and its history. I know my late father would be very proud of what we are putting together.”
