A special concert event arriving this July will celebrate one of the most influential collections of music ever created, with the Great Australian Songbook live set to tour nationally. The production brings together some of the country’s most recognisable voices to honour the songs that have shaped Australia’s identity, memories and shared cultural history.
The show features four rotating lead singers performing alongside a world-class live band, delivering fresh interpretations of much-loved Australian classics. The lineup includes Christine Anu, Kav Temperley, Shannon Noll and Isabella Manfredi, with musical direction by Ben Fletcher. Each artist brings their own style and musical background, creating a dynamic live experience that moves across generations and genres.
Victorian performances will be at Costa Hall in Geelong on Saturday 25 July 2026 and the Palais Theatre in St Kilda on Sunday 26 July 2026.
Audiences can expect an evening steeped in nostalgia and energy, revisiting songs that have become part of everyday life in Australia. These are tracks that have soundtracked road trips, celebrations and defining moments, continuing to resonate decades after their release.
Christine Anu brings her unmistakable voice and decades-long career across music, theatre and screen, while Kav Temperley draws on his legacy as frontman of Eskimo Joe and his acclaimed songwriting career. Shannon Noll adds the unmistakable presence of one of Australia’s most enduring pop and rock performers, known for his powerful live shows. Isabella Manfredi rounds out the lineup with her commanding vocal style and reputation as one of the country’s most compelling contemporary rock artists.
More than a concert, Great Australian Songbook live is a celebration of the music that continues to connect Australians across generations. For fans of local music history and live performance, this July event offers a rare chance to experience these songs brought together on one stage.
