Superstar singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks will return to Australia for an exclusive run of her 24 Karat Gold shows this November, with a performance for a day on the green at Sirromet Wines, Mt Cotton on Sunday, November 12.
Joining Stevie for these special concerts are the legendary pretenders, fronted by Chrissie Hynde.
Nicks, a multi-platinum selling artist dubbed “the reigning queen of rock and roll” by Rolling Stone magazine has had six Top 10 albums and eight Grammy nominations. Her timeless classics include the iconic Nicks-penned Landslide, Gold Dust Woman, Rhiannon, Edge Of 17 and Gypsy.
Stevie’s 2014 album, 24 Karat Gold – Songs From The Vault, debuted at number 7 on Billboard’s Top 200. As a member of Fleetwood Mac, Stevie performed 122 sold-out shows around the world during 2014-2015 and sold more than 140 million albums and won several Grammys. Most recently, Stevie completed a sold-out solo tour of the US with Pretenders, which received rave reviews.
“It’s been thrilling to get on stage each night and sing some of my gems from early in my career, along with getting the chance to sing the material from my last two albums, In Your Dreams and 24 Karat Gold – Songs From The Vault,” Stevie says.
Pretenders cross the bridge between punk, new wave and Top 40 pop music with unparalleled style and with hit songs like Brass In Pocket, I’ll Stand By You, Back On The Chain Gang and Don’t Get Me Wrong.
The band has sold in excess of 25 million albums and founder and leader Chrissie Hynde is one of contemporary music’s greatest songwriters. Chrissie most recently released the album Stockholm and a 2015 memoir, Reckless: My Life As A Pretender.
Suitably for an event celebrating two iconic female trailblazers, the bill will also feature Melbourne-based Ali Barter’s first album, A Suitable Girl, debuted at number 17 on the ARIA charts, and featured Ali’s breakout single, Girlie Bits.
A day on the green is a fully licensed event. Tickets are from $109.90 to $249.90 and can be booked on .ticketmaster.com.au, 136 100.
