For the majority of us who missed out on seeing Led Zeppelin perform live overseas or during their only visit to Australia in 1972, this tribute event promises a little more than the local RSL.

“We are aiming to establish a community of people who appreciate the way we pay homage to iconic bands and performers. Our shows feature exceptionally talented contemporary performers revisiting and reworking classic music in great rooms, not mimicking or trying to recreate the music note for note,” says Classic Rock Series Music Director, Joseph Calderazzo.

The line-up of vocalists includes Dave Gleeson (Screaming Jets), Simon Meli (Ooh la la), Steve Balbi (Noiseworks), Natasha Stuart, Danny Marx-Young and Virginia Lillye, who will be joined by a 13-piece powerhouse band including the Sydney Lyric Strings ensemble. Calderazzo says he is looking forward to delivering: “A great rock show by some great local performers - with all the bells and whistles but with the honesty and intent that makes rock music what it is.”

A rock photography exhibition by Philip Morris (whose lense has
captured the immortal quartet plus Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan and AC/DC)
will also be held in the Enmore Theatre.
