Due to overwhelming popular demand, Ross Wilson’s 50 Years of Hits Tour, which kicked off in 2023, has extended into 2025 and, with the addition of a new show on May 24th in Geelong and three shows in outer suburban Sydney and Wollongong in July, now totals over 150 shows!
With 2025 marking an almost unbelievable 60 years since his first local Melbourne hit single “Louie Louie” by his first band The Pink Finks, Wilson and his all-star band The Peaceniks continue touring relentlessly to celebrate over 50 Years of Hits including all the Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock favourites you’d expect along with the latest offering from an almost 6 decade career, tracks from his latest EP on Bloodlines Records She’s Stuck On Facebook All The Time, and everything in between.
From Daddy Cool to Mondo Rock and as a solo artist with no less than 26 ARIA Top 40 hits to his credit as a singer, songwriter and producer, Ross Wilson is one of Australia’s most awarded, respected and well-known artists! From the legendary band Daddy Cool whose number one anthem “Eagle Rock” and debut album Daddy Who? smashed all previous sales records in Australia in 1971, to the 1977 formation of Mondo Rock, delivering 80’s hits “Cool World”, “State of The Heart”, “Chemistry”, “No Time”, and “Come Said The Boy” and into the 21st century as a solo performer, Wilson has never been out of the limelight. His latest release in 2023 “She’s Stuck On Facebook All The Time” is a modern-day tragicomedy in the blues genre. Twice inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, Wilson’s live performances are legendary.
