Saturday July 25 2026 | The Espy, St Kilda
On Saturday, July 25, 2026, Australia’s indie Soul Icons, Grand WaZoo return to the band's spiritual home with a special 'St Kilda HOMETOWN REUNION Party' at the iconic Esplanade Hotel.
Founded in St Kilda in 1981 by former Kush trumpeter + arranger, John Montesante, Grand WaZoo emerged from the suburb’s vibrant live-music culture and quickly established itself as Australia’s most authentic, respected and enduring Soul ensemble. More than four decades on, and still led by Montesante - for whom St Kilda remains home - the band continues to deliver matchless performances that honour the golden legacy of Soul, while thrilling contemporary audiences.
Renowned for its knockout 13+ piece line-up, Grand WaZoo features dynamic Vocalists, an exceptional horn section and rocking rhythm masters - steeped in the grooves of 1960s–70s Soul, Motown and R&B, with band originals in the mix. Back where it all began. One night. One hometown. One massive celebration. This special hometown show is more than a gig : it’s a reunion of music, memories and community, welcoming old friends, long-time fans and a whole new generation, discovering why this band has thrived for four and a half decades. Expect timeless songs, electric atmosphere, and that unmistakable feeling of being part of something bigger than the night itself.
If Grand WaZoo has ever been part of your life, or you love real Soul Music, 100% Live, this is the one you don’t want to miss.
For long-time fans and first-time listeners alike, this special Espy show promises a high-energy, feel-good celebration of authentic Soul, replete with passion, precision and unmistakable heart.
