About Ross Wilson:
Ross Wilson is heading to Fed Square with his all-star band The Peaceniks 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 six-decade career, tracks from his latest EP on Bloodlines Records She’s Stuck On Facebook All The Time, and everything in between.
From his role as co-founder and frontman of rock groups Daddy Cool and 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.
Daddy Cool’s number one anthem ‘Eagle Rock’ and debut album Daddy Who? smashed all previous sales records in Australia in 1971, while Mondo Rock delivered 80s classic hits ‘Cool World’, ‘State of The Heart’, ‘Chemistry’, ‘No Time’, and ‘Come Said The Boy’.
Wilson’s latest release as a solo performer, the 2023 EP 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.
