About this Event
ROSS WILSON & THE PEACENIKS
NOW LISTEN! WE’RE STEPPIN’ OUT! — 50 YEARS OF HITS
One of the great careers in Australian rock'n'roll comes to LIVE@ The Grand Room.
With a performing career spanning an extraordinary seven decades, Ross Wilson remains one of Australia's most awarded, respected and enduring performers.
Now, Ross and his all-star band The Peaceniks bring the hugely successful Now Listen! We’re Steppin’ Out! — 50 Years Of Hits Tour to The Grand Room for a very special Melbourne performance.
The tour itself has become a phenomenon — extending into 2027 and beyond 300 performances, making it the biggest tour of Ross Wilson's remarkable multi-decade career.
From Daddy Cool to Mondo Rock, through his solo career and beyond, Ross has amassed no fewer than 26 ARIA Top 40 hits as a singer, songwriter and producer.
And then there are the songs.
Eagle Rock. Come Said The Boy. Cool World. State Of The Heart. Chemistry. No Time.
Songs that filled Australian radios, dance floors and venues — and became part of the soundtrack of generations.
As frontman of Daddy Cool, Ross delivered the legendary number-one anthem Eagle Rock, while the band's debut album Daddy Who? Daddy Cool smashed Australian sales records in 1971.
Then came Mondo Rock, formed in 1977 and responsible for an extraordinary run of Australian hits throughout the following decade.
Twice inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and named the 2025 ACE Awards Original Music Performer of the Year, Ross Wilson's contribution to Australian music is extraordinary.
But this isn't simply a look back.
Ross Wilson & The Peaceniks remain a formidable live band, continuing to tour relentlessly and bringing more than 50 years of hits — alongside Ross's latest music — to audiences around Australia.
Now it's The Grand Room's turn.
Come for dinner. Stay for the hits. Experience an Australian rock'n'roll legend LIVE@.
