As it heads into its seventh year, one of Melbourne’s favourite one-day festivals One Electric Day is going national.
In an exciting coup for music-lovers, the all-Aussie rock festival, which has sold out annually since its inception, will also be heading to Launceston, Sydney, Brisbane and the Barossa in November and December this year.
Headlined by the incomparable John Farnham with special guests James Reyne, Jon Stevens, Vanessa Amorosi, The Black Sorrows, and a special reformation by Southern Sons, these are shows that no music fan should miss.
Considered one of the best male vocalists of all time – by both fans and fellow musicians – John Farnham has had an incredibly versatile career. His 1986 album 'Whispering Jack' was the first record to sell over a million copies in Australia and its chart topping single 'You’re The Voice' cemented the honey-toned solo artist as ‘the voice’ of the country.
James Reyne has been treading the boards in the rock halls of Australian music for decades. From his time fronting the legendary Australian Crawl through to his successful solo career, James’ music is part of Australian history.
From his Noiseworks days to fronting The Dead Daisies and INXS, Jon Stevens has made an indelible impact with his amazing vocals and also boasts an impressive solo catalogue.
Vanessa Amorosi’s recent return to the Australian stage has been embraced by audiences. Her debut album 'The Power' (2000) demonstrated Vanessa was a force to reckon with – it notched up six nominations at the ARIA awards
and saw her sing at the Sydney Olympics.
The Black Sorrows are another legendary band on the 2019 line-up. With unforgettable hits such as 'Harley & Rose', 'Dear Children', 'The Chosen Ones', 'Never Let Me Go' and 'Chained to the Wheel', The Black Sorrows have sold more than a million albums worldwide.
Reforming after 22 years, Southern Sons are back together for One Electric Day. In the 1990s their ARIA-nominated, self-titled debut album hit #5 on the charts and spawned smash-hits 'Heart In Danger', 'Hold Me In Your Arms', 'Always & Forever' and 'Waiting For That Train'.
