After packing out two performances recently at Bluesfest, the beloved and cherished RocKwiz is returning to the road for a special series of live shows to celebrate 50 years of Mushroom Group.
The music trivia show that has enthralled fans for close to two decades, and co-presented by Julia Zemiro and Brian Nankervis alongside Dugald McAndrew and the RocKwiz OrKestra, will bring the live music-quiz feels to Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne this winter.Fans can expect the usual assortment of comedy, 'kwizzery', and musicality with a host of special guests from the Mushroom stable honouring five decades of iconic music.
"It is an honour to be part of Mushroom's 50th birthday celebrations," Julia says. "The stories of a 21-year-old Michael Gudinski starting this company are wonderful and have always held me in their thrall.
"RocKwiz Salutes Mushroom will take you on that journey with stories, tributes, and the power of some of the best music our country has produced."
Fans can expect a joyous celebration of all things Mushroom from the Sunbury years through to Skyhooks, Split Enz, Paul Kelly, Kylie Minogue, Jimmy Barnes and Vance Joy.
"Mushroom acts have been a constant source of inspiration for RocKwiz since we began," Brian says, "in terms of the questions we ask, or the artists that we feature. . . so to celebrate this iconic organisation is a thrill and an honour.
"My overflowing music collection, on singles, albums or CDs, is dominated by Mushroom acts who've been given the encouragement and support essential to continue lighting our lives and keeping us dancing. RocKwiz and Mushroom. . . rock & roll nirvana."
Tickets on sale from 12pm EST on 1 May.
