Ross Wilson & The Peaceniks

2026 marks an extraordinary milestone for Australian music icon Ross Wilson, celebrating over 50 years as a recording artist. To honour this legacy, Wilson brings a special anniversary performance showcasing the songs, stories and sounds that have defined generations of Australian rock.

From the explosive arrival of Daddy Cool in the early ’70s — whose debut album Daddy Who? and anthem Eagle Rock shattered sales records — through to the chart-dominating era of Mondo Rock, Wilson’s influence on the Australian music landscape is unmatched. Hits like Cool World, State of the Heart, Chemistry, No Time and Come Said The Boy remain embedded in the country’s musical DNA.

A two-time inductee into the ARIA Hall of Fame, Wilson’s career spans not only his own success as a performer and songwriter, but also his work behind the scenes producing and shaping some of Australia’s most iconic acts. With no less than 26 ARIA Top 40 hits to his name, his catalogue continues to resonate across generations and genres.

This special anniversary show will see Wilson revisit the songs that made him a household name, alongside deeper cuts and stories from a career that has shaped the sound of Australian rock for over five decades.
