By the time John Lennon wrote Imagine, he had already reshaped popular music forever. A fearless creative force, he moved from the raw rock & roll of Twist and Shout to the psychedelic dreamscapes of Strawberry Fields Forever and the revolutionary grit of Come Together. His music was more than melody—it was protest, poetry, and a call to something bigger.
This July five electrifying Australian singer-songwriters— Adalita (Magic Dirt), Diesel, Steve Kilbey (The Church) Isabella Manfredi (The Preatures), and Kevin Mitchell (aka Bob Evans/Jebediah)—join forces to perform the songs that defined a generation. Backed by an all-star band, they will infuse energy and reverence to Lennon’s most iconic works, from the raw power of Instant Karma! to the intimate heartbreak of Jealous Guy.
Set in Australia’s most prestigious venues—including the Sydney Opera House, Hamer Hall, QPAC Concert Hall, and Adelaide Festival Theatre—this is more than a tribute. It’s a celebration of Lennon the songwriter, the radical, the dreamer.
