"Retro" tours for 2011-12

[CK]

Thought it worth starting a thread for details of older bands/artists coming to Adelaide, for those fans of the more retro stuff (yes, like me). Many of these are at Norwood Hotel.

Brian Cadd/Russell Morris - Norwood Hotel - June 30 and July 1

Stevie Nicks - Adelaide Entertainment Centre (AEC here on in) - November 23, through Ticketek

James Reyne - Norwood Hotel - October 8

Jon Stevens - Norwood Hotel - October 21

The Black Sorrows - Norwood Hotel - Thurs July 21 and Sat July 23

Diesel - Norwood Hotel - Friday September 16 and Saturday 17

First Glenn Shorrock, now Brian Cadd and Russell Morris ... must be heaven CK?

These acts are the real thing ...

[CK]

Wish I could get to Cadd/Morris, but have stuff on both nights

Add in 1927 at the Governor Hindmarsh - Thursday September 15

That's odd. His name is still on the venue-tix billboard thingy attached to the Thebby theatre. Oh well, saves me buying tickets I guess!

MEATLOAF is coming!

Double bill with Severed Heads it was too

[ORDoubleBlues]

Spectrum at Whitmore Hotel on 8th July.

$60 for seated 2 course meal or $25 for just ticket. Only 80 tickets are being sold.

If the last paragraph in this is correct, then very big news for Pink Floyd/Roger Waters fans - particularly after Adelaide was originally left off the schedule. Would surely have to be at Adelaide Oval if so:

Def Leppard and Heart playing at the Ent soon in a coupla months time .. Would love to go, but can't find any friends or family prepared to admit that they used to like these guys lol.

Choirboys on the bill also

Am thinking of going, but suspect there won't be much change from $150 per ticket on this one.

Yeah, I deliberately omitted the Choirboys so it wasn't even more embarrassing

Most of these WELL past-it tours are generally wallet milkers so I'd say you're on the money bud

[Dogwatcher]

$150....for that????

[JK]

Def Leppard and Heart were pretty massive back in their day (granted it was many ... many ... moons ago)

[CK]

$150....for that????

Fair point, DW.

It's not like it's Little River Band or anyone

Most people would choose "anyone" over the LRB

[CK]

Pfft. When LRB announce their next tour (if they ever do - Glenn Shorrock often gleefully announces that he "holds the key to that one" and is keeping the key close to him at present), I'll be first in line.

Probably one of the biggest retro tours from an Aussie band in years - saw them when they last played in 1998 and they were WELL worth it - Cold Chisel:
