Conrad Sewell
September 28
After the success of his latest single ‘All Life Long’, Conrad Sewell announces new live shows for September 2024. Don’t miss your chance to see ARIA Award winning artist Conrad Sewell live in Bowral on his 2024 National Tour!
Conrad Sewell may have the down-to-earth candor of a pub singer, but his voice belongs in stadiums. “I still get butterflies just before going on,” Sewell says with a glint in his eye, his golden hair peeking under a wide-brimmed black hat. “It’s like jumping out of a plane. I love it.”
The acclaimed Brisbane-born singer and songwriter, 34, has been singing professionally since age 8, long enough to appreciate the affect his voice has on people. Case in point, 2015’s “Start Again,” a spare piano ballad showcasing Sewell’s powerhouse range, went to Number One in Australia from his debut studio album, LIFE.
The ARIA Award winning artist has spent most of this year writing and recording new works in Los Angeles, California and returns to Australia for some very special performances; playing all of his biggest hits along with giving fans some of his most exciting new music to date. These shows are not to be missed!
This show is 14 years +. All guests under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible guardian.

Ultimate Luke Combs Tribute
with Ross Webb & the Rusted Track
The idea for the show all stemmed from Ross’s garage ,whilst rehearsing with the boys,and we were all complaining about not being able to get tickets to any concert on Luke Combs 2023 Australian Tour.
Off the cuff Ross said lets put our own show together and see what happens. Ross Webb and his band The Rusted Track are all massive fans of Luke Combs’s music and were already covering some of his classic tunes in their show well before Ross came up with the idea of a tribute show.
Whilst the show is in its infancy it has sold out shows across Southern NSW already this year and due to the shows popularity the show will be heading interstate early in 2024. As momentum builds Ross and the boys hope to tour the show nationally.
The show covers the hits from Luke’s first hit Hurricane, through to Kinda Love We Make and others off his latest album which will have the crowd singing along from the first song to the last.
Since the show commenced in Aug 2023 it has sold out venues across NSW already this year and due to the shows popularity the show will be heading interstate early in 2024. As momentum builds Ross and the boys are looking to tour the show nationally.
Catch them in their home town!
