KENNY ROGERS & GLEN CAMPBELL
Grammy Legends and Country Superstars Kenny Rogers and Glen Campbell are heading Down Under for a sensational series of concerts from 10 – 29 August, kicking off with two dates in New Zealand then touring Australia coast to coast.
The Gambler and Rhinestone Cowboy will share the stage for seven extraordinary nights in Christchurch, Auckland, Sydney, Perth, Melbourne & Newcastle on an itinerary which includes solo shows for Kenny in Darwin, Gympie and in Adelaide with Special Guest Beccy Cole. Glen’s only solo performance on his “The Goodbye Tour” is in Brisbane with Very Special Guest Troy Cassar-Daley and the next generation of the Campbell clan, Instant People.
Kenny and Glen are much loved studio, stage and screen icons with accolades in abundance, including twelve Grammys, Academy of Country Music, CMA, People’s Choice and Lifetime Achievement Awards and over fifty classics are Top Ten hits across multiple genres -
The Gambler, Coward of the County, Reuben James, Lucille, Ruby Don’t Bring Your Love to Town, Lady, She Believes in Me, Islands in the Stream, We’ve Got Tonite, You Decorated My Life, Buy Me A Rose and Wichita Lineman, Gentle On My Mind, By The Time I Get To Phoenix, Rhinestone Cowboy, Galveston, Southern Nights, Country Boy (You've Got Your Feet In L.A.), Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife, Still Within The Sound Of My Voice and so much more.
Their illustrious careers have produced indelible catalogues filled with Diamond, Platinum and Gold album releases and songs earning recognition in the Grammy Hall of Fame, 200 Most Influential Country Albums List and Most Played Song of the Millenium.
A public disclosure was made last year that Glen was diagnosed with Alzheimers Disease. This has not affected his performances and the American tour is receiving excellent reviews.
You won’t want to miss a spectacular moment with these enduring legends, Kenny Rogers and Glen Campbell (on The Goodbye Tour) so Take Your Love to Town!
You can bet this will be a jam packed Southern Night of hits, magic and memories.
