ARC presents Pink Floyd

Sunday 17 August
7.30pm

Supergroup Australian Rock Collective (ARC) have announced a new tour, performing Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon in theatres and concert halls across the country this August.

Comprised of four living legends in Australian rock music – Kram (Spiderbait), Darren Middleton (Powderfinger), Mark Wilson (Jet) and Davey Lane (You Am I) – ARC bring the rabid enthusiasm of friends who grew up as diehard rock music fans combined with the legacy, skills and experience of musicians who have directly contributed to it.

One of the most celebrated and successful supergroups in Australia’s rock history, with a combined 33 ARIA Awards and 16 Top Ten ARIA albums, the tour heads to Canberra in August.

Few musicians are as qualified to call themselves the Australian Rock Collective.

Comprised of four living legends of Australian rock music – Kram (Spiderbait), Darren Middleton (Powderfinger), Mark Wilson (Jet) and Davey Lane (You Am I) – ARC bring not just the rabid enthusiasm of friends who grew up as diehard fans of rock music and its legacy, but the chops, skills and experience of musicians who have directly contributed to it.

Between them ARC can count 33 ARIA Awards, 16 Top Ten albums, and an ARIA Hall of Famer in Jet. Throw in over 20+ years of heavy international and national touring, sold out shows spanning tiny dive bars to football stadiums, songs that have virtually become national anthems, and collectively ARC can claim several lifetimes worth of sustained musical excellence.

ARC formed in 2014 when, on a whim, the four friends were asked to perform at the World Cup in Brazil. Since that baptism of fire, the group have forged a tight-knit musical kinship as unique as the careers that made them so successful in their own right.

As well as regularly playing festivals and events the nation over, ARC regularly draw from their earliest inspirations to present classic albums at some of the most prestigious venues in Australia. ARC’s lively presentation of modern rock touchstones such as Abbey Road, Let It Be, Harvest, Dark Side Of The Moon and Led Zeppelin IV – even while continuing to make records and undertake extensive tours with their own bands – give audiences a genuinely powerful experience: an unmatched insight into this music that resonates through generations, by four musicians who continue to make and contribute to it themselves.

This is music played for music fans, by music fans.
