Arguably the best Elvis tribute artist since the great King himself, Max Pellicano is back on our shores with a brand new musical sensation: Follow That Dream – The Gospel According to Elvis; a rocking musical theatre production that had critics and fans alike dancing in the aisles during its first US run.

Elvis Presley, after his passing, reflects on an extraordinary life – from humble beginnings in Tupelo, Mississipi, to a life of excess in Las Vegas.

Employing visionary silhouette performance techniques, we are introduced to those who helped shape him into the King; from his parents to Priscilla and from the Colonel to Sam Phillips at Sun Studios. Featuring a talented cast and full live orchestra, this show is a must for lovers of the late, great, Elvis Presley.

Sweet is a success story that begins in 1970. When Brian Connolly and Mick Tucker left Wainwrights Gentlemen in 1968 to form their own band “Sweetshop”, later shortened to “The Sweet“, little did they know what lay ahead. They recruited Steve Priest on bass who was gaining a reputation with his band, The Army. After two guitarists, Frank Torpey and Mick Stewart and four singles which failed to make the charts the band were at a crossroads, almost at the point of splitting when Andy Scott, from The Elastic Band, joined. The year was 1970 and the “Classic” Sweet line up was complete.

Brian Connolly (the band’s original lead vocalist) had the good fortune to meet record producer Phil Wainman at the BBC, who had met a couple of songwriters, Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman - their songs needed a singer and eventually a band. The first Sweet single “Funny Funny” was among the original recordings and the rest as they say is history.

The band have gone on to sell over 55 million copies worldwide, record 34 Number 1 Hits worldwide that include the likes of ‘Ballroom Blitz‘, ‘Block Buster‘, ‘Hell Raiser‘ and ‘Fox on the Run‘. Sweet are still performing and touring, often to sell out crowds around the world!

Sweet will be supported by Almost Slayed, Australia’s Premier Slade Tribute Act!
