Rochford Winery Concerts

Rochford Winery is a well-known winery in the Yarra Valley, selling a range of red, white, and sparkling varieties.

TIMELESS SUMMER TOUR

TIMELESS LIVE proudly presents Timeless Summer Tour – a new summer concert series celebrating legendary musicians worldwide.

Making its debut in 2025, the inaugural concert series features BOY GEORGE OF CULTURE CLUB, BONNIE TYLER, TONY HADLEY EX SPANDAU BALLET and STARSHIP FEATURING MICKEY THOMAS and will tour three cities across Australia.

Boy George is a vibrant icon with an indelible mark on the pop and new wave genres. He rose to prominence as the lead vocalist of the band Culture Club, which he co-founded in 1981. The band’s debut album, Kissing to Be Clever, catapulted them to international fame with hit singles like Do You Really Want to Hurt Me and Time (Clock of the Heart). Throughout the 80s, Culture Club dominated charts worldwide with subsequent albums such as Colour by Numbers and Waking Up with the House on Fire, delivering memorable hits like Karma Chameleon and The War Song.

Bonnie Tyler is one of Wales’ best-known performers, achieving chart success worldwide. She is recognised for her distinctive husky voice and a long list of hit singles, including Total Eclipse of the Heart, It’s a Heartache, Holding Out for a Hero, Lost in France, More Than a Lover, Bitterblue and If I Sing You a Love Song. In her 50-year career, Bonnie has performed for audiences in countries worldwide, and she has enjoyed critical acclaim for her recent albums Rocks and Honey and Between The Earth and the Stars.

Tony Hadley (ex-Spandau Ballet) made his mark on the music industry as the soulful baritone voice of the iconic 80s band Spandau Ballet. Hailing from England, Hadley’s career with Spandau Ballet yielded numerous hits, including True, Gold, and Through the Barricades, which showcased his powerful vocals and the band’s unique blend of new wave and soul. True remains one of their biggest hits, reaching the top of the charts in multiple countries. Beyond Spandau Ballet, Tony Hadley has pursued a successful solo career, releasing albums and songs such as The State of Play and Talking to the Moon, which received critical acclaim.

Mickey Thomas is the owner of the soaring voice that propelled Starship through the 80s. He made his mark in 1976 as lead vocalist on the mega-hit Fooled Around And Fell In Love with The Elvin Bishop Band before joining Jefferson Starship as the lead vocalist in 1979, recording a string of hits including Jane, No Way Out, Find Your Way Back, Stranger, and Layin’ It on the Line. The group was renamed Starship in 1985 and went on to record three #1 hit songs, including We Built This City, Sara, and Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now, from the film Mannequin, which also was an Academy Award nominee. Their hit It’s Not Over ‘Til It’s Over became Major League Baseball’s theme in 1987.
