New Kids On The Block are coming down under in August on their Full Service tour. They perform in Perth at Burswood Dome on Saturday 1 August 2009.
As fresh-faced teens in the 1980s, NKOTB shot to world wide superstardom as the first white boy band. They sold 80 million albums, broke teenage hearts everywhere and inspired a whole generation of young boy bands to follow in their footsteps.
After splitting in 1994, New Kids On The Block announced they were getting back together late last year and fans have gone wild.
About the tour, Joey McIntyre said “we’re still young, we’re still hot! Our fans are between 25 and 35 because they were really young then. They’re still very attractive – and very legal. So it’s going to be a girls’ night out. It’s going to be fun!”
Special guest is Wall of Soundz featuring Brian McFadden.
Tickets go on sale from Ticketek on Thursday 28 May.
After selling out his shows with WASO last year, Ben Lee returns to perform with the Western Australian Symphony Orchestra again on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 August 2009 at the Perth Concert Hall.
Performing hits including Cigarettes Will Kill You, Catch My Disease, We Are All In This Together and more from a career that is fast gaining world wide recognition, Ben Lee will amaze and inspire with his distinctive voice and witty banter.
Tickets on sale from BOCS for $70 or $80.
Door open 7.30pm.
Shannon Noll brings his In The Raw, “In Conversation & Acoustic” tour to Perth and performs at Burswood Theatre on Friday 21 August 2009.
Fans have enthusiastically embraced the intimate, two hour show, which is composed of three parts – an initial set of acoustic covers handpicked by Shannon, a question and answer session on stage with host Nick Bennett, which allows fans to throw questions at Shannon for his response, and a final set featuring acoustic variations of Shannon’s much-loved hits plus songs from his repertoire that are his own personal favourites.
Tickets on sale from Ticketek for $60 or $70.
Doors open 7.30pm.
Jimmy Barnes performs at Burswood Theatre on Saturday 1 August 2009.

AC/DC have announced their first Australian tour since 2001, and will play at Subiaco Oval in Perth on Saturday 6 March 2010.
AC/DC the greatest rock and roll band on the planet, who have sold over 200 million records worldwide, return home to Australia in February 2010 as part of the Black Ice World Tour. AC/DC will blast their way through each of the five major capital cities where they will appear at outdoor stadiums with one of the largest stage productions ever seen. The Australian tour comes on the back of the release of the hugely successful Black Ice album. Released on October 20, 2008 on Albert Productions and distributed by Sony Music, Black Ice sold close to 2 million copies globally in the first week of release and debuted at the number one spot in a staggering 29 countries.
Tickets for the show on 6 March 2010 go on sale on 25 May through Ticketmaster. There will be two ticket prices: $99 and $149.90.
Wolfmother is supporting AC/DC on this tour.
The other dates of the tour are:
Melbourne: 11 February
Sydney: 18 February
Brisbane: 25 February
Adelaide: 2 March
Seal performs at King’s Park on Friday 20 November 2009.
The singer with the soaring, husky baritone stole the hearts of music listeners around the world when he had hits with “Crazy” and “Kiss from a Rose”, but now the triple Grammy-winner has found a new home in a collection of soul classics.
Tickets on sale Friday 22 May through Ticketmaster.
Augie March perform at the Fly By Night in Fremantle on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 August.
For the past 13 years Melbourne band Augie March have achieved what very few bands, indeed artists in any field in Australia, can claim to have achieved. While steadily building a loyal and ferocious fan base, they have simultaneously sustained critical acclaim and commercial viability.
This year has seen the completion of two very successful and very different tours on the back of the release of their fourth LP “Watch Me Disappear”. The most recent, titled “On The Quiet” was a sellout, a rare presentation of the band stripped back and swinging, a revelation for many in the audience who perhaps had always heard the music but never realised it was 5 human beings with sticks and strings making it come about.
Special guests: Gareth Liddiard and Dan Luscombe from The Drones
Tickets on sale from Heatseeker and the Fly By Night for $35 + booking fee.
