“How exciting to be part of Live At The Gardens, on stage in Melbourne’s magnificent Royal Botanic Gardens. The RocKwiz team love playing new venues and from all reports, this is a wonderful addition to Melbourne’s music scene. The Gardens have always held a special magic for me … as a student I read Washington Square in one of the Rotundas, I learned lines for Let The Blood Run Free walking laps of the Ornamental Lake, saw Shakespeare productions there, took the children to see Wind In The Willows and regularly drop in for a Devonshire Tea at the cafe. I nearly had my frisbee confiscated when it landed amidst a group of tourists relaxing on rugs … I apologised and we had a few quick throws. To bring one of our big, bold, live RocKwiz shows to this sacred site is a real thrill. I look forward to making new, magical memories.”
Brian Nankervis
“The Botanic Gardens for me has always been a place of quiet reflection. A place bang in the middle of the city to escape to – whether it’s for walking, learning lines or working out a problem. So many times I’ve gone to the Gardens, kicked off my shoes and just laid down in the grass to recharge. So it will be a completely new, bold and exciting experience to rock the Botanic Gardens with RocKwiz. Shoes off!”
Julia Zemiro
Opening the show with a full-band set and getting the audience quiz-ready will be powerhouse Melbourne-based singer-songwriter WILSN. Possessing the kind of voice that stops you in your tracks, WILSN (aka Shannon Busch) makes classic soul music with a contemporary approach and a healthy dose of raw power that’s equal parts timeless and contemporary. With her 2023 acclaimed debut Those Days Are Over and recent single The Way, WILSN is fast cementing her place as one of Australia’s most compelling new artists.
From classic segments like Who Can It Be Now, Million Dollar Riff and the Furious Five to nostalgic crowd favourites like First Gig and First Album … and of course epic ensemble performances that close the night, RocKwiz Live in 25 is a raucous, feel-good ride for music lovers of all ages. Think you remember your first gig? Remember buying your first album? It might just win you a seat on stage.
“Looking around at all the smiling faces and dancing feet filing out of the theatre, one thing was perfectly clear – RocKwiz Live was undoubtedly worth the wait.”
The Music
