AUSTRALIAN CONCERTS

AUSTRALIAN CONCERT TOURS

1950–1979

COMPILED BY MICHAEL DE LOOPER

INTRODUCTION

THIS WORK SETS OUT TO LIST THE CONCERT ITINERARIES OF OVERSEAS PERFORMERS WHO TOURED AUSTRALIA DURING THE

1950’S, 1960’S AND 1970’S.

ITS SCOPE, BROADLY, IS POPULAR MUSIC—POP AND ROCK ACTS, AS WELL AS JAZZ AND FOLK ARTISTS. CLASSICAL MUSIC,

HOWEVER, IS LARGELY ABSENT.

INFORMATION SOURCES INCLUDE NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES OF THE DAY, AND FAN WEBSITES.

THE RESULTS GIVE A FASCINATING INSIGHT INTO THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF POST-WAR POP CULTURE IN AUSTRALIA.

THIS IS WORK-IN-PROGRESS. THE 1950’S ARE FAIRLY COMPLETE, BUT THE 1960’S AND 1970’S STILL NEED FURTHER

RESEARCH—WITH SYDNEY AND MELBOURNE IN A REASONABLE STATE, AND OTHER CAPITAL CITIES LAGGING BEHIND.

MOST CHALLENGING OF ALL IS CONFIRMING DATES IN REGIONAL CENTRES, AS WELL AS THE INEVITABLE EXTRA CONCERTS,

CHANGES OF SCHEDULE AND LAST-MINUTE CANCELLATIONS. IF YOU’D LIKE TO ASSIST, ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS WOULD

BE VERY WELCOME.

THANKS TO GARY AT NUGRAPE RECORDS (WWW.NUGRAPE.NET) FOR THE USE OF PROGRAM SCANS.

THANKS ALSO TO DON HUDSON, AND TO LUKE FENCE FOR HELPING WITH BRISBANE DATES.

MANY RARE AUSTRALIAN CONCERT PROGRAMS CAN BE FOUND AT THE WEBSITE OF THE MUSEUM OF APPLIED ARTS &

SCIENCES
