Ross Wilson & The Peaceniks

Now Listen! We’re Steppin’ Out! - 50 Years Of Hits Tour  

Due to overwhelming popular demand Ross Wilson’s 50 Years of Hits Tour extends into 2027 and to over 277 shows making it the biggest tour of his incredible multi decade career!  

With a performing career spanning a mind boggling seven decades since his first local Melbourne hit single Louie Louie by his first band The Pink Finks in 1965, Wilson and his all-star band The Peaceniks continue touring relentlessly to celebrate over 50 Years of Hits including all the Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock favourites you’d expect along with his latest offerings from an incredible 6-decade career.  

From Daddy Cool to Mondo Rock and as a solo artist with no less than 26 ARIA Top 40 hits to his credit as a singer, songwriter and producer, Ross Wilson is one of Australia’s most awarded, respected, and well-known artists! From the legendary band Daddy Cool whose number one anthem Eagle Rock and debut album "Daddy Who?" smashed all previous sales records in Australia in 1971, to the 1977 formation of Mondo Rock, delivering 80’s hits ‘Cool World’, ‘State of The Heart’, ‘Chemistry’, ‘No Time’, and ‘Come Said The Boy’ and into the 21st century as a solo performer, Wilson has never been out of the limelight.  

Twice inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and 2025 ACE Awards “Original Music Performer of the Year” Winner, Wilson’s live performances are legendary.
