After a sellout tour in Europe and Ireland, Stewart and his band provide gutsy and arresting interpretations of Cohen's powerful works, framed by a personal narrative. The stories give an insight into Cohen's life and the motivations behind the songs, with a sprinkling of laconic humour.
Few bodies of musical work rouse, seduce and are of such great solace as that of the great singer songwriter Leonard Cohen. Soulful lyrics are laced with raw emotion and sheer se-ductiveness. D'Arrietta's arrangements add an uplifting, upbeat feel.
For two decades, Stewart D'Arrietta and his collaborators have brought their own musical personality to the works of great songwriters, including Tom Waits, John Lennon and Randy Newman, and have received praise for shows in Australia and overseas.
My Leonard Cohen was the toast of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2016 and 2017, with sold out shows and rave reviews from critics and fans alike.
Expect Cohen's best, including the heartrending Suzanne, the iconic Tower Of Song, the desperately sensual I'm Your Man, and the mournful, but mighty Hallelujah - all delivered as you've never heard them before.

Mischa Maisky, the only cellist in the world to have studied under both Mstislav Rostropovich and Gregor Piatigorsky, carries forward an incredible musical legacy. Joined by Lily Maisky on piano, this father-daughter pairing offers Australian audiences a rare opportunity to witness two world-class virtuosos live in concert.

New Zealand's Katchafire are teaming up with Hawaii's Mike Love for their 2026 Australian Tour dates, along with a collaboration on their 'Sensimillia' single for the Revival 2.0 Guest Edition album.
Mike will open each show with his own solo set, a powerful one-man-band performance built entirely live. Armed with guitar, keyboard, melodica and a pedalboard loaded with loopers, he layers bass lines, beatboxed rhythms and harmonies in real time, with nothing pre-recorded. His sound reaches beyond roots reggae too - folding in rock, soul, blues, folk and hip hop into what he calls his own revolutionary consciousness music.
Enter the Temple of Desire, an imaginary sanctum that invites you to indulge in the spiritual and the sensual all at once.

Temple of Desire was the Winner of the Melbourne Fringe Director's Choice Award and nominated for Outstanding Choreography at the Green Room awards. Stick around after the show, as they roll into Temple of Desire: The Party. Their DJ will spin the decks in one final uplifting celebration of histories, futures, dreams and desires.
