Featuring special guests and the Mighty RocKwiz Orkestra, the show will be full of revolutionary hits and Kwiz questions from 1966 to 1970. All this late ‘60s goop will be held together by the incomparable Brian Nankervis.

As an added extra you can also visit the smash hit Revolutions: Records and Rebels exhibition at Melbourne Museum.

This event is general admission, with limited seating available. If you require a seated position or have any questions regarding venue accessibility, please contact our team at [email protected] or 13 11 02.
