Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Symphonic Gurus
29 January @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm AEDT

For the first time, iconic Australian rock band Hoodoo Gurus will perform with the full symphonic power of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in a one-night-only concert at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl.
This landmark event sees the Gurus’ classic catalogue — from What’s My Scene and Like Wow – Wipeout! to 1000 Miles Away — reimagined on an epic scale, with orchestral arrangements by Alex Turley bringing fresh energy and grandeur to the band’s much-loved hits.
Whether you’re an 80s tragic or a Gurus superfan, this is your night. Expect hit songs, overlooked treasures, and the awesome power of the Hoodoo Gurus accompanied by a full symphony orchestra.
