Get ready for a world-class tribute experience as Rob Caudill brings the unmistakable sound, look, and swagger of Rod Stewart to the stage.

Renowned worldwide for his uncanny resemblance and dead-on vocals, Rob Caudill doesn’t just perform Rod Stewart — he becomes him. From the iconic spiky blonde hair to the unmistakable rasp that defined a generation of rock anthems, this is as close as it gets. When Caudill hits the stage, the reaction is electric — sing-alongs, double takes, and pure nostalgia from the first note to the last.

For over 20 years, Caudill has toured globally as a headline performer with the world-famous Legends in Concert show out of Las Vegas, earning praise from music royalty along the way. Joe Walsh of The Eagles calls him “an impersonator that will make you do a double take,” while The Who’s John Entwistle says, “Rob’s voice and look are unbelievable — it’s like looking at Rod Stewart himself.”

Expect all the classic hits, delivered with energy, polish, and absolute authenticity in a show that’s a must-see for Rod Stewart fans.

Exploring ambition and belonging, love and restlessness, loyalty and escape, the album is wrapped in worn-in country rock built on melody, muscle and storytelling rather than polish.
Released via ABC Music, Midnight Mavericks debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA Australian Country Albums Chart, marking a defining moment in the band’s evolution and firmly establishing Kingswood among Australia’s leading contemporary country-rock acts.

The album has already generated major momentum with acclaimed singles “Lovin’ A Girl”, “Last First Kiss” and “Highway Signs”, earning consecutive radio adds, strong national and international DSP playlisting, Triple M Country and Triple M main network rotation, a breakthrough on the Countrytown Top 50, and international recognition from the CMA board in Nashville alongside significant US playlist support.
Kingswood’s creative evolution has forged a new partnership with ABC Music, who have been “blown away by the new material and work ethic,” while endorsements from US artist Kip Moore — who personally selected the band to support his Australian tour — and national touring alongside Counting Crows further underline the calibre of the record.

Renowned for their powerful live performances, Kingswood continue to build momentum on stages across the country with appearances at major festivals including Gympie Music Muster, Savannah in the Round and The Bend Classic, alongside their extensive national Midnight Mavericks Album Tour.

Multi-Platinum and Gold ARIA-certified, ARIA-nominated and four-time Golden Guitar nominees, Kingswood have built a reputation as one of Australia’s most compelling live acts, seamlessly blending heartland rock, country soul and timeless storytelling.

Mature, intentional and confidently delivered, Midnight Mavericks captures Kingswood operating at full force — a cohesive, purpose-driven album built for bigger stages, long roads and repeat listens.

Not chasing the spotlight but earning it, Kingswood’s next chapter has arrived.

In 2026, the punk rock trio are ready to tour their hit-loaded setlist including new tracks from the ‘I Only Trust Rock n Roll’ album, plus the full swag of hits that made them household names over the last three decades – ‘White Noise’, ‘Roll On’, ‘Who’s Gonna Save Us’, ‘All Torn Down’, ‘Second Solution’, ‘Prisoner of Society’ and more.

It’s been said that young people don’t know how to communicate anymore. DICE exists to respond to that idea. Comprising of Ben Hodge, Tom King, Regan Beazley, and Sam Barrett-Lennard, the Perth-based four-piece makes music for authentic connection. For movement, for feeling, and for being present. These are songs that push you to run outside and be a kid again, to fall in love, dance in your kitchen, take a spontaneous trip with mates, jump into a river, or lie in the grass doing nothing at all. This mission has resonated far beyond their Western Australian roots. Since the 2024 release of their ARIA-charting debut album Midnight Zoo, DICE has transformed from local indie-rock darlings into a high-velocity global export. Following the critical acclaim of their debut, the band spent 2025 cementing their status as a premier live act and evolving their sound with the release of the WINGS EP.

Their massive 2025 World Tour saw the group move into larger venues, turning the pressures of early adulthood into bright, liberating anthems for sold-out crowds in London, New York, Toronto, Bristol, Denver, Amsterdam, and Sydney. Having maintained a position on triple j’s Most Played Artists list for three consecutive years, DICE continues to build momentum with an unwavering life’s too short philosophy. Following the success of ‘Chasing Hearts’, ‘Alter Ego’, and the euphoric ‘Hourglass’, the band has spent the last year recalibrating their sonic DNA.

Now, DICE enters 2026 with their latest single, ‘COOLER.’ Recorded at the legendary EastWest

Studios in Los Angeles alongside Grammy-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Strokes, The White Stripes), the track represents a total evolution for the band. It is a blissful, lighter, and euphoric world that bridges the gap between their raw garage-rock energy and a new, sophisticated pop-rock refinement.

By working with Chiccarelli to move past the bones of the song, experimenting with abstract layering and punchy synths, the band brought in Jay Watson (POND, Tame Impala, GUM) to add his signature melodic depth and texture on keys. The result is a high-fidelity invitation back to those fleeting moments of freedom and possibility.

DICE creates the soundtrack to experiences you’ll feel nostalgic for before they’ve even happened. As they continue to fly at their own altitude, ‘COOLER’ marks the beginning of their most ambitious chapter yet, a year defined by major milestones and a bold new vision that is only just beginning to unfold.

Featuring an incredible lineup of local and touring artists, this is a celebration of music, community and good times in the heart of Mackay.

Having maintained a position on triple j’s Most Played Artists list for three consecutive years, DICE continues to build momentum with an unwavering life’s too short philosophy. Following the success of ‘Chasing Hearts’, ‘Alter Ego’, and the euphoric ‘Hourglass’, the band has spent the last year recalibrating their sonic DNA.

Now, DICE enters 2026 with their latest single, ‘COOLER.’ Recorded at the legendary EastWest Studios in Los Angeles alongside Grammy-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Strokes, The White Stripes), the track represents a total evolution for the band. It is a blissful, lighter, and euphoric world that bridges the gap between their raw garage-rock energy and a new, sophisticated pop-rock refinement.

By working with Chiccarelli to move past the bones of the song, experimenting with abstract layering and punchy synths, the band brought in Jay Watson (POND, Tame Impala, GUM) to add his signature melodic depth and texture on keys. The result is a high-fidelity invitation back to those fleeting moments of freedom and possibility.

DICE creates the soundtrack to experiences you’ll feel nostalgic for before they’ve even happened. As they continue to fly at their own altitude, ‘COOLER’ marks the beginning of their most ambitious chapter yet, a year defined by major milestones and a bold new vision that is only just beginning to unfold.
