“Bay City Rollers featuring Les McKeown, you were fantastic and brought so many wonderful memories back for so many people”Rock Club 40 (Sydney review)

"Let’s be the best that we can be. Let’s put on a show that they’re never going to forget and that’s my attitude every single night” -Les McKeown

The Rollers have enjoyed phenomenal success and sold a whopping 70 million albums. The teenage delirium they created was akin to Beatlemania. Their run of Aussie chart hits started in 1974 with Shang-A-Lang (a fan favourite to this day) reaching #28. In 1975 they scored a #1 Australian Hit with Bye, Bye Baby. They followed that up with a string of Top 10’s – Give A Little Love, Money Honey, Saturday Night, Rock and Roll Love Letter and I Only Wanna Be With You. They also did a smashing cover of John Paul Young’s Yesterdays Hero.

This is your chance to re-live treasured moments and create new memories with your tartan-clad hero Les McKeown and his Bay City Rollers. Don't miss this opportunity to be a part of another chapter in Rollermania history!

‘For those unable to go to a gig and feel in their element, Bay City Rollers gave their generation an opportunity to reunite and take over the venue. Just like the good old times” The Music (Adelaide review)
