The Australian Rock Collective (ARC) brings together four icons of Australian rock: Kram (Spiderbait), Darren Middleton (Powderfinger), Mark Wilson (Jet), and Davey Lane (You Am I). These legendary musicians have not only shaped the Australian rock scene but continue to inspire new generations with their electrifying performances.
With a combined 33 ARIA Awards, 16 Top 10 albums, and an ARIA Hall of Fame inductee (Jet), ARC is more than just a band—they’re a powerhouse of musical excellence. Having toured nationally and internationally for over 20 years, playing everything from intimate dive bars to massive stadiums, they’ve crafted some of Australia’s most iconic anthems.
ARC was born in 2014, when the four friends were invited to perform at the World Cup in Brazil. What started as a one-off gig quickly evolved into a tight-knit musical brotherhood, celebrating the very rock legacy they helped create.
Beyond their own chart-topping music, ARC delivers high-energy live performances of some of the greatest rock albums of all time. Fans have experienced unforgettable renditions of Abbey Road, Let It Be, Harvest, Dark Side of the Moon, and Led Zeppelin IV—all performed at Australia’s most prestigious venues.
Whether headlining major festivals or selling out concert halls, ARC offers a unique and immersive rock experience. Their passion for music, combined with their unmatched talent, makes every performance an unforgettable journey through rock history—by musicians who continue to shape it.
Local supergroup Australian Rock Collective (ARC) announces a new tour, performing Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon in theatres and concert halls across the country this August.
ARC is undoubtedly Australia’s most celebrated supergroup, with a combined 33 ARIA Awards and 16 Top Ten ARIA Albums. Comprised of four living legends in Australian rock music – Kram (Spiderbait), Darren Middleton (Powderfinger), Mark Wilson (Jet) and Davey Lane (You Am I) – they bring to the stage the rabid enthusiasm of friends who grew up as diehard music fans combined with the legacy, skills and experience of artists who have directly contributed to it.
“The records that informed our musical paths/obsessions/journeys curate our tours for themselves, really. Pink Floyd’s message and innovation of recorded sound are omnipresent and still resonate as much, if not more, in the present day. 2025 is the 50th anniversary of Wish You Were Here, and Dark Side of The Moon was a real highlight of the 6 tours we’ve done thus far – throwing ‘em together in the one show? A no-brainer. Stratocasters are set to stun, and the prism-shaped lighting rig is ready to roll.” – Davey Lane (You Am I)
The tour starts in Caloundra on Saturday, August 9, followed by Brisbane, Tweed Heads, Newcastle, Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne, before wrapping up in Perth on Saturday August 23.
