Australian Rock Collective announce a major national tour today, performing Eagles’ legendary Hotel California album in full for audiences across Australia this June. Their new production also features a powerful selection of the band’s greatest hits, offering fans an unforgettable celebration of timeless song writing. ARC continue expanding their reputation for ambitious live recreations of classic albums performed with passion, precision and unmistakable Australian character.
ARC remain Australia’s most celebrated supergroup, boasting thirty‑three ARIA Awards and sixteen Top Ten ARIA Albums across their combined musical careers. The lineup includes Kram, Darren Middleton, Mark Wilson and Davey Lane, four iconic artists who helped shape Australian rock history. Together, they bring unmatched musicianship, deep camaraderie and the enthusiasm of lifelong music fans who grew up loving these classic records.
Davey Lane invites audiences to join ARC as they revisit the spirit of 1976 and the album’s sun‑drenched Californian atmosphere. He describes Hotel California as deceptively loose yet incredibly precise, presenting a thrilling musical challenge the group are excited to embrace. Lane reflects on ARC’s seven years touring major Australian venues and expresses excitement for their biggest tour yet. He even jokes about growing moustaches for authenticity, adding playful charm to the announcement.

The tour begins in Brunswick Heads on Friday 5 June, launching a national run that brings ARC’s ambitious production to multiple states. Afterwards, the group travel to Brisbane, Newcastle, Thirroul and Canberra, performing in some of Australia’s most beloved venues. The tour continues through Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide, offering fans across the country the chance to experience this remarkable show. Finally, ARC conclude the tour in Perth on Wednesday 24 June, closing the run with a powerful final performance.
Tickets go on sale Monday 16 March at 11am local time, giving fans the opportunity to secure seats early. With ARC’s reputation for exceptional musicianship and unforgettable live shows, demand is expected to be strong nationwide. Their previous tours consistently sold out, demonstrating the group’s ability to honour classic albums while delivering fresh energy. This new production promises another standout experience for audiences who appreciate masterful performances of iconic music.
