Music Notes

September 10, 2006 12:00am

 

LEE Kernaghan will be joined by sister Tania Kernaghan and the McClymonts for a series of big Queensland shows.

 

On Thursday night he'll front up at a venue he used to own – Rockhampton's Great Western Hotel – followed by the Townsville Entertainment Centre (Friday), Longreach Hall of Fame for a special R. M. Williams event on Saturday, and Canelands Park Sound Shell in Mackay on Sunday. Lee's new album The New Bush is rapidly heading to platinum.

Plant for Blues Fest

 

EARLY-bird tickets for the 2007 East Coast Blues Festival go on sale tomorrow and I can exclusively confirm that one of next year's headliners will be the one and only Robert Plant, the finest exponent of the traditional male vocalist school. There could even be an outdoor splash in Brisbane by the former frontman of Led Zeppelin, which Rolling Stone mag describes as "the heaviest band of all time" in a cover story in the October issue. Close to being confirmed are the likes of Bo Diddley, Solomon Burke, John Butler and Xavier Rudd.

 

Prince in 2007

 

We're inundated with hot tour rumours at present. Here's a handful with a ring of truth, according to our inside advisers. Don't rule out a Prince "retire-the-hits" show in 2007, plus headline tours to Oz by Christina Aguilera, Beyonce and Celine Dion. The Canadian superstar wraps up her Las Vegas commitment next year and then heads out for a major world tour.

 

Urban rocks up

 

I CAN also reveal that Keith Urban will return Down Under in November to launch his new album, which is bound to be gigantic. No word as yet on whether he'll be squiring a handbag. No title for the new album, but we reckon it'll be the one to hoist the Caboolture kid into the multi-platinum stakes here. The first single is titled Once in a Lifetime and it's a solid pop-rock outing.

 

League final gig

 

JUST confirmed is that INXS will headline NRL Grand Final entertainment, with the Hoodoo Gurus opening the event.

They should tour together. That would be wicked. Do one show each in each city :wub:
