MIDNIGHT OIL **CHANGE OF VENUE** RAC ARENA, PERTH Sunday 25 September

Due to unprecedented recent heavy rain and floods in the Swan Valley region, and forecast of further rain to come, Roundhouse Entertainment and Mellen Events are relocating the upcoming a day on the green event with MIDNIGHT OIL on Sunday September 25 at Swan Valley’s Nikola Estate to Perth’s RAC Arena. 

The stellar line up of MIDNIGHT OIL with special guests GOANNA & STEPHEN PIGRAM remains unchanged.

The safety of our patrons, the bands and crew is paramount and organisers have made the decision to move the event indoors after thorough consultation with all stakeholders and experts in the field.

This decision has been made now to ensure ticketholders have reasonable notice to modify their plans. 

All ticket holders will automatically be issued with a new ticket for the RAC Arena event via Ticketek. You will receive your new tickets by 5pm Monday 19 September 2022. 

Patrons who are unable to attend the new venue can obtain a full refund from their authorised point of purchase. 

Since MIDNIGHT OIL’s new album Resist debuted at number one this year, the legendary Australian band has toured Australia, North America and then Europe, on their last concert tour. The final leg of this epic run kicked off last month. 

Don’t miss MIDNIGHT OIL’s final show in Western Australia on September 25 at Perth’s RAC Arena, with a very special rare appearance by fellow ’80s trailblazers GOANNA and acclaimed singer-songwriter STEPHEN PIGRAM.

Show reviews from Spark Arena, Auckland NZ

 

“Midnight Oil has always performed with a focused and righteous anger, rather than the flailing, sputtering outrage that seems to be everywhere online these days. They sing fierce, pointed songs, but even at their sternest it’s always felt to me like the Oils balanced that out with a core of compassion.” – Radio New Zealand (Click to read full review)

 

“It was supposed to be their swansong. Instead Midnight Oil looked and sounded like a band at the peak of their powers.

The group played the second New Zealand gig of their final tour in front of a rapturous audience at Spark Arena in Auckland on Saturday night.” – stuff.co.nz (Click to read full review)

 

“Despite the doom and gloom of global news updates, there was nothing gloomy about the thought-provoking rock performance that Midnight Oil put on at Spark Arena last night.

Touring to celebrate the release of their latest album, RESIST – Midnight Oil, one of Australia’s (and the world’s) most beloved bands gave Aotearoa a belated, but warmly received performance.” – Ambient Light Blog (Click to read full review + view photo gallery)
