Winger(USA)

Legendary hard rock band WINGER is set to electrify Australia for the final time, bringing their farewell tour to rock fans across the country. 

For one unmissable tour, all of the original members—Kip Winger (vocals, bass), Reb Beach (guitar), Rod Morgenstein (drums), Paul Taylor (guitar, keyboards) and John Roth (guitar) —will travel to Australia to deliver the ultimate send-off, celebrating decades of iconic music in a career-spanning spectacle.

Formed in 1987, WINGER quickly rose to fame with their triple-platinum, self-titled debut album, which spawned hits like “Seventeen,” “Headed for a Heartbreak,” and “Madalaine.” Their sophomore album, In the Heart of the Young, solidified their place in rock history, delivering anthems such as “Miles Away” and “Can’t Get Enuff.” The band most recently released their Seventh album, “Seven” in 2023. 

Known for their virtuosic musicianship, tight harmonies, and high-energy performances, WINGER has remained a force in the rock world for nearly four decades. Over the years, the band has gained critical acclaim, with Grammy nominations and widespread recognition for their intricate compositions and electrifying stage presence. 

Each member of the band has built an impressive resume beyond WINGER—Reb Beach has been a longtime guitarist for Whitesnake, Rod Morgenstein has played with the Dixie Dregs, Paul Taylor has collaborated with Alice Cooper, John Roth has played with Giant and Starship whilst Kip Winger has enjoyed a successful solo career and a critically acclaimed career as an orchestral composer which has earned him a Grammy nomination. 

Now, Australian fans will finally get the chance to witness WINGER in their full glory, as they bid farewell with an explosive, career-defining setlist that promises all the classics and deep cuts that fans have cherished for years. This historic tour marks a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see WINGER’s original lineup on Australian soil for the first and final time before they take their final bow.

Support on all shows comes from Melbourne rock band Shotgun Mistress who blend high energy classic rock influences with a modern edge and are known for their blistering riffs, powerful vocals, and electrifying live performances.
