Today, local supergroup** Australian Rock Collective (ARC)**announce a new tour, performing **Eagles’** legendary ***HOTEL CALIFORNIA*** in full, along with a selection of the band’s greatest hits, across Australia this June.

**ARC** is undoubtedly Australia’s most celebrated all-star ensemble 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) – theybring 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.

Davey Lane says*, “Strap yourselves in and be our esteemed guests as we set the controls for the heart of the sunny Californian state, the spirit of ’76 and one of the greatest selling albums of all time – Eagles’ Hotel California.*

*It’s incredibly precise and loose, fast and easy (seemingly) – we’re not shy of challenging ourselves and this could be the most challenging yet. We’ve been very lucky to grace some of the greatest Australian venues and concert halls over the last 7 years we’ve toured, and we’re limbering up for this to be the biggest tour yet. We might even grow moustaches especially for the occasion!”*

The tour starts in Brunswick Heads on Friday 5 June, followed by Brisbane, Newcastle, Thirroul, Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide, before wrapping up in Perth on Wednesday 24 June.

**ABOUT ARC:**

Few musicians are as qualified to call themselves the Australian Rock Collective. 

Comprised of four living legends of Australian rock music – Kram (Spiderbait), Darren Middleton (Powderfinger), Mark Wilson (Jet) and Davey Lane (You Am I) – ARC bring not just the rabid enthusiasm of friends who grew up as diehard fans of rock music and its legacy, but the chops, skills and experience of musicians who have directly contributed to it.

Between them ARC can count 33 ARIA Awards, 16 Top Ten albums, and 2 x ARIA Hall of Famers in Jet and You Am I. Throw in over 20+ years of heavy international and national touring, sold out shows spanning tiny dive bars to football stadiums, songs that have virtually become national anthems, and collectively ARC can claim several lifetimes worth of sustained musical excellence.

ARC formed in 2014 when, on a whim, the four friends were asked to perform at the World Cup in Brazil. Since that baptism of fire, the group have forged a tight-knit musical kinship as unique as the careers that made them so successful in their own right. 

As well as regularly playing festivals and events the nation over, ARC regularly draw from their earliest inspirations to present classic albums at some of the most prestigious venues in Australia. ARC’s lively presentation of modern rock touchstones such as Abbey Road, Let It Be, Harvest, Dark Side Of The Moon and Led Zeppelin IV – even while continuing to make records and undertake extensive tours with their own bands – give audiences a genuinely powerful experience: an unmatched insight into this music that resonates through generations, by four musicians who continue to make and contribute to it themselves.

This is music played for music fans, by music fans.
