Anthony Callea and Tim Campbell Melbourne Concert 2027
Anthony Callea and Tim Campbell are joining forces once again with John Foreman’s Australian Pops Orchestra, bringing the music of Billy Joel and Phil Collins to Melbourne’s Hamer Hall on Saturday 22 May 2027.
Two of Australia’s most loved entertainers will take audiences on a musical journey through some of the biggest hits of the past five decades, backed by a magnificent 40-piece orchestra.
And what a catalogue of music they have to work with.
From Billy Joel’s Piano Man, Uptown Girl and Just the Way You Are to Phil Collins classics In the Air Tonight, Against All Odds and You Can’t Hurry Love, these are songs that have stood the test of time.
Whether you grew up listening to them on vinyl, cassette or CD, chances are you know every word.
Anthony Callea and Tim Campbell Reunite with John Foreman
Anthony and Tim have enjoyed a successful musical partnership over the years, and their chemistry on stage is something audiences have come to love.
In 2024, the pair joined John Foreman and the Australian Pops Orchestra for The Songs of Elton & George, celebrating the music of Elton John and George Michael.
The production was a sell-out success, and now they’re back with another two music legends.
“We couldn’t be more excited to be reuniting with John Foreman and the Australian Pops Orchestra for another incredible musical celebration,” Anthony and Tim said.
“There’s something truly magical about hearing these iconic songs performed with a full orchestra, and when you’re talking about the music of Billy Joel and Phil Collins, you’re talking about an extraordinary catalogue of songs that have meant so much to so many people.”
Forty Musicians Bringing the Classics to Life
Under the direction of John Foreman, the Australian Pops Orchestra will perform new arrangements created especially for the production.
The addition of a 40-piece orchestra will give these familiar songs a different sound, from the quieter ballads to the big rock anthems.
And with Anthony and Tim’s impressive vocal abilities, there’s plenty to look forward to.
The pair are equally excited to return to the stage following the success of their previous collaboration.
“We had the most brilliant time performing The Songs of Elton & George, and the response from audiences was something we’ll never forget, and we’re looking forward to creating another memorable experience together.”
A Concert for Every Generation
There’s something wonderful about music that takes you back to a particular time in your life.
Billy Joel and Phil Collins have provided the soundtrack for generations, with songs that are just as popular today as they were when they were first released.
For those who love live music, this is a chance to hear those familiar hits performed by two outstanding Australian vocalists alongside one of the country’s most respected orchestras.
The concert will first be performed at the Sydney Opera House on 17 April before heading to Melbourne in May.
With afternoon and evening performances scheduled at Hamer Hall, Melbourne audiences will have two opportunities to enjoy the show.
