The Waifs & Kasey Chambers
It’ll be the feelgood show of the summer when two of Australia’s most beloved musical treasures, The Waifs and Kasey Chambers, team up for an incredibly special show under the stars at Pioneer Women’s Memorial, Kings Park & Botanic Garden, on Saturday, February 3, 2018.
Joined by special guest Lior and Stella Donnelly, this is a show you don't want to miss!
It’s been a historic year for The Waifs. The band celebrated its 25th Anniversary with the release of their eighth album, Ironbark, which debuted at #1 on the ARIA Album Chart, their first release ever to do so.
“We’ve gotten used to our fans being along on our side and being so supportive,” Donna Simpson says. “They’re there with us. This album is pretty much a big thank you. Thank you to everyone who’s ever come along to shows or bought our previous albums to help us survive 25 years as a band.”
Kasey Chambers also topped the ARIA Album Chart in 2017, with her 11th LP, Dragonfly, becoming her fifth number #1 album release. Produced by Paul Kelly and Kasey’s brother Nash Chambers, the double album featured guest appearances from Paul Kelly, Ed Sheeran, Vika and Linda Bull, Keith Urban and Foy Vance and saw Kasey light up both cities and countryside and the USA with one of her most extensive national tours ever.
