A well-known Geelong band will be reuniting to support Midnight Oil on its final tour when it comes to Geelong for A Day on the Green next month.
Organisers this week announced legendary Australian rock band Goanna would reunite to support Midnight Oil when it plays at Mt Duneed Estate on Saturday, March 5.
The bands will also be supported by ARIA award winning blues and roots band All Our Exes Live In Texas.
Goanna was formed in Geelong in 1977 by singer-songwriter and guitarist Shane Howard and found fame with the release of its debut album, Spirit of Place – one of the first rock albums to utilise the didgeridoo – in 1982.
40 years after the album’s release, Shane Howard, Rose Bygrave, Marcia Howard and Graham Davidge will come back together to relieve their classic hits.
A Day on the Green is also expected to be the last time Midnight Oil plays in the region, after announcing its current Australian tour would be its last.
The announcement comes after A Day on the Green organisers announced last month Rod Stewart had been forced to cancel his performance at Mt Duneed Estate due to COVID-19-related travel restrictions.
Other A Day on the Green shows planned for Mt Duneed Estate in 2022 include The Killers in December and The Squeeze 22 in April.
The Squeeze is Australian band Lime Cordiale’s annual travelling festival and will feature Thelma Plum, Client Liaison, The Vanns, as well as Melbourne’s Teenage Dads and Sydney’s Merci, Mercy.
