EVENT INFORMATION

AIR SUPPLY

50th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

The absolute best of Air Supply.

“We love coming back to Australia to where it all started” Russell Hitchcock

Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock met on 12 May 1975 during rehearsals for Jesus Christ Superstar. They return in September to celebrate 50 Years of wonderful hits including all-time classics such as “Love and Other Bruises”, “All Out Of Love”, “The One That You Love” and of course “Lost In Love”.

If it’s true that practice makes perfect, then Graham and Russell –beloved by their millions of fans across the planet as Air Supply – have had nearly half a century to hone their skills, harness their passion and unleash the beautifully intimate yet rockin’ romantic energy of those instantly identifiable 80s hits that made them global superstars.

Over their amazing 50-year career AIR SUPPLY have achieved success after success, with so much amazing music still to come for their staunch legion of fans. “Making Love Out Of Nothing At All”, “Now And Forever”, “Sweet Dreams” … these are songs that mean so much to so many, and Russell and Graeme will be joined by their stellar band to present the songs the fans love, in an amazing show that will be one to remember forever.

When “Lost in Love” was released in Australia in October 1976, it quickly soared to the top of the charts and went on to be named Song of the Year in 1980. Seven consecutive Top 5 singles at that time equalled The Beatles’ run.  AIR SUPPLY’s albums Lost in Love, The One That You Love, Now & Forever, and The Greatest Hits have since sold in excess of 40 million copies. In 2010 Graham was honoured with a BMI Million-Air Certificate recognizing three million performances of “All Out Of Love.”

The duo is ever-present on the road to the tune of 130 dates a year and hit a milestone 5500th live show in late 2024. Air Supply were the first Western group to tour China, who prior to the band’s breakthrough would not allow pop music across their borders. In 2005, Air Supply performed for a record 175,000 people in Cuba.

2025 will bring more seemingly nonstop rousing performances of the smash hits by their powerhouse band. Under musical direction of lead guitarist Aaron McLain, the ensemble includes Mirko Tessandori (piano/keyboards/vocals), Pavel Valdman (drums) and Doug Gild (bass). Graham and Russell will also mark their milestone with exciting projects in a variety of media. These include a biopic titled All Out of Love: The Air Supply Story, a Broadway comedy-drama musical featuring their songs (Lost in Love), and a yet to be titled autobiography by Graham and Russell. The duo will also be releasing their 18th studio album A Matter of Time, produced by Brian Howes, along with a very special vinyl compilation.

“It means the world to us to celebrate our 50th Anniversary by performing in our homeland of Australia,” said Russell Hitchcock about the upcoming tour. Added Graham Russell, “On our 50th year as Air Supply, nothing will make us prouder than coming back to the place where it all began!”.

Make sure you get your tickets early to witness this spellbinding performance of AIR SUPPLY’s catalogue of wonderful songs – these will be very special nights with some of the most beautiful love songs ever written.
