It’s been seven years since the original voice of Skid Row last visited Australia, but now Sebastian Bach is coming back to make the youth (and probably a lot of middle-aged people) go wild once more.
The late eighties/early nineties rock icon will return to our shores for the first time since 2008 for his 18 And LIVE tour, which fans might realise is a genius play on words with the Skid Row song title 18 And Life.
Bach, who’s now an accomplished solo artist and reality TV star, will perform five dates across the country states this September, as well as his first headlining shows ever New Zealand, taking in Christchurch and Auckland before moving on to Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
He’ll be packing a setlist composed of Skid Row’s biggest hits, including 18 And Life, I Remember You, Slave To the Grind and Youth Gone Wild, as well as a selection of his best solo cuts, including those off his most recent album, Give ‘Em Hell.
Most recently, Sebastian Bach appeared in the hit US TV show Sing Your Face Off, which featured celebrities performing as other celebrities, where he showed off his legendary vocal chops by pulling off killer Adam Levine, Willie Nelson and Lady Gaga impersonations (below). No word yet if he’ll be busting out Bad Romance on this particular tour.
Tickets to Bach’s 18 And LIVE Down Under Tour go on sale to the general public from 9am Wednesday, 17th June. VIP meet & greet packages are also available.
UPDATE 20/08/15: Bach fans on the Goldy are in for some love now that the singer has added an extra date to his itinerary at the Coolangatta Hotel on Saturday, 19th September. Tickets go on sale from Friday, 21st August. Check out the details below.
