Some lineups you have to read twice.
This is one of them: Boyz II Men, Salt-N-Pepa and Bell Biv DeVoe on the same bill, in a Geelong vineyard, on a summer afternoon. a day on the green is back for 2026, and its Victorian date stacks three of the acts that built modern R&B and hip hop into one long singalong at Mount Duneed Estate on 28 November.
Boyz II Men headline as the best-selling R&B group of all time, the harmonies behind End of the Road, I’ll Make Love To You and One Sweet Day. Salt-N-Pepa bring the swagger and the anthems, and Bell Biv DeVoe – the new jack swing architects behind Poison – make their Australian debut. It is, on paper and off it, a lot of catalogue for one afternoon.

For Salt-N-Pepa, the run doubles as a reunion. Roper doesn’t dress it up: “the fact that Salt-N-Pepa and Spinderella have come together again, you know, cause we were apart. Salt-N-Pepa was doing them and Spinderella was, you know, doing her, and we decided that we would come together again when this opportunity came up.
“And it’s like, yeah, why not? We know that the audience appreciated what we said and we want to keep that going while we can.”
Onstage is where it clicks.
“That’s where we get the joy. We have so much joy there,” she says – and she’s convinced the reasons the group mattered haven’t dated. “There’s a void that only Salt-N-Pepa can fill.”
That’s not a stretch. Salt-N-Pepa are the first female hip hop act inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the first female rap act to win a Grammy, and the crew behind Push It, Shoop, Whatta Man and Let’s Talk About Sex.
Spinderella carved her own lane inside it: “what Salt-N-Pepa was doing for the female MC, Spinderella was doing for the female DJ.”
The honour still gets her: “sometimes it just makes me pinch myself. But it feels great, a surreal feeling.”
Geelong over a capital-city arena excites her as well. “The fans are still the same – they still love the music,” she says of the rooms she’s worked, from clubs to stadiums. “It’s really not about the quantity for me, it’s about the quality.”
She’s clear-eyed about why the songs still land, too. Decades on, the crowd does half the lifting. “They just want to have a good time, they just want to have some fun, and they want to reminisce,” she says of audiences who grew up on the records and never quite let them go.
New material isn’t off the table, though nothing’s locked.
“We still got the voice, we still have the looks,” she says, leaving the door open without overselling it. What she’s sure of is the destination: after too long away, she’s counting down.
“Our fans in Australia need to see us, so we’re excited,” she says. “It’s gonna be crazy. It’s gonna get crazy.”
Bell Biv DeVoe get a warm word too. On what Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe are walking into: “they’re in for a treat because the Australian fans are just everything.”
Three acts, one paddock, a lifetime of records between them – the kind of afternoon that carried a generation from first dance to first heartbreak and back. If Spinderella’s read on demand is right, it won’t sit around long.
Tickets go on sale 17 July via mg.live, with member presales running in the days beforehand. a day on the green also visits Bimbadgen and Sirromet Wines, while arena shows in Perth, Sydney and Auckland round out the run.
