By popular demand, the indefatigable RocKwiz Live returns to theatres across the country with brand new shows.

Fresh questions, surprise special guests and the signature spark that has made RocKwiz an Australian cult classic will feature in RocKwiz Live in ’25. Julia Zemiro, Brian Nankervis, Dugald and the legendary RocKwiz OrKestra will supply the secret sauce for an uproarious night of entertainment across 15 shows nationwide.

Expect big names alongside tomorrow’s stars, riotous singalongs, audience members sharing the stage, mayhem and madness and that unmistakable buzz when live music, spontaneous comedy and pure love for music collide. After 20 years on the road, this one-of-a-kind music quiz show remains a must-see for die-hard music lovers and trivia tragics alike.

Julia Zemiro expressed her excitement about the upcoming shows: “It’s extremely humbling that we are touring again in 2025 due to popular demand. The RocKwiz family adores performing live all over the country and we can’t wait to see you all again. If you want to be uplifted, if you want to be moved by incredible musicians at the top of their game and also laugh til you cry, this is the show for you. See you very soon.”

Brian Nankervis said: “Would we like to head back to theatres and concert halls … with some great artists, new segments, new questions … play loud music and invite audience members to be part of the show? Whattayareckon? Absolutely!”

He added: “It’s a thrill to tour with a changing cast of household names and up and coming stars, but sometimes it’s the contestants from the audience who shine brightly. Last year we met Andrew whose wife was a back up singer for Rod Stewart and once went out with a member of Mott The Hoople! Julia invited her to sing with our band on All The Young Dudes! In Dubbo, contestant Julie sang ‘High Voltage’ to win her way to the show. She told us her late husband Larry, ‘loved RocKwiz so much … I wanted to honour him.'”

Nankervis concluded: “This is a crazy world, but spreading some musical joy and connecting with our audience is a powerful tonic. See you in the foyer!”
