Australian music icon Kate Ceberano is set to bring her highly anticipated Australian Made Tour to The Art House in Wyong. With a career spanning four decades, Ceberano’s latest tour is both a celebration of her own extraordinary catalogue and a heartfelt tribute to the Australian music scene.
The Australian Made Tour will see Ceberano performing some of her biggest hits alongside a selection of Australian classics. Fans can expect a dynamic setlist featuring reimagined songs from artists such as INXS, Divinyls, Models, Silverchair, Paul Kelly, and more. This tour is deeply personal for Ceberano, serving as a love letter to the artists, bands, and audiences who have been part of her musical evolution.
Kate promises to take fans behind the curtain with tales of life on the road, the vibrant rock’n’roll energy of the 80s, and defining moments of her career. Having entered the music scene before the age of social media, these stories remain untold gems from what many describe as the golden era of Australian music.
Joining Kate on all 22 stops of the tour are two outstanding musicians: guitarist and producer Harts, and the prodigiously talented Kathleen Halloran. Their presence ensures seamless musical transitions, shifting through decades of Australian music history with energy and finesse.
The tour will begin on June 6, 2025, at the Yuin Theatre in Batemans Bay, continuing through multiple cities including Thirroul, Canberra, Wyong, Sawtell, and Tweed Heads. It will then make its way through Victoria and culminate at the renowned Mundi Mundi Bash music festival from August 21 to 23.
Ceberano reflects on her career, noting, "It’s so important for me to express my culture, my Australia, in song. This is a love letter to the artists, bands, audiences, and storytellers who I’ve travelled with over this vast continent for four decades, a deep-dive..." This sentiment echoes the significance of her performances, as she intertwines her narrative with the music of others, shedding light on shared experiences and the impact of music on her artistry.
The tour's name not only brings nostalgic memories for Ceberano but signifies her full-circle moment as she recalls her own beginnings at the 1986/87 Australian Made tour, performing alongside legends such as INXS and Jimmy Barnes. Ceberano elaborates, "This is about paying homage to the vibrant history of Australian music, including the voices and songs of those who came before me, and the new artists shaping our scene today."
Kate's expansive catalogue includes chart-topping albums and collaborations spanning various genres and styles. Now she prepares to thrill audiences by mixing her celebrated hits with classic Australian songs to create the ultimate nostalgia trip.
Expect the concert to be infused with storytelling; Kate plans to share captivating anecdotes about her journeys through the music industry.

Fans can look forward to witnessing her powerful voice and charismatic presence, igniting memories of Australia's musical heritage. Beyond the music, expect unfiltered backstage narratives rich with the wild legends of the rock’n’roll era.
Alongside Harts and Kathleen Halloran, Ceberano has formatted the concert as both a tribute and celebration of iconic Australian music.
