- **Event Description**: The music of JOHN PAUL YOUNG and STEVIE WRIGHT is roaring back!    

Performed by the AllStar Band — the very musicians who powered their live shows for almost half a century.

After more than five years of silence, these anthems are ready to shake the room again.
Join us and celebrate the songs that defined a generation.

The Understudy pulls back the curtain on a side of Australian touring life audiences rarely saw — the powerhouse AllStar Band behind John Paul Young and Stevie Wright, and the musicians who kept the show alive night after night.

At the heart of it is Michael “China” Walker, the ultimate understudy: the multi instrumentalist who could jump from keys to guitar to bass to drums to vocals without missing a beat. But this time, his story is woven into a much bigger celebration — the music, the mayhem, and the legends he stood beside for decades.

The show brings the iconic hits of JPY and Stevie Wright roaring back to life, performed by original members of The AllStar Band, joined by players from TMG, and Tommy Emmanuel’s band. Between the songs are the road stories — cheeky, chaotic, and straight from the Countdown era — the kind of tales only a touring band can tell.

Cutting-edge holograms of lost band mates, join the band live on stage in this ground-breaking hybrid concert experience.

It’s a celebration of the hits you love — and a nod to the understudy who helped keep them alive.
