JD Fortune Plays The Best of INXS | King Street Bandroom, Newcastle

Swaggering. Charming. Electrifying.

INXS fans, get ready - the Original Rockstar (and former INXS Frontman), JD Fortune will finally return to Australian stages for his first ever headline tour this October with his band to perform the Best of INXS!

The powerhouse Canadian vocalist will perform INXS classics including Need You Tonight, Never Tear Us Apart, New Sensation, Mystify, Devil Inside, Don’t Change, Suicide Blonde, Original Sin plus the songs he co-wrote with INXS, Pretty Vegas and Devil’s Party

JD Fortune grew up worshipping INXS and said to Rolling Stone Magazine, “I wanted to be Michael Hutchence, he was just so damn cool’’. Fastrack to 2005, life became surreal for Fortune as he rose to international fame as the winner of the reality show, Rock Star: INXS. For 7 years from 2005 to 2011, JD fronted INXS and sang on INXS’s final studio album, Switch.

The shows will honour the legacy of INXS while shining a spotlight on JD Fortune’s vocal talents and captivating stage presence. Backed by a world-class band this tour is a must-see event for INXS fans.

“There are cover bands that pretend to be INXS and then there is the guy that was in INXS”
