THE MOTOWN EVENT

A concert celebrating 50 years of Motown hits!

Sandalford Wines, Margaret River - Saturday February 27
Sandalford Wines, Swan Valley - Sunday February 28

This year celebrates the 50th anniversary of Motown, America's greatest record label and a global music icon. To mark this momentous occasion, the legends of Motown music have reunited for a world premiere tour ‘The Motown Event', which will tour Australia in February. 

Roundhouse Entertainment and Mellen Events have secured this incredible show for two exclusive ‘a day on the green' concerts in WA to be held on the holiday long weekend - at the brand new Sandalford Wines Margaret River property on Saturday February 27 and also at Sandalford Wines Swan Valley on Sunday February 28.

And how's this for an incredible line-up?  The Motown Event will star THE FOUR TOPS, THE TEMPTATIONS, MARY WILSON OF THE SUPREMES, MARTHA REEVES & THE VANDELLAS and THE MIRACLES. 

Audiences will be treated to 35 of the biggest selling hits of all time, a veritable feast of Motown classics from the original artists themselves including: ‘Reach Out I'll Be There', ‘I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)', ‘Baby I Need Your Lovin' (THE FOUR TOPS), ‘My Girl', ‘Ain't Too Proud To Beg', ‘Get Ready', ‘Papa Was A Rolling Stone', ‘The Way You Do The Things You Do' (THE TEMPTATIONS), ‘Where Did Our Love Go', ‘Stop! In The Name Of Love', ‘Baby Love', ‘Love Child', ‘You Can't Hurry Love' (THE SUPREMES), ‘Heat Wave', ‘Dancing In The Street', ‘Nowhere To Run', ‘Jimmy Mack' (MARTHA REEVES AND THE VANDELLAS) and ‘The Tracks Of My Tears', ‘Ooh Baby Baby', 'I Second That Emotion', ‘Love Machine' (THE MIRACLES)

The concert will also star six-time Grammy-nominated American artist JOAN OSBORNE, who hit #1 on the Australian ARIA chart with ‘One Of Us' and featured in the brilliant 2002 documentary ‘Standing In The Shadows Of Motown', and two very special Australian guests who are no strangers to soul and r&b music.  JIMMY BARNES has released three multi-platinum albums of soul music including the current ‘The Rhythm and The Blues', and vocalist/guitarist IAN MOSS, who has just released ‘Soul On 54th Street', are passionate about this musical genre and are the perfect Australian artists to join this superstar line-up. 

Response to the announcement of the new Sandalford Wines Margaret River concert venue has been overwhelmingly strong. After the first ‘a day on the green' concert with Ronan Keating launches the venue on January 17, The Motown Event will be the second and final concert for this summer.   

The ‘a day on the green' Motown Event will no doubt have music lovers dancing in the vines!  The concert features over 35 of the biggest selling songs of all time.  Each artist will have their own feature part of the show and then will come together for the Finale. These legendary voices will be backed by a world class 12-piece band directed by renowned MD Chong Lim.

The Motown Sound went worldwide in the 60s and notched up nearly 200 Number 1 songs around the world.  It is music that continues to resonate with audiences of all ages, featuring in TV and radio commercials, in hit television series and in major Hollywood big screen movies. Mowtown music links generations and provides great inspiration to today's pop and R‘n'B stars. Quite simply, it is some of the greatest music ever produced.

This incredible concert line-up will never be repeated and is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience something very special.
