Peter Garrett & The Alter Egos

Peter Garrett has spent a lifetime exploring the beaten and unbeaten tracks that run through this country and its people. In March 2024 he will release a new solo album called The True North recorded with his band The Alter Egos (which includes Martin Rotsey from the Oils on guitar). It's a deeply personal reflection on his singular journey, drawing inspiration and sustenance from the living colours of Australia's natural environment and the sights and sounds of modern Oz.

Peter will tour nationally in support of this release and today announced he is adding a new show in Newcastle on Tuesday 12th March at Newcastle City Hall. This show is part of NSW's Great Southern Nights 2024 program and the show will showcase some of these new songs alongside some Midnight Oil classics and other works. Tickets are onsale now.
