A true holiday favourite, this beloved comedy classic features renowned composer John Williams’ charming and entertaining score performed live to film by the Queensland Symphony Orchestra. 

Lock the doors and prime your boobytraps, it’s time for everyone’s favourite Culkin in this beloved holiday film, Home Alone in Concert. Enjoy this quintessential Christmas classic like you’ve never seen (or heard) before as you watch Kevin’s hilarious antics on the big screen with a live symphony orchestra!

In this laugh-out-loud Christmas comedy, family black sheep Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) is accidentally left behind by parents Kate (Catherine O’Hara) and Peter (John Heard) as they leave for a big family holiday. While Kevin relishes his freedom from his rambunctious relatives, two local criminals, Harry and Marv (a.k.a. The Wet Bandits) are robbing the houses in Kevin’s suburban neighbourhood – and their eyes are set on the McCallister’s next!

Celebrate the holiday season this year with this cherished 90s Christmas classic, and don’t worry, our musicians haven’t set any boobytraps (that we know of).

“It feels strange but also right to announce that the year of our 15th anniversary will also be our last. We are hitting the road one last time to cap off an incredible 15 year run to say thank you to everyone who has danced, partied, sang, written to us and contributed.”

Born out of warehouse parties in the height of the 2000s indie movement, they erupted on the scene with a raucous live show that merged the relationship between stage and audience, creating a space where people could enjoy a gig like it was a friend’s house party. 2011’s Self Titled EP saw the bands’ sound develop a depth of musicality and substance, yet maintain a firm grip on their hedonistic hi-energy attitude.

“When we first started Northeast it was our dream to create a space where people could enjoy a gig like it was a friend’s house party. We had no idea that the house party would last for 15 years.”

“Our Triple J Unearthed win in 2010 marked the beginning of an adventure beyond our greatest ambitions. From there we played countless festivals, headlined The Forum, toured the US and Europe, and performed at Splendour in The Grass to a full tent in 2021.”

Off the back of a standout performance at Falls Festival 2011, they built a reputation as one of the best live bands in the country, providing stable footing for the release of debut album Any Given Weekend (2014), which skilfully blurred indie rock and electronic music.

They built their own niche community, rallying together unattached people in a reckless pursuit of a good time, with ideas like spending government payments on partying – ‘‘lets all get on youth allowance’’. Growing their audience with consistent touring, the bands most successful moments lay ahead with the release of 2016’s Dare (featuring ‘Calypso Beach’), 2019’s Shelf Life (featuring ‘Magnify’) and 2024’s Enhancer (featuring ‘Brain Freeze’), cementing their reputation for outstanding live shows, a strong grasp of liberating melody, and an unapologetic celebration of life’s wild moments.

Audiences will be treated to performances of all their biggest hits including Carole King’s seminal album TAPESTRY, early collaborations with Gerry Goffin such as Up on the Roof and from the James Taylor catalogue Fire and Rain, How Sweet it is (to be loved by you), Carolina in my Mind and Shower the People to name just a few.

Conway and Coggan will share the story of how these two music legends became such enduring friends marked by the decades long influence they have had on each other’s lives.

If ever there were a song that epitomized their remarkable bond it would have to be You’ve Got a Friend. One of the most heartfelt compositions of the 20th century, both artists won a Grammy award for the song in 1972, and to this day it remains James Taylor’s only number 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

Conway who believes the songs are hard-wired into her soul said, “I bought a copy of Tapestry in 1971 I remember going down the street with a couple of dollars clutched in my hand and handing them over at the local record store. I listened intently, I knew every word, every melody & counter melody, and 53 years later it has stood the test of time with effortless grace.”

Coggan, who has been immersed in Taylor’s music since a young child said, “Taylor’s baritone is so comforting, familiar, warm and friendly, but it is so much more than the voice. He is a superb storyteller whose songs are enduringly relevant and take you on a journey, in a very personal way, and I cannot wait to do just that with our audiences.”

The first set each evening will include some brand-new songs, plus a few fan favourites from early in her career, all played in stripped back, acoustic mode. After an intermission Missy will then return with her full band to perform The Sound of White in its entirety plus some of her other hits.

The Sound of White is one of the biggest and most influential albums in Australian music history. The intensely introspective collection of yearning songs yielded bona fide classics like “Scar”, “Ten Days” and “The Special Two”. It has sold a million copies and received 6 ARIA Awards. Over the last 20 years The Sound of White has also inspired dozens of young Australian women – including major artists like Amy Shark, Gretta Ray, Gordi and Angie McMahon – to follow in Missy’s footsteps and sing their own songs in their own ways.
