MECC Welcomes Marcia Hines For A Night Of Timeless Classics

Australia’s beloved musical treasure, Marcia Hines has a career spanning five decades, and the pop superstar is heading to the Mackay Entertainment and Convention Centre (MECC) on Saturday 21 September.

The visit follows Marcia’s successful return as a judge on Seven Network’s Australian Idol and her starring role in the John Frost touring production of Grease.

Accompanied by her musicians and production crew, the performance will celebrate the extraordinary output of this Australian legend.

With hits including ‘Fire and Rain’, ‘Never Knew Love Like This Before’ and ‘You’, fans can expect the performance to encapsulate Marcia’s incredible vocal range and recording career.

Since moving to Australia from Boston at the age of 16 to star in the production of ‘Hair’, Marcia has become an integral part of the Australian music and entertainment industry with 22 albums, 2.6 million in sales and countless chart-topping singles.

An inspiration to women across Australia, Marcia was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2007 and presented with an Order of Australia in 2009.

The performance on 21 September is part of the September Weekender event taking place at the MECC, which highlights three events over three days.

The September Weekender event will also see an 18+ cabaret event and a children’s circus event taking the stage, at differing days and times.

Venue and Events Operations Manager, Jemma Carey, said September Weekender is a celebration of live events, programmed to provide the ultimate weekend of live entertainment.

“We have programmed on these dates to encourage visitation to our region, three events over three days during the school holidays will provide both locals and visitors the chance to experience some of Australia’s best entertainers live in Mackay,” Ms Carey said.

Audiences attending Marcia Hines concert can expect two hours plus of memories and musicality.
