Tusk Brings Fleetwood Mac Magic To Airlie Beach

Prepare to embark on a magical, musical journey back in time to the golden era of rock as Tusk, the Storybook Tribute to Fleetwood Mac, brings their dazzling show to the Airlie Beach Hotel for two wonderful and memorable performances next weekend. Renowned for their charm, character, and class, Tusk delivers a powerful homage to the iconic band that defined a generation, and on both Saturday 30 November, and Sunday 1 December, Tusk will illuminate the Airlie Beach Hotel from 2pm with audiences sure to be singing and dancing well into the late afternoon!

Penni Jones takes centre stage as the infamous Stevie Nicks, with a spectacularly authentic performance channelling the true essence of the rock queen herself. Backing her is an extraordinary lineup of Dalys Timpanaro as Christine McVie, James Towers as Lindsay Buckingham, Rob Brens as Mick Fleetwood, and Grant Canterbury as John McVie, each bringing their own flair to recreate the magnificent magic of Fleetwood Mac.

“Collectively we share decades of experience from various cover bands in the 90s, 00s, and now,” explained Penni.

“We’ve had tours of Australia and the world doing backing vocals for the country's greatest artists, cruise ship shows, and European tours in various original acts.”

Founded in 2015, Tusk began with Penni’s vision of crafting a show extending far beyond traditional tribute performances, opting instead for a more interactive and immersive experience. With meticulous attention to detail and show-stopping renditions, audiences will find themselves swept back in time to Fleetwood Mac’s heyday as Tusk ignites one of their favourite stages.

“The Airlie Beach Hotel is our favourite part of Airlie Beach, of course - what an amazing venue - bringing the country’s best shows to a place that has such a beautiful and warm vibe,” shared Penni.

“Everyone is on Airlie Beach time and is always happy, welcoming, and relaxed.”

Attendees can expect all the crowd-pleasers, plus a few surprises as the terrific tribute band graces the region for a third time.

“When the band plays, it becomes a dance party, including a drum solo, and we can’t wait to get up there and share our show with the community and The Pub!

I personally look forward to getting out in the crowd again and having a Fleetwood Mac dance floor like our last show (2023).”

With standout performances of tracks like ‘Edge of 17’ and ‘The Chain’, Tusk will make dreams come true for Fleetwood Mac fans for a weekend of nostalgia, and fantastic vibes!

Don’t miss Tusk at the Airlie Beach Hotel - where the spirit of Fleetwood Mac will come alive and the dance floor won’t stop until the last note fades - book your table now!
