RocKwiz Live Show  -  FIRST EVER LIVE NATIONAL TOUR of AUSTRALIA!

It had to happen! Dugald is breaking the RocKwiz team out of the confines of the Gershwin Room and bumping them into a Live Australian Tour!

Mistress of ceremonies Julia Zemiro; firm but fair co-host Brian Nankervis; the legendary RocKwiz Orkestra and Dugald (with mystery guests in tow) will be touring live for the first time ever in the shows five year on-air history! It will be just like you see on your tellie every Saturday night on SBS - but this time, so close you can smell them!

This incredible live tour of AFI Award winning RocKwiz's witty and exciting music trivia show will be purely for the pleasure of the local audiences who are lucky enough to catch it on stage. These shows are not for broadcast, which is all the more reason that each is a not-to-be-missed live event!

Since first screening in January 2005, RocKwiz has become SBS's Saturday night staple for the stay at home crowd. Now in its seventh series, the ground-breaking program has presented over 200 Australian and international musical recording and touring artists, some legends and some performing live on TV for the first time. There have been over 400 music trivia tragics plucked from the Gershwin Room audience and given their 30 minutes of geeky glory. 

RocKwiz is unique and exciting television, cleverly blending live music performances with engaging chat and music trivia questions. In an era where there are precious few opportunities to see live music performances on prime time TV, RocKwiz rates as the best of them by making the music the star of the show. This happens right from the kick-off where both guest artists are asked to sing their own songs before the serious questioning begins. Each episode climaxes when the guests duet on a classic song with the RocKwiz Orkestra to produce a unique, one-off musical moment and sometimes the most unlikely pairing will deliver the most magical performance. RocKwiz clearly loves and respects all forms of music - pop, rock, soul, roots, country and alternate/indie acts have all found a welcome, open door at RocKwiz.
