Swan, the older brother of Jimmy Barnes, had success in bands including Fraternity and The Party Boys before embarking on a solo career.
Gleeson founded The Screaming Jets, had a successful stint with The Angels and is well known for his radio work.
Borich was a member of the La De Da’s, the Party Boys and the Kevin Borich Express.
Each will play their own solo hits and originals before coming together at the end for a performance sure to blow the roof off The Gov.
Also taking to the stage are Carla and Dusty Lee, opening with a collection of songs from the 27 Club, one of the hit shows at this year’s Adelaide Fringe.
Tickets for this showcase of incredible talent are on sale now via the Oztix website.
