The three singers will take to The Gov’s stage at the end of May.

John Swan, Dave Gleeson and Kevin Borich are arguably three of Australia’s greatest rockers. Together, the trio are performing a special one-off concert at The Gov on Friday, May 30.

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.

Glesson formed hard rockers The Screaming Jets in 1989 and also had a run as the vocalist for SA legends The Angels. Continuing to tour with the Jets, Gleeso also has a nightly rock show on Triple M.

Borich is best known for his time with the La De Da's, the Party Boys and the Kevin Borich Express. His most recent solo release was 2023’s Duets, which features Borich performing with some of his favourite artists, including Ian Moss, Ella Hooper, Angry Anderson, Tom Rogers and more.
