Behold! The second leg of of the Breakfast in America 40th anniversary European tour comenceth! It has been observed that the routing map of this leg has a peculiar… shape to it. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions. See you in the stream!
He always said he wanted to “go out, on stage in an explosion of body parts”. Tonight, the sky will crack with the lightning all his when guitar players explode around the world playing something that originated from this man as they have for over 60 years, whether they know it or not.

Much of it came down to the Oscar-nominated score by Benoît Charest, which grabbed audiences by the ears and dragged them into the streets of 1920s Paris and Le Jazz Hot.
Benoît is back, and in Australia for the first time. With his Le Terrible Orchestre de Belleville he recreates live the original score as the film itself is beamed onto the big screen. Saddle up for the misadventures of a kidnapped Tour de France cyclist, his would-be rescuer grandmother and the titular trio of larger-than life divas, all accompanied by the speakeasy-slick sounds of un orchestre sans pareil.
