Peter Garrett & The Alter Egos

26 NOVEMBER 2026

Distillery Road Market

Midnight Oil frontman Peter Garrett has announced a rare handful of pub shows in Sydney, Brisbane and Brunswick Heads this November leading up to his recently announced co-headlining slot on the Queenscliff Music Festival.

Peter will be joined onstage at all shows by The Alter Egos which includes the Oil's legendary guitarist, Martin Rotsey. For this short tour the band will also feature Kram from Spiderbait (drums), Heather Shannon from The Jezebels (keyboards), Zoe Hauptmann (Missy Higgins, Neil Finn and Ian Moss) on bass plus backing vocals from Grace and May Garrett (who perform together as Raintalker).

In addition to songs off Peter's two solo albums, A Version Of Now and The True North - which both topped ARIA's Australian Albums chart - the band will be performing the odd Midnight Oil classic as well as a few other left field choices like Peter's enervating 2025 cover of World Party's "God On My Side"

These shows will be a rare musical outing for the renowned Australian activist who continues to make waves on behalf of the causes he has supported throughout his life.
