Why Cessnock loves a tribute night
Look at the Vincent Street theatre's program in any year and tribute shows are its biggest category: in the 2026 and 2027 lists above they outnumber every other kind of show there. Many acts come back. The old show pages that once sat at this web address record tribute nights going back years, including an Australian Bee Gees show in 2018, Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, the Tina Turner story and Creedence Clearwater tributes. The Bee Gees Show returns on 13 November 2026.
