ARIA Hall of Fame

In keeping within the tradition ARIA established at the 2005 Hall of Fame event, ROSE TATTOO will be honoured in song by one of Australia's prime rock n’ roll exports at the 2006 ARIA HALL OF FAME event on Wed August 16th at the Plaza Ballroom at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre.

JET, back home to play two warm up shows in preparation for the release of their much anticipated new album Shine On, will crank out a special tribute to ROSE TATTOO, a band that remains a strong influence on them. \"We're going to do ’We Can't Be Beaten’ - I think it fits us more than their other sons. And it captures an attitude which is ingrained in every Australian”, said Jet’s NIC CESTER.

Australian based artist BROOKE FRASER will perform the HELEN REDDY 1973 classic Delta Dawn. Well known in her birth country of New Zealand, Brooke Fraser is set to charm her way into the hearts of Australian music fans with her debut album (What To Do With Daylight) of beautiful self-penned songs.

DIVINYLS founding members Chrissy Amphlett and Mark McEntee, will take to the stage for the first time in almost 12 years to perform two of their biggest hits - I Touch Myself and Boys in Town while the original line-up of DADDY COOL will regroup to perform arguably their two most iconic hits - Eagle Rock and Come Back Again.

IVA DAVIES and ICEHOUSE will perform We Can Get Together and a special rendition of their classic song Great Southern Land and finally, BILLY THORPE AND THE AZTECS will perform a very special musical tribute to LOBBY LOYDE.

The 2006 ARIA HALL OF FAME event will be broadcast exclusively on subscription television. FOXTEL and AUSTAR Digital subscribers will be able to see this special telecast on VH1 on Sunday, August 20th at 8.30pm.
