WINGER ANNOUNCES FAREWELL TOUR IN AUSTRALIA FEATURING THE ORIGINAL LINE UP FOR THE FIRST AND LAST TIME DOWN UNDER!
Legendary hard rock band WINGER is set to electrify Australia for the final time, bringing their farewell tour to rock fans across the country thanks to Silverback Touring and Loud Lemon.
For one unmissable tour, all of the original members—Kip Winger (vocals, bass), Reb Beach (guitar), Rod Morgenstein (drums), Paul Taylor (guitar, keyboards) and John Roth (guitar) —will travel to Australia to deliver the ultimate send-off, celebrating decades of iconic music in a career-spanning spectacle.
Formed in 1987, WINGER quickly rose to fame with their triple-platinum, self-titled debut album, which spawned hits like “Seventeen,” “Headed for a Heartbreak,” and “Madalaine.” Their sophomore album, In the Heart of the Young, solidified their place in rock history, delivering anthems such as “Miles Away” and “Can’t Get Enuff.” The band most recently released their Seventh album, “Seven” in 2023.
Known for their virtuosic musicianship, tight harmonies, and high-energy performances, WINGER has remained a force in the rock world for nearly four decades. Over the years, the band has gained critical acclaim, with Grammy nominations and widespread recognition for their intricate compositions and electrifying stage presence.
Each member of the band has built an impressive resume beyond WINGER—Reb Beach has been a longtime guitarist for Whitesnake, Rod Morgenstein has played with the Dixie Dregs, Paul Taylor has collaborated with Alice Cooper, John Roth has played with Giant and Starship whilst Kip Winger has enjoyed a successful solo career and a critically acclaimed career as an orchestral composer which has earned him a Grammy nomination.
Now, Australian fans will finally get the chance to witness WINGER in their full glory, as they bid farewell with an explosive, career-defining setlist that promises all the classics and deep cuts that fans have cherished for years. This historic tour marks a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see WINGER’s original lineup on Australian soil for the first and final time before they take their final bow.
Support on all shows comes from Melbourne rock band Shotgun Mistress who blend high energy classic rock influences with a modern edge and are known for their blistering riffs, powerful vocals, and electrifying live performances.

Reviews
"At a time when a lot of 80s rock bands are phoning it in, hiding behind tracks and looking like a geriatric version of their former selves, Winger is still putting on an energetic display of plug-in-and-play-live rock and roll that still feels fun to hear and watch."
“Winger delivers a masterclass in musicianship, energy, and showmanship—one of the tightest live bands you’ll ever see!”
“Kip Winger’s vocals are as powerful as ever, Reb Beach shreds like a man possessed, and the whole band oozes rockstar charisma.”
“If you think Winger is just an ’80s nostalgia act, think again. Their live show proves they are still a force to be reckoned with!”
“Anthems, insane solos, and a crowd that sings every word—Winger’s live show is pure rock ‘n’ roll magic.”
“Decades in, Winger continues to put on a high-energy, no-filler rock show that leaves fans electrified and wanting more.”
