INXS's 1988 Concert History

INXS was an Australian new wave band, formed as The Farriss Brothers in 1977 in Sydney, New South Wales. The band's founding members were bassist Garry Gary Beers, main composer and keyboardist Andrew Farriss, drummer Jon Farriss, guitarist Tim Farriss, lead singer and main lyricist Michael Hutchence, and guitarist and saxophonist Kirk Pengilly. For 20 years, INXS was fronted by Hutchence, whose magnetic stage presence made him the focal point of the band.

Was one of the truck drivers

Jan 15, 2023

I went and saw INXS with Jon Stevens as frontman on the lawns of the Pacific Bay Resort in Coffs Harbour. I'm pretty sure it was 2002 but can't find it on the list. Can anyone else remember this one?
