Get ready for an unforgettable night of Australian rock history! The legendary Richard Clapton, one of our nation’s most influential singer-songwriters, is set to play live at the Kingscliff Beach Hotel on Saturday, September 27th.

For over 40 years, Richard Clapton has been the voice of a generation, charting the political landscape and personal journeys of Australians through his poetic lyrics and melodic rock. From his groundbreaking 1973 album Prussian Blue, featuring the enduring “I Wanna Be A Survivor,” to his No.1 hit “Girls On The Avenue” in 1975, Clapton’s songs have become an integral part of the Australian soundtrack.

Expect to hear all the perennial favourites that have resonated deeply with fans for decades, including “Capricorn Dancer,” “Deep Water,” “I Am An Island,” and many more. Richard Clapton has masterfully balanced radio-friendly tunes with candid, heartfelt lyrics, a skill that cemented his place as a mentor to rising stars like INXS, Jimmy Barnes, and Cold Chisel.

Having released over 20 albums with cumulative sales exceeding one million, and as the only rock artist to receive an Australia Council arts grant, Richard Clapton’s career is a testament to his enduring talent and resilience. In 1999, he was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, further solidifying his iconic status. His 2014 memoir, “The Best Years of Our Lives,” captivated readers young and old, showcasing not just his journey, but the shared experiences of thousands of fans.

Now, in 2025, Richard Clapton continues to evolve, having recently released his first cover album, Music Is Love (1966-1970), a heartfelt homage to the music of peace, love, and understanding from the American hippie era. Prepare to hear his unique interpretations of songs by The Byrds, Crosby, Stills Nash & Young, Bob Dylan, and more, sung as only Richard Clapton can.

Don’t miss your chance to witness a true survivor and one of Australia’s most cherished singer-songwriters, Richard Clapton, live at the Kingscliff Beach Hotel. It’s more than just a concert; it’s a journey through the heart and soul of Australian music.
