Pete Tong to bring 'Ibiza Classics' live to Australia

The BBC tastemaker and a 65-piece orchestra will hit Sydney and Melbourne

Pete Tong will take his 'Ibiza Classics' live show featuring a 65-piece orchestra and tracks from Daft Punk, Eric Prydz and Fatboy Slim to Australia later this year.

Joined by conductor Jules Buckley and his Heritage Orchestra, the BBC tastemaker will hit Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena on Wednesday November 1 before heading south to Melbourne for a show at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Friday November 3.

Described as "one part large scale club show and one part stage performance," Tong will also bring the concept to the US for a date at Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl on November 9.

Pre-sale tickets for the Australian shows are on sale from 10am June 23, with the full release available from June 30 at 9am.
