After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence.

However, when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders. He must soon redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.

In 1982, the Australian cinema landscape changed forever when The Man from Snowy River captured the hearts of the nation and the world.

In celebration of its 40th anniversary year, Symphony orchestras around the country will perform the award-winning score by Bruce Rowland live to screen for the World Premiere of this iconic film.

Joining in the celebrations will be the original stars of the film Sigrid Thornton and Tom Burlinson, who at each performance will give audiences some insight into the making of the film and discuss why it remains so close to their hearts.

Inspired by the Banjo Patterson poem, The Man from Snowy River tells the exhilarating tale of Jim Craig, an 18-year-old who, after losing his father, must prove himself in the harsh high country and win the respect of the rugged mountain men. Along the way, he discovers love, adventure and a secret hidden in the hills more precious than any treasure.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to revisit the beloved Australian classic on the big screen with a full Symphony Orchestra.

Immerse yourself in the sonic soundscape and lyrical wonders of Pink Floyd in this blazingly original event. Featuring Australian rock legend Jack Jones, combined with the might of the Southern Cross Symphony, a killer rock band, three powerhouse vocalists and a Youth Choir, ECLIPSE faithfully re-ignites the awe-inspiring sound of Pink Floyd in all its glory.

Comprising 40 musicians and singers live on stage, ECLIPSE – the name is taken from the closing track on Pink Floyd’s seminal album The Dark Side of the Moon – features an abundance of classic songs, including Money, Time, Wish You Were Here, Another Brick in the Wall (Part II), Us and Them, Mother, Have a Cigar and Comfortably Numb. Inducted into the US Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005, Pink Floyd were pioneers in the live music experience, renowned for their rich song-writing, illuminating themes, and elaborate live shows.

Formed in London in 1965, Pink Floyd gained an early following as one of the first British psychedelic groups. What made them stand out was their extended compositions and song-cycles, sonic experimentation and philosophical lyrics. They became a leading band of the progressive rock genre. By 2013, Pink Floyd had sold more than 250 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. Their innovative albums, The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall were both inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Pink Floyd first visited Australia in August 1971 towards the end of their year-long Atom Heart Mother World Tour.

Don’t miss this inspiring event, a celebration recapturing the mastery, spirit and imagination of one of history’s best and brightest rock bands.
