“Nothing compares to chatting with someone over a sunset cocktail you’ve idolised as a performer for decades. I grew up listening to the music of Cold Chisel, and I’m just quietly, very excited to be welcoming these guys back to Kandooma. Their last visit was incredible fun and we can’t wait to see them again,” he added.

The ‘Stranded in the Maldives’ 10th Anniversary lineup includes performances from:

吉米·巴恩斯，苏格兰裔澳大利亚摇滚歌手兼作曲家。他曾担任摇滚乐队 Cold Chisel 的主唱（1973 年，16 岁的他加入该乐队）和独唱（1984 年起），这使他成为有史以来最受欢迎、唱片销量最高的澳大利亚音乐艺术家之一。1984 年，他的首张个人专辑《Bodyswerve》荣登榜首，两年后，他的专辑《Working Class Man》也同样名列榜首。他的热门单曲《Freight Train Heart》一直持续到 80 年代末和 90 年代，包括《Two Fires》、《Flesh and Wood》和《Soul Deep》。在他的职业生涯中，吉米·巴恩斯曾五次获得澳大利亚唱片业协会 (ARIA) 奖项，其中包括 2005 年入选 ARIA 名人堂。2017 年，他被任命为澳大利亚勋章官员，以表彰其对表演艺术的杰出贡献以及对非营利组织和残疾儿童的支持。

IAN MOSS enjoys the status of Australia’s best guitarist. Primarily recognised as an axe man of unusual tenacity and sweet melodic sensibility, Ian has distinctive soulful, bluesy vocals. In 1973 he answered a shop window ad and joined the band that would go on to achieve legendary status in Australia, as Cold Chisel. Following the band’s Last Stand tour in December 1983, Ian Moss evolved into a solo artist. In 1989 he released Tucker’s Daughter, a song he wrote in collaboration with Don Walker, which sat in the Top 10 for 11 weeks and hit number one for two weeks. His second solo single, Telephone Booth, was released in June 1989 which also hit the Top 10.

KATE CEBERANO is the first Australian woman to be inducted into the Australian Songwriters Association (ASA) Hall of Fame. She has had 28 albums: 13 Platinum, and eight Gold. There is no shortage of awards and accolades with three ARIA awards and three Countdown awards. Kate has fronted the seminal band I’m Talking on their epic Australian Made tour alongside INXS, Barnesy & the Divinyls, starred in JC Superstar with Farnham, hosted her own hit TV show Kate & Friends, and won Dancing With The Stars. Kate is an electrifying performer, who joins the pantheon of acts who have had Top 10 albums across five decades.
