The Angels to headline National H.O.G. Rally
Harley-Davidson Australia has announced the lineup for the Saturday night concert that’ll rock this year’s National H.O.G. Rally at The Bend motorsport park in South Australia.
The concert at the all-Harley event this 22-24 September will be headlined by The Angels, whose catalogue of timeless Aussie rock anthems (Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again, No Secrets, Marseilles, Take a Long Line, Shadow Boxer, etc.) is sure to get the H.O.G. crowd pumping.
The iconic Aussie tock band will be fronted by Nick Norton, who steps out from behind the drum kit to replace Dave Gleeson on lead vocals. The National H.O.G. Rally will mark one of Norton’s first gigs up front, but he’s been with The Angels since 2011. John Brewster (guitarist and founding member), says Norton is a great singer and knows all the songs like the back of his hand, so he’ll be a perfect fit.
Supporting The Angels will be Richard Clapton, who will bring his signature soothin’ and groovin’ sound to the rally, with The Screaming Eagles also on the undercard. Close friends of the local H.O.G. community, The Screaming Eagles are true entertainers and have built up a dedicated following with their live shows, which at the National H.O.G. Rally, will come a day after top fuel drag bikes provide a very different form of night-time entertainment!
Completing the live music lineup is the Skyhooks Tribute Band (including original member, Bob ‘Bongo’ Starkie), who will deliver a very Aussie, very high-energy set at the National H.O.G. Rally.
The Saturday concert will kick off from 5:00PM on 23 September – which is the second day of what will be a big, three-day event this coming 22-24 September.
Beyond the concert and drag racing, other attractions include bagger racing, chapter parades and test rides on The Bend circuit, with plenty of off-track activities, too.
Marking the 120th Anniversary of Harley-Davidson and 40 years of the Harley Owners’ Group in Australia, the 2023 National H.O.G. Rally is open to all H.O.G. members and invited guests. Tickets for the event start at $99.00 and are available from hog120.com
