Led by mastermind Randy Bachman, BTO dominated the 1970s chart landscape with a staggering string of multi-platinum hits. Kiwi fans who grew up cranking classic rock staples like 'You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet' and 'Takin' Care of Business' on the radio are finally getting the chance to experience these massive tracks live in an intimate setting.
This tour marks a fresh and deeply personal chapter for the band. Bachman has turned BTO back into a true family outfit, joined on stage by his son Tal Bachman on guitar and daughter-in-law KoKo Bachman on drums alongside long-time musical cohorts. Performing a massive setlist that spans both classic BTO powerhouses and iconic tracks from Bachman's earlier tenure with The Guess Who, the band is delivering a nostalgic, masterclass performance of classic rock history.
Decades in the making, this milestone debut will sell fast. Secure your spot early and get tickets here before the general public public run out.
