# When Kev Met Bob Rides Again **Latest News** — On Your Markus **Published:** 23 September 2024 **Author:** Markus Hamence **Source:** https://onyourmarkus.au/latest-news/when-kev-met-bob-rides-again/ --- **AUSTRALIA’S BELOVED MUSICAL ICONS KEVIN MITCHELL AND BOB EVANS REUNITE FOR HISTORIC NATIONAL TOUR IN NOV/DEC** Off the back of the monumental success of the inaugural **When Kev Met Bob** tour last year, Australia’s beloved musical icons Kevin Mitchell and Bob Evans are reuniting for another momentous national tour in November and December, returning to capital cities and playing at a haul of new regional markets. Igniting audiences with its innovative blend of rock and melodic folk, and playing to sold-out venues across the country in 2023, *Kev* is thrilled to announce the return of the tour, aptly titled **When Kev Met Bob Rides Again**, with tickets onsale now from [www.bobevans.com.au](https://onthemappr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=866374f77c3243c8b4c6c2e65&id=b6c360c089&e=220f1bd8bb). ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/11821/KevBob24_Web.webp) Two great singer-songwriters, *Kevin Mitchell*—frontman of the iconic post-grunge ‘90s rock band *Jebediah*, and treasured folk artist *Bob Evans*—both men driven by an unrelenting curiosity and desire to push boundaries. The fact they’re one and the same individual hardly matters, to* Kev *and *Bob* it’s all about the music.   **When Kev Met Bob Rides Again **will launch across the country, kicking off in Brunswick Heads on November 14, before making stops at Gold Coast, Brisbane, Belgrave (Victoria), Perth, Adelaide, Newcastle, Caringbah, Bulli and Sydney, finally, returning to *Kev*’s adopted hometown of Melbourne for a grand finale at the Northcote Social Club on December 14.   Fans can expect a captivating performance that spans over 30 years of music, blending the high-energy rock anthems of *Kev*’s seminal masterwork, Jebediah, with the reflective, acoustic melodies of his ARIA award-winning alter ego *Bob Evans*, featuring a carefully curated selection of fan favourites, alongside new additions from Mitchell’s extensive 12 album catalogue.   The tour will blur the lines between *Kev* and *Bob*’s unique styles, swapping out electric and acoustic instruments as needed. For diehard fans of both acts, the upcoming shows will be a celebration of what makes these two artists so special and revered by music fans across the country. *“Last year I took the plunge with something that had been at the back of my mind for many years, playing a show that combined my Jebediah and Bob Evans songs together for the first time ever,” *explains Kev*. “For nearly 30 years I had kept them completely separate but now felt ready to step into a new era.  The result was much more than I had expected, sold out shows and a peculiar feeling of completeness that was new.  Simply put, it was the most satisfying run of shows I had done in years, and I knew straight away that I had to do it again.  So why not now, at the end of 2024?  In a year where Jebediah released their first new album in over a decade and with so many other Jebs and Bob songs to choose from, this new round of When Kev Met Bob shows will revisit the best moments from the last tour and add a whole batch of different songs into the mix, stretching all the way back to 1996 and right up to the present”.* ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/11820/cabf3b1fada1048e9f3b51b79130647b.jpg) **When Kev Met Bob Rides Again** is not just a return of a successful tour; it is a testament to *Mitchell*’s enduring love for music and his dedication to his craft. Kev’s alter-ego Bob was born even as *Mitchell* was at the height of his success with radio and festival mainstay Jebediah. While the band was recording their second album *Of Someday Shambles *in 1999, Kev began penning songs under his *Bob Evans* moniker. Since then, *Bob* has won multiple ARIA awards across his six-album career, with his most recent *Tomorrowland* released in 2021, and Jebediah just this year released *OIKS*, the band’s first new album in 13 years, with *OIKS* catapulting their iconic past and present into a dazzling new era. Over nearly three decades, *Kev* has continued to push the boundaries of his artistry, from the fuzz pedal guitar-driven energy of Jebediah’s alt-rock to the semi-acoustic stylings of *Bob Evans*.   **When** **Kev Met Bob Rides Again** promises to be an unmissable event, offering a unique opportunity to see two of Australia’s most beloved musical personas in the flesh, as one artist delivers a performance at the height of his creative achievement.   Decades of musical excellence and innovation once again culminate in a concert for the ages. **When Kev Met Bob Rides Again** promises to be an extraordinary tribute to one of this country’s best loved troubadours.   Tickets to **When Kev Met Bob Rides Again** are on sale now from [www.bobevans.com.au](https://onthemappr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=866374f77c3243c8b4c6c2e65&id=2af35276d1&e=220f1bd8bb). ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/11819/84e19c84-91fc-4801-5a3f-67cb7e946226.jpeg) **WHEN KEV MET BOB RIDES AGAIN NATIONAL TOUR** Presented by Select Music and Catherine Haridy Management    **THU 14 NOV | BRUNSWICK PICTURE HOUSE, BRUNSWICK HEADS NSW | 15+ | supported by Liv Marlton** Tickets available from [www.eventfinda.com.au](https://onthemappr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=866374f77c3243c8b4c6c2e65&id=fb56bb11ad&e=220f1bd8bb) | 1800 710 499 | All Eventfinda Outlets   **FRI 15 NOV | MO’S DESERT CLUBHOUSE, GOLD COAST QLD | 18+| supported by Liv Marlton and Bronte Eve** Tickets available from [www.mosdesertclubhouse.com](https://onthemappr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=866374f77c3243c8b4c6c2e65&id=7717b2618f&e=220f1bd8bb) | 0480 170 681 | Venue   **SAT 16 NOV | THE BRIGHTSIDE, BRISBANE QLD | 18+| supported by Katie Wighton** Tickets available from [www.oztix.com.au](https://onthemappr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=866374f77c3243c8b4c6c2e65&id=7bd3967b58&e=220f1bd8bb) | 1300 762 545 | All Oztix Outlets   **FRI 22 NOV | SOOKI LOUNGE, BELGRAVE VIC | 18+| supported by Amaya Laucirica** Tickets available from [www.oztix.com.au](https://onthemappr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=866374f77c3243c8b4c6c2e65&id=2116fa50fc&e=220f1bd8bb) | 1300 762 545 | All Oztix Outlets   **FRI 29 NOV | ROSEMOUNT HOTEL, PERTH WA | 18+| supported by** **Artfool** Tickets available from [www.oztix.com.au](https://onthemappr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=866374f77c3243c8b4c6c2e65&id=36aa8ede79&e=220f1bd8bb) | 1300 762 545 | All Oztix Outlets   **SAT 30 NOV | GRACE EMILY HOTEL, ADELAIDE SA | 18+| supported by Katie Pomery** Tickets available from [www.oztix.com.au](https://onthemappr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=866374f77c3243c8b4c6c2e65&id=b2bfb5c793&e=220f1bd8bb) | 1300 762 545 | All Oztix Outlets   **THU 5 DEC | FLAMINGOS LIVE, NEWCASTLE NSW | 18+** Tickets available from [www.](https://onthemappr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=866374f77c3243c8b4c6c2e65&id=64d6e9f141&e=220f1bd8bb)  | 02 4956 2066 | Venue   **FRI 6 DEC | LANSDOWNE HOTEL, SYDNEY NSW | 18+| supported by Georgia Mooney** Tickets available from [www.moshtix.com.au](https://onthemappr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=866374f77c3243c8b4c6c2e65&id=845b3983c7&e=220f1bd8bb) | 1300 GET TIX | All Moshtix Outlets   **SAT 7 DEC | HUXLEYS, CARINGBAH NSW | 18+| supported by** **Georgia Mooney ** Tickets available from [www.oztix.com.au](https://onthemappr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=866374f77c3243c8b4c6c2e65&id=7e1ce908fb&e=220f1bd8bb) | 1300 762 545 | All Oztix Outlets   **SUN 8 DEC | HERITAGE HOTEL, BULLI NSW | 18+| supported by** **Georgia Mooney ** Tickets available from [www.oztix.com.au](https://onthemappr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=866374f77c3243c8b4c6c2e65&id=5f36e72aa9&e=220f1bd8bb) | 1300 762 545 | All Oztix Outlets   **SAT 14 DEC | NORTHCOTE SOCIAL CLUB | MELBOURNE VIC | 18+| supported by Amaya Laucirica** Tickets available from [www.oztix.com.au](https://onthemappr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=866374f77c3243c8b4c6c2e65&id=9ac21a0627&e=220f1bd8bb) | 1300 762 545 | All Oztix Outlets
