The singer, bassist, actress, author, and radio host was born in Detroit in 1950 and began her career early in her family's band, "The Art Quatro Trio." At 14, she played with her sister Patti in the band The Pleasure Seekers and with her distinctive blend of leather, bass, and unbridled energy, she became one of the first women not just to participate in rock music, but to shape it. In 1973, she scored a worldwide No. 1 hit with "Can the Can."  This was followed by other classics such as "48 Crash," "Devil Gate Drive," and the US duet "Stumblin' In." To date, she has sold over 55 million records. In addition to her music, Quatro has also been a successful actress, appearing in the cult series "Happy Days" and shining in London's West End in "Annie Get Your Gun." Since 1999, she has hosted her own radio programs on BBC Radio 2 and has received numerous awards. Nominated for the Sony Radio Award. Her versatility is also evident in theater projects, book publications, the documentary Suzi Q (2019), and collaborations with artists such as KT Tunstall. New studio album "Freedom" was released in 2026. ![Musician with blonde wavy hair holding an electric guitar, wearing a black leather jacket against a neutral background.](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/admin/2026/08/84a9812c-d0b9-432b-aa9c-4a6cc167e299.jpg) **SUZI QUATRO (WITH SPECIAL GUESTS BABY ANIMALS) ** **TOUR DATES 2026** **Saturday 14th November** **Coliseum Theatre, Rooty Hill NSW** **Sunday 15th November** **Sydney Opera House, Sydney NSW** **Wednesday 18th November** **Wrest Point Entertainment Centre, Hobart TAS** **Friday 20th November** **The Star, Gold Coast QLD** **Wednesday 2nd December** **Palais Theatre, Melbourne VIC** **Sunday 6th December** **Fremantle Prison, Fremantle WA** **RED HOT SUMMER TOUR DATES 2026** **Sunday 22nd November** **Roma Street Parkland, Brisbane QLD** Line up:  SUZI QUATRO, Baby Animals, Rose Tattoo, Dragon, Choir Boys **Saturday 28th November** **Speers Point Park, Lake Macquarie NSW** Line up:  SUZI QUATRO, Jon Stevens, Baby Animals, Rose Tattoo,  Dragon, Choirboys **Sunday 29th November** **Torquay Common, Torquay VIC** Line up:  SUZI QUATRO, Jon Stevens, Baby Animals, Rose Tattoo, Dragon, Choirboys **Saturday 5th December ** **Seppeltsfield Wines, Barossa Valley SA** Line up:  SUZI QUATRO, Jon Stevens, Baby Animals, Screaming Jets, Rose Tattoo **General Public on-sale:** **Wednesday 12th August >10.00am (local time)** **Tickets are available at:** **[www.facetofacetouring.com.au](http://www.facetofacetouring.com.au)** ![Three musicians in dark leather perform on stage under red lighting during Suzi Quatro's Down Under 2026 tour.](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/admin/2026/08/2d549a44-4713-40ed-a5c7-2c4c9f013c81.png) ![Guitarist in black leather performing on stage with raised instrument, illuminated by dramatic white spotlights and stage fog.](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/admin/2026/08/8e6d8411-cd4d-46e0-ad0c-ca75aeb9f601.jpg)
