Australian music icon Diesel kick-started his Bootleg Melancholy Album Tour in December with explosive shows in Avoca Beach and Kiama, where fans got to experience the special musical language he has developed with his band of stalwarts, Richie Vez on bass and Lee Moloney on drums. Presented by New World Artists, Diesel, alongside Vez and Moloney, will resume the Bootleg Melancholy Album Tour this March in Warragul, followed by Melbourne, Launceston, Hobart, Perth, Batemans Bay, Newcastle, Sydney, Wyong, Adelaide with proceedings drawing to a close on Saturday 3 May in Elizabeth.
The 2 set performance showcases Diesel’s impressive career spanning over 3 decades, with boundless energy and vitality infused into every song, old and new, the audience will be treated to an unforgettable experience shared with music lovers nationwide! “With so much material to draw from, I’m excited to blend new songs with classics,” Diesel shares. “We make quite a bit of sound for a three-piece, and each show will reflect that energy!” Fans can expect a dynamic setlist featuring perennial favourites like Tip Of My Tongue, Soul Revival, All Come Together, Man Alive, Never Miss Your Water and Cry In Shame, alongside “new family member” tracks from Bootleg Melancholy.

Diesel is also excited to announce an exclusive guitar giveaway with long-standing partner, Fender. Every ticket purchased for the 2025 Bootleg Melancholy Album Tour —including those who have already purchased tickets—will automatically go into the draw to WIN a signed Squire Sonic Stratocaster Electric Guitar, there’s one guitar to be won at every show. At the conclusion of the tour, Diesel will personally draw a major prize winner, who will receive a one-on-one Zoom guitar lesson with the Australian legend—a truly unique and exciting opportunity for fans and aspiring musicians alike.
One of Australia’s greatest success stories, Diesel, has spent three decades weaving his one-of-a-kind musical magic into his rock and blues-fuelled sounds, both as part of the band Johnny Diesel & The Injectors and, more recently, as a solo artist. With multiple #1 ARIA charting albums under his belt, six ARIA award wins and millions of streams alongside a legion of fans, Diesel’s creative skillset also expands beyond his own projects, with the talented artist also renowned for his work as a producer and multi-instrumentalist.
Diesel’s Bootleg Melancholy Album Tour recommences this March.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
