Diesel Announces 'Greatest Hits' Tour

One of our most beloved rock and roll singers, Diesel (real name Mark Lizotte), is going on a Greatest Hits tour in March and April 2023.

Following his run of exclusive New South Wales shows, it's Victoria's turn - the Cry In Shame singer is stopping at cherry-picked theatres across the state, from Frankston to Kyneton. 

Members of the Diesel mailing list will receive early access to tickets from 9 am Tuesday, 6 December, with details sent out via newsletter on Monday, 5 December, at 7 pm. The general public on-sale begins on Thursday, 8 December, at 9 am. Sign up for the mailing list here.

Diesel is celebrating 30+ years in music. In 2021, he released his 15th album, Alone With Blues, which debuted in the top 20 of the ARIA Albums Chart and #1 Australian Blues and Roots Airplay Chart. This tour showcases Alone With Blues and all his greatest hits in an intimate two-set solo concert with a brief intermission. 

"This show is arguably the most encompassing concert performance and song collection I've curated to date," Diesel said. "It makes for an uplifting experience for both the audience and myself. I feel they are getting ALL of me with this one. I simply had to bring it to more towns. Like unfinished business but way more fun. The sing-a-longs are epic!"

We caught up with Diesel earlier this year to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his debut album, Hepfidelity. "When I listen to Hep now, to me it sounds far from perfect, but I also hear the sound of an artist reaching beyond, and much to my delight, I still hear the excitement in the live nature of the performances," he shared.

"It's easy for me to imagine my entry into being a solo artist a misadventure at best, thankfully this was not to be the case. The road to completion was definitely not the fast lane on the autobahn but I will always hear the triumphant moments that are littered on the highways and back alleys of this record. 

There's a strange feeling you get when you realise that listening to an album is essentially hearing a bunch of misfits become a family. I still get that feeling when I put Hepfidelity on today."
