THE TIME IS NOW
Well, more like the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd of November to be precise.
Rose Carleo Band is heading back to Tassie to play shows as part of their national ‘Time And Time Again’ Tour which began in Western Australia on 7 November 2025.
It’s been seven years since the band was last in Tasmania promoting their ‘Battle Scars’ EP and it’s ten years since the release of Rose Carleo’s ARIA charting ‘Time Is Now’ album which featured the single of the same name.
Tassie is the band’s second home.
Rose’s husband and long-time song-writing partner Mick Adkins lived most of his life in Southern Tassie growing up in the seaside village of Kettering.
Rose and Mick visit the island regularly and Christmas is nearly always spent with family and friends in and around the Hobart area.
The ‘Time and Time Again’ Tour celebrates the Tenth Anniversary of the ‘Time Is Now’ album as well as showcasing new songs and the latest single ‘Daisy’s Song’ from the forthcoming album due early next year.
While the tour dates, album recordings and tour of Japan this coming April had been scheduled earlier this year, the band is now riding on the huge wave created after Rose’s successful appearance on The Voice, Australia.
The calls for appearances and collaborations from across the country have been gratefully received and 2026 is looking to be a very busy indeed.
When & Where:
The Republic Bar, North Hobart – Saturday 22 November with Rogue Sharks & Plan F.
The Longley International Hotel – Sunday 23 November with Rogue Sharks & Jax and the Wayward.
