Mikelangelo & The Black Sea Gentlemen

Australian-based quintet, Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen formed in 2000 and have gone on to release four highly acclaimed albums and tour to huge audiences around the world. From headlining at the Sydney Opera House to playing rock festivals in Budapest; from five star reviews at the Edinburgh Festival to sell out shows on London’s West End; The Gentlemen have won over crowds from Tasmania to Arneham Land to Auckland and beyond with their irrepressible style and their high calibre live shows. Equally at home in a seated concert setting, in cabaret format, or on the outdoor festival stage, the group has won multiple awards and critical praise for their incredible performances, developing a die-hard national and international fanbase.
