Diesel

Beloved singer-songwriter and musician Diesel is set to stop in the Southern Highlands on Saturday 11 April 2026 as part of his national tour. Offering a one-of-a-kind conversation between artist and audience, Diesel’s, BY REQUEST performance opens the door for fans to shape the night, as he delivers a career-spanning, hit-filled evening powered entirely by audience requests.

With song choices on offer ranging from Diesel’s debut album, 1989’s Johnny Diesel & The Injectors, through to his most recent LP, Bootleg Melancholy, if the current run of shows is anything to go by, the BY REQUEST tour will likely also feature some eclectic covers from the artists that have shaped Diesel’s career. An intimate, electric and completely audience-driven experience, the BY REQUEST tour is a bespoke affair, with a guarantee that no two shows will be the same across the run.

“It’s safe to say, when an artist makes a set list, they are second guessing what people want to hear most of the time,” explains Diesel. “With the BY REQUEST TOUR, I feel like I’m hitting the sweet spot every night when I compile a set full of songs and anecdotes, directly given to me by the people that are going to be there on the night. As it turns out, we like a lot of the same music (go figure)!

“It’s a distinctly different experience when you perform a song knowing that it’s been asked for, a tangible feeling for the performer and the audience, it has also pushed me into the deep crevices of my back catalogue, with some of my most fervent listeners shining a guiding light through these caves. As I journey into my 4^th decade of making music, I can’t think of a better way to look back, take stock and celebrate than to engage with all who have graced me with this longevity.”

Tickets to the BY REQUEST ’26 tour will go on sale to the general public on Thursday October 30 at 9am local time from dieselmusic.com.au.
