In July-August this year legendary American 60's girl group The Crystals known for the hits in the 60's like Da Do Ron Ron, Then He Kissed Me, He's A Rebel and many others will be touring Australia. The group are still touring with original member Dee Dee Kennibrew and will perform those songs at the show and on the bill with them on this tour are Dave Sommerville of the legendary 50's Canadian singing group the Diamonds known for hits like Little Darlin, The Stroll, You're The Limit, Why Do Fools Fall In Love etc, Australian singer Ray Burgess known for hits like Touch Me as well as appearing on shows like Countdown, The Don Lane Show, IMT, The Mike Walsh show and others as well as hosting the ABC show Flashez and the group All Stars are on the bill as well as they have performed with many acts like Gene Pitney,The Coasters, Bobby Rydell, Buddy Knox, Johnny Preston, Chan Romero and others as well as being great on their own as they do a great set of rock songs.
