This travelling exhibition titled Pub Rock celebrates the people, places, and sounds of the Australian pub rock scene that energised the 1970s and ‘80s. A display of photographs from the National Portrait Gallery’s collection alongside moments caught on film by leading Australian music photographers bring the likes of The Easybeats, Little Pattie, Johnny O’Keefe, AC/DC, Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel, INXS, Nick Cave, The Bee Gees, Paul Kelly, Yothu Yindi, Marcia Hines and many others out of the archives and back into the limelight.
