About this event

Don McLean marks 55 years of American Pie with an Australian tour, bringing the full catalogue to Thirroul this October. At 81, he's still performing the song that reshaped popular music in 1971, alongside Vincent, Castles in the Air, and And I Love You So. His set weaves in the stories behind the tracks — the kind of intimate framing that's kept audiences coming back for half a century.
