Renowned for their potent cocktail of fashion, romance, nostalgia and futurism, Roxy left a massive footprint on British popular culture with classic hits including Dance Away, Avalon, Let's Stick Together, Do the Strand, Angel Eyes, Oh Yeah, In the Midnight Hour, Jealous guy and More Than This.

Roxy Music formed in 1971 and their '72 self-titled debut album, declared by many as the best first album ever, cleared the path for a saunter into the UK top five by the ravishingly stylish first single 'Virginia Plain'. Before the year ended Roxy had completed their opening tours of both the UK and US.

Almost everything that Roxy achieved during the next decade, including seven more studio albums, has become part of the fabric of rock history, from singles like 'Pyjamarama', 'Street Life' and 'Love Is The Drug' to Bryan Ferry's ever-influential wardrobe and those legendary album covers. They topped the album charts with 1973's 'Stranded', 1980's 'Flesh and Blood' and their last studio album 'Avalon', and it wasn't long before the compilation album 'Street Life' raced to No.1 in 1986 and stayed there five weeks. They disbanded while still at the top of their game.

The remastered and critically acclaimed reappearance of the entire Roxy catalogue in 2000 preceded the reunited Roxy Music 2001 World Tour which confirmed that the legacy had only appreciated with time. Critics were unanimous in their unequivocal praise: "literally inimitable", "consistently cited as influential by modern heroes", "the experience is more like re-reading a good book", "...received an ecstatic response from the crowd", "Roxy Music surprising us again." Bryan Ferry's 1999 solo album "As Time Goes By" gained significant recognition with a Grammy 2001 nomination.

In 2005 Roxy Music played a stunning set at the Isle of Wight Festival, followed by festival dates in Europe the following summer and a performance at Live 8's Berlin concert. In 2010 they will play their first gigs in five years including the Lovebox Weekender festival, setting the scene for their 2011 Leeuwin Concerts. For all the imitators and admirers, no one has ever successfully cloned the unique and unknowable combination of elements that comprised Roxy Music. Three decades later it's time, to enjoy ROXY MUSIC at Leeuwin Estate.

Guests are invited to stay after the main performance and enjoy the party atmosphere and dancing to the post concert entertainment!
