Ross Wilson has expanded his Eagle Rock 50th anniversary tour with more shows in Victoria and Queensland added to the dates.

The Daddy Cool classic ‘Eagle Rock’ was released on 21 May 1971. It became an Australian rock classic and in 2010 was added to the National Film and Sound Archive’s Sounds of Australia.

The song was the inspiration of Elton John to write ‘Crocodile Rock’. Elton heard ‘Eagle Rock’ on his 1972 Australian tour.
