Celebrating both the launch of Guitar Hero 5 as well as the release of Wolfmother's latest album, Activision and Take 40 Live are throwing a free show in Sydney in a couple of weeks.

Fans will be treated to a scorching free live set as Wolfmother rips through tracks from their brand new album COSMIC EGG out 23rd October. COSMIC EGG was recorded over a 2-month period in Los Angeles with heralded UK producer Alan Moulder. A record that’s at once a darker shade of night at one end of the sonic spectrum, and a euphoric light of day at the other. The first single, New Moon Rising, is powering up the airplay charts.

Wolfmother’s debut self-titled album resulted in more than one million sales and sold out live shows the world over, multiple ARIA Awards and a Grammy, ensuring their status as one of Australia’s pre-eminent rock acts. It is only fitting that the newest instalment in the Guitar Hero® series, Guitar Hero 5, pays homage to the band by featuring them alongside iconic artists such as Nirvana, Bob Dylan, Vampire Weekend, Kings of Leon and Deep Purple.

Take 40 Live, in conjunction with Guitar Hero 5 presents Wolfmother live… one show only, Friday 2nd October, Moore Park Entertainment Quarter, Fox Studios Sydney, 5.30pm

Check out the complete press release for full details.
