Thunderstruck

A Classic Rock tribute

Ballarat Performing Arts Center (Ballarat, VIC)
Sat, Feb 28, 2026

From ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ to ‘Free Bird’ - an unforgettable night of strings and light.

“Rock and roll meets classical music in a gorgeously crafted hour of music.”

Step into a world of shimmering light, where legendary rock anthems are reborn through a single violin — played with the fire and intensity of a full band.

This is not just a tribute show. This is Blue Violin — a genre-defying, conservatory-trained virtuoso who has lit up stages from Carnegie Hall to Singapore, and now brings his world tour to Australia, Europe, Asia, and across the U.S.

Often described as “Trans-Siberian Orchestra meets Lindsey Stirling,” Blue Violin delivers fiery virtuosity and cinematic flair in every performance.

Blue Violin has been earning international accolades for genre-bending performances that blur the line between classical virtuosity and rock energy

A Classic Rock Tribute

In this electrifying solo candlelight concert, Blue Violin transforms classic rock into cinematic soundscapes using live looping, searing violin solos, and explosive arrangements. The result: a visceral, immersive performance that shatters expectations and stirs the soul.

🎶 Setlist includes iconic anthems like:

  • “Thunderstruck” – AC/DC

  • “Free Bird” – Lynyrd Skynyrd

  • “Kashmir” – Led Zeppelin

  • “Stairway to Heaven”, “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “Crazy Train”, and more

🔥 Critics call him “the best rock and roll violinist of a generation” and “electrifying” — and audiences from sold out shows around the globe agree. With a sound as bold as the flames surrounding him, Blue Violin invites you to experience a night where rock meets ritual, and violin meets firelight.
