What?
Buddy the Concert is a dynamic two-hour celebration of one of rock ’n’ roll’s true pioneers — Buddy Holly. In just two short years before his tragic death in a 1959 plane crash — “the day the music died” — Holly delivered over 20 Top 40 hits and changed music forever. His influence continues to echo through the work of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Queen, and Elton John.
This high-energy stage show features all of Holly’s biggest hits — Peggy Sue, That’ll Be the Day, Rave On, Oh Boy, It’s So Easy, and many more. From faithful recreations to fresh reimaginings like a blues-infused Well…All Right, the performance is packed with nostalgia, passion, and musical brilliance. With rave reviews across Australia and internationally, the show is a must-see for rock ’n’ roll fans of all ages.
Taking centre stage is Scott "Buddy" Cameron, widely regarded as the world’s leading Buddy Holly tribute artist. A childhood guitar prodigy, Scott shared stages with icons like Tommy Emmanuel, Keith Urban, Slim Dusty, Ross Wilson, and more. In 2004, he answered a casting call for Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story and landed the lead role thanks to his uncanny resemblance, authentic vocal style, and standout musicianship.
Scott’s portrayal earned praise from Holly’s own family and friends, including “Peggy Sue”, Buddy’s widow Maria Elena, and songwriting partner Bob Montgomery. From 2005 to 2009, Scott toured globally with the hit musical, including a successful West End season and a major Australian tour to Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Adelaide — where he even received a civic reception from the City of Adelaide.
Over the past 15 years, Scott has performed as Buddy Holly more than 2,000 times, sold over one million tickets, broken five pairs of glasses, and knee-slid through countless pairs of pants. He’s also headlined other major productions like Memories of Buddy Holly, The Class of ’59, Elvis Meets Buddy, Buddy & Roy, and appeared as Holly on film in the U.S.
“Playing Buddy Holly has been the greatest honour of my life,” says Scott. “I still have to remind myself that this isn’t a dream. I feel incredibly lucky to keep his music and legacy alive.”
Scott is joined on stage by a world-class band featuring some of the best Australian and international musicians. Together, they deliver an unforgettable night of music, energy, and timeless rock ’n’ roll.
