The stage belongs to the audience on this night, with every song choice handed directly to the fans before the show even begins. Diesel's By Request tour is one of the most genuinely interactive live music experiences on the Australian circuit.
Diesel has been a cornerstone of Australian rock and soul since his debut as Johnny Diesel and the Injectors in 1989. The By Request format strips back the usual setlist structure entirely, inviting ticket holders to submit song choices ahead of the show, with requests drawn from a catalogue of more than 400 tracks spanning decades of originals, collaborations, and covers.
Visitors can expect a career-spanning journey through Diesel's music, from early hits to tracks from his most recent album Bootleg Melancholy, alongside eclectic covers from the artists who have shaped his sound. Because every show is built from a fresh pool of requests, no two nights across the tour run are ever the same, making this a genuinely one-off experience for Traralgon audiences.
Live music events of this calibre at the Gippsland Performing Arts Centre give Latrobe City residents the chance to experience nationally recognised artists close to home, supporting the region's cultural life and its reputation as a destination for quality entertainment.
The show starts at 7:30pm on Friday 13 November 2026 at the Gippsland Performing Arts Centre, 32 Kay Street, Traralgon. Tickets are available through the GPAC website, and once you have your ticket, visit dieselmusic.com.au to submit your song requests before 5:00pm on the Wednesday prior to the show.
