The Main Event Tour was a 1998 joint concert tour by Australian singers John Farnham, Olivia Newton-John and Anthony Warlow.
The overture would start with the percussionist (Timothy Hook) on the timpani, and the Drummer (Dave Beck). Then the brass would come in, and the last four bars of "You're the Voice" would blend in. The Orchestra, would exchange during the Age of Reason medley with the Farnham Band. The artists would exchange sets, sometimes singing duets.
The tour album Highlights from The Main Event went multi-platinum and won an ARIA Award for Highest Selling Australian CD.
The Lighting Design was constructed by Chris Newman, a long associate with John Farnham's crew.
