The Chantoozies are set to raise the roof at Melbourne Town Hall

Aussie pop royalty The Chantoozies will be helping us raise the roof at Melbourne Town Hall at the Be Wise Ball on June 25 – and they’re excited about what will be one of their first shows back following lengthy lockdowns.

Founding members of the band, Ally Fowler and Eve von Bibra will front a six-piece outfit on the night and are set to amp up the volume on classic noughties numbers including Wanna Be Up, Witch Queen of New Orleans, Kiss n Tell and Love the One You’re With.

“It’s like a breath of fresh air – being back and able to do what you truly love,’’ says Ally.
