The Canberra Jazz Orchestra – Live at the Sands
Thursday 19 November 2026
8pm
Starring Rob Mills and Bobby Fox
With The Canberra Jazz Orchestra
Step inside the golden age of Las Vegas.
Where the martinis are cold, the tuxedos are sharp, and the band swings hard.
Live At The Sands is a spectacular celebration of the music, charisma, and swagger of the great nightclub era — inspired by the legendary Sands Hotel performances of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.
Featuring powerhouse vocalists Rob Mills and Bobby Fox alongside the full force of The Canberra Jazz Orchestra, this unforgettable concert brings iconic hits to life with the energy and sophistication of a world-class big band.
Expect timeless classics, razor-sharp brass, velvet-smooth ballads, cheeky banter, and the electric atmosphere of a vintage Vegas showroom. Featuring the original orchestrations by Quincy Jones, made famous by Sinatra, Martin and Davis Jr., Live At The Sands captures the glamour, humour, and musical brilliance of an era that defined live entertainment.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan of Sinatra and the Rat Pack, or simply love the sound of a great orchestra in full flight, this is a night of pure style and swing.
Dress sharp. Order a cocktail.
Welcome to the Sands.
