The pair said that they’re both incredibly excited to return to Panthers on the tour – a stop they’ve visited many times before. But, Shorrock notes that now might be the time to book your tickets, with their time on the road beginning to dwindle.
“I think both of us are winding down as far as live performances go,” he said.

Shorrock & Cadd: The Two Amigos will be on at the EVAN Theatre in Penrith on Saturday, June 3 at 8pm. Tickets are $79. To book, visit penrith.panthers.com.au.
