The reformed line-up featured Jon Stevens (lead vocals), Steve Balbi (bass), and Kevin Nicol (drums), plus Jack Jones joined the band on guitar. It was Noiseworks' first performance since the death of founding guitarist Stuart Fraser, from lung cancer, in 2019.
Stevens also revealed to the crowd of 11,000 that Noiseworks would resume touring later this year and release their first album since 1991. The record was initially scheduled for release in 2019. Noiseworks' first new single is expected next month.
