RocKwiz: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

RocKwiz is Australia's premier live music trivia quiz TV program featuring an entertaining mix of celebrities, chat, music, and comedy.

Hosted by Julia Zemiro and Brian Nankervis, each program features up to four musical celebrities and four contestants who play off for nothing more than the honour of winning. Guests perform a song with the RocKwiz Orkestra before joining together to close the show with a duet or ensemble song.

RocKwiz is traditionally shot in The Gershwin Room at St Kilda's historic rock venue, The Espy, in Melbourne. RocKwiz also performs live at larger venues and festivals and have staged three successful national tours, each featuring an array of special guests.
