The 18,000-strong crowd was treated to over two-hours of the iconic bands greatest hits, including set openers Jumpin' Jack Flash and Let's Spend The Night Together.

Other highlights included crowd pleasers Start Me Up, Sympathy for the Devil and Brown Sugar as well as impressive encore featuring the Sydney Philharmonia choir for a haunting rendition of You Can’t Always Get What you Want.
