It’s been six years since the Tool sonic tsunami last hit our shores but even more astonishing is how fans, globally, waited a staggering 13 years for new music. Last year, the Californian quartet finally dropped one of the most anticipated albums in recent rock memory in Fear Inoculum, an album which topped the U.S. […]
St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival has been a consistent cornerstone of the country’s touring festival scene, with a reputation of booking artists just as they’re on the cusp of blowing up. So, when the festival actually occurs, they’ve got some of the buzziest acts in the country gracing their stages. With a lineup featuring BENEE, Tones […]
The Sydney Opera House is, by all stretches of the imagination, Australia’s most iconic live music venue and one of the most instantly recognisable music venues in the world. Since 1973, the famed Concert Hall has stood as a benchmark and a goal of many artists’ careers, regardless of genre. Now, the Hall is set […]
FOMO Festival has been working hard at making a name for itself these past few years for having a lineup that is refreshingly different to every other festival taking place at around the same time. Constantly diverse, hip-hop focused and not using recycled acts, FOMO consistently raises the bar as far as fresh lineups go. […]

And there was as long between their […]
The festival scene across the country throughout the days leading up to New Year’s Eve is absolutely gluttonous, to say the very least. People in major cities are completely spoiled for choice, more so than they already are, and even those in rural areas have the opportunity to see some of the world’s biggest live […]
They say Mardi Gras is the biggest celebration of gaydom in Sydney every year, but that’s only because Carly Rae Jepsen had not yet played a show here. Her highly anticipated sideshow at the Enmore Theatre, as part of the ill-fated SandTunes festival, felt like something the whole of Sydney’s inner west was talking about. […]
Bono may have modestly described U2 as “the best rock ‘n’ roll band on the north side of Dublin”, but the rock legends clearly have bigger clout than that. Their first stint down under in nine years, the tour drew what felt like the entire population of Sydney to the SCG last night. The first […]
Hip hop festivals in Australia cop a lot of flak and a lot of cynicism. Any time a new hip-hop festival is announced, it comes with overwhelming eyebrow raises from those within ~the business~ who expect poor ticket sales, disapproved visas and ultimate cancellations to follow. It’s not without credit though – this comes from a […]
