Tonight is going to be a whole lot of nostalgic fun! This very, very big crowd at the ICC in Sydney is ready to go sailing to Africa and that was absolutely terrible but just go with it. This is going to be an awesome night. Christopher Cross is here for the first time since 2017 and he sounds good!! […]

What an amazing thing it is to be here tonight. In case you didn’t hear, Saturday night’s original show was evacuated due to a fire and unable to go ahead, but thanks to the absolute legends at Silverback Touring, the band and their crew, they were able to pull together a show for us all two days later. So here […]

It’s been well over thirty years since Crash Test Dummies have been in Australia, so tonight in Sydney we are here to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of their amazing album ‘God Shuffled His Feet’, and by the sold out signs up across this string of shows it seems a lot of people have been waiting to see the band, me […]

We’re back again, it’s so good that Knotfest has kicked off in the way it has and now in its third year we are back in Centennial Park once again for a day of metal and we are ready! Once again we were lucky enough to get a special tour of the Slipknot museum before gates opened and this year […]

Well, this’ll be fun! Green Day are back in Australia, and not only that but they’re celebrating 30 years of ‘Dookie’ and 20 years of ‘American Idiot’ and playing both albums in full! This is going to be a long night and I can not wait. AFI are back in Australia and it’s been a while… opening with ‘Girl’s Not […]

There are some artists whose music just makes you feel good, they have that something that hooks you in and you just know when you see them live that it’ll be a fun night. Bryan Adams is one of those artists. So here we are tonight out at Olympic Park, and with no residents around we won’t be waking up […]

It’s been far far far too long since Drowning Pool and Alien Ant Farm have been in Australia. So tonight will be nostalgia overload and I can’t wait. Frankenbox open the show to a room that is starting to fill up very quickly and that’s a great sign for what’s to come. These guys are heavy, and with a new […]

It’s weird to think that this will be the last time I see You Me At Six. After many years seeing them live and interviewing the guys numerous times, this is their last Sydney show as they prepare after twenty years as a band to say goodbye. I know that tonight will be something special so I for one can’t […]

It’s been too long since Bowling For Soup have been in Australia. Ten years in fact. See… too long. So here for Good Things we are lucky enough to have a sideshow in Sydney and that’s where we are tonight. Taylor Acorn is opening the show tonight and I’m stoked as her trip here in March was awesome so I’m […]

Back at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt and tonight, this bill is something else, two amazing voices on the same night, I’m in! I’ve seen Richard Marx a number of times and he always delivers, but tonight will be my first night seeing Tina Arena live and I can’t wait to hear these songs of hers I’ve heard for the […]

The Killers are back in Australia celebrating twenty years since ‘Hot Fuss’ was released, but as a treat Sydney is getting two nights of the band and tonight is a ‘Royal Diamonds’ show which will showcase all the bands hits and more. It’s been a while since I’ve seen The Killers so this should be a lot of fun. Radio […]

I remember sitting at home in Victoria in 1996 watching the Farewell To The World concert and thinking how lucky everyone who was there was getting to witness this event. I guess for me that became Crowded House’s venue, the one I had to one day see them at, and tonight after 28 years I get the chance to see […]

It’s been over a decade since I saw The Cult live and they impressed me to no end, so here we are on the second of their third sold out Sydney shows, each at different venues. Tonight at the amazing Enmore Theatre we are in for a treat as the band are here celebrating their 40th anniversary on their 8424 […]

Tonight at The Enmore Theatre which is without doubt one of the temples of The Tea Party we are here to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the brilliant TRIPtych album and I know I’m excited to hear how this will be done and how this ever loving Tea Party crowd will absorb the energy and amazingness that is this band […]

Tonight is going to be fun!! Tonight Simple Plan return to Australia and they’ve brought along Boys Like Girls, We The Kings, and Jax to make the night even better. So let’s see how this night plays out… Jax is our early opener tonight and with ‘90’s Kids’ she’s fun, and this fun! Followed by a fun song called ‘The […]

What a pairing and what a night this will be. Two bands that took on the 90’s together on the same bill. So this very full venue is excited and ready for a night of songs we all grew up with and have become a part of our lives. Live take the stage and as the spotlight hits Ed he […]

Here we are again! Knotfest is back in Australia for its second year. This year sees the return of Pantera as headliner, and who ever thought we’d see this day? So with a stacked lineup, let’s see how the day plays out in this heat. Started the day with a special tour in the Slipknot museum and man that’s something, […]

Halestorm are back (from the dead) I mean in Australia oh man that was terrible. Let’s start again… Halestorm are back in Australia for Knotfest and Sydney is lucky enough tonight to get one of the two side shows they have. It’s always a great night with Halestorm and tonight Skindred jump on board to make it even better. So […]

It’s been far too long since we saw Ville Valo in Sydney and tonight he’s back but as a solo artist and with his band VV. The stage and the updated VV Heartagram is lit pink as the crowd cheers for the return of Ville Valo and haunting music plays setting the scene for what’s to come. The band arrive […]

I’ve been following Taylor Acorn since her country days and I’m stoked to finally get to see her live as she makes her debut in Sydney tonight. I’m highly doubtful I’ll get my favourite ‘Back to You’ but hey I’m excited to hear live what Taylor has become as her newest album is sensational. Chez is opening tonight and I’m […]

Slash and his merry men (Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators) are back in Australia, it’s been a while so tonight we are ready for a fun night of rock and roll! Rose Tattoo open the show and are ripping it up with basically a best of set. This is Aussie rock and roll and done well. It was short and […]

It’s been far too long since The Struts have been on Australian shores. The momentum they were building pre Covid was amazing so now it’s time for them to get it back and I can guarantee they bloody well will. Opening tonight is Bad Moon Born and they’re just always impressive in my opinion. It’s just awesome to have a […]

Glam Fest is back, in its second year and this is going to be fun. Silverback Touring have the balls to put on these kinds of events with bands that people love and a lot of which have never graced Australian shores before, so massive kudos to the team for doing this for us and for the fans. As we […]

When a band has been around as long as Candlebox have, it’s a crime they haven’t been to Australia before. Thirty years into the bands career and they are finally here to say hello and goodbye. Bittersweet but so glad we got the chance to see them in Australia this once. Thanks Silverback Touring. A couple of openers tonight. The […]

It’s a hot one! So tonight is going to be something… BUT we’re here to rock, and rock we will at this massive stadium tonight to see the Foo Fighters. It’s a long afternoon ahead but here we go… Hot Milk come out firing. The opener is just full of energy and says the scene. It’s loud, they’re here to […]

And we’re back! After missing last years, it’s great to be back and I know I’m ready for a whole heap of good things today. It was an excellent easy entry, I have to give it up to them for that, no hassles, no lines, this was great and a really good start to the day. Hardest thing is there’s […]

After months of waiting, it’s finally here. Postponed from April it was a very nice surprise remembering this was happening and is an amazing way to start the new month. Liz Stringer opened the show solo acoustic and I have to say, I was impressed. Lyrically these songs were fantastic, she was engaging, and most definitely someone I will now […]

It’s finally here, The Stadium Tour, two of the biggest bands of the 80’s and beyond are in Australia to show that this kind of stadium rock is still alive and well, and I’m here for it. I like many here today grew up with both of these bands and to see them sharing the same stage tonight is kinda […]

This is going to be something! Extreme were last here in 2018 with Mr Big, and Living Colour also in 2018, so this five year break from our shores, and this time teaming up is truly going to be a masterclass. Two technically, amazing, funky bands. I for one can’t wait. Bang on time as Living Colour take to the […]

One of my favourite things is when a band is touring Australia for the first time. There’s a sense of awe, of the unknown, and of excitement. That’s the vibe tonight in here. I for one can’t wait. Pyrefly stepped up tonight as last minute support and they were good. Heavy, catchy tunes. Not afraid to put on a show, […]
