LIVE REVIEW: BANKS – Enmore Theatre

BANKS has just come and delivered one of my favourite live shows I’ve seen in 2025 with the spectacular “Off With Her Head Tour”. Packing out the Enmore Theatre in Sydney, she delivered a show that felt like the culmination of her career to date. BANKS is a performer who has always delivered a moody…

LIVE REVIEW: Jeremy Zucker – The Tivoli

Earlier this year Jeremy Zucker released his third studio album “Garden State”, which in my opinion was his best body of work yet. It was a cohesive exploration of his childhood, relationships and life, with some of his most introspective songwriting yet. I was excited to see how he brought it to the live stage…

LIVE REVIEW: M.I.A. – Enmore Theatre

There are some artists who are forever ingrained in my brain from my childhood of watching RAGE and Video Hits religiously every weekend, and M.I.A. is definitely one of them. “Paper Planes” is one of those songs that soundtracked 2007-2008 for me, and I remember her playing Big Day Out 2011 and not being able…

LIVE REVIEW + GALLERY: Camila Cabello – Hordern Pavilion

Camila Cabello having one of the best pop concert production’s I’ve seen in 2025 was not on my bingo card. But the Yours, C Tour was a spectacle from the moment it began, right through to the final closing moments of “I LUV IT”. And when you stripped away all of the shiny production, Camila…

LIVE REVIEW: Medium Build – Lansdowne Hotel

The Lansdowne Hotel is such an intimate venue in Sydney, and every now and then you get to witness a really special show there where you think to yourself, “I am never going to see this artist play a venue like this again”. And now Medium Build is one of those acts following his recent…

LIVE REVIEW: Audrey Nuna – Oxford Art Factory 

It’s the second last show of Audrey Nuna’s Trench World Tour, and it also marks her first show in Australia as she touches down in Sydney for a packed Sunday night show in Sydney. Oxford Art Factory is already at capacity while 1300 are hyping the crowd and getting the energy levels up on a…

LIVE REVIEW: Spacey Jane – Hordern Pavilion

With three sold out nights at Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, it feels like there’s no one quite like Spacey Jane in Australian music right now. The Western Australian four-piece are well and truly on their way to sold out arena territory with a polished live show that feels as electric and sweaty as their early…

LIVE REVIEW: Soccer Mommy – City Recital Hall

In the final week of VIVID LIVE, the big names kept on coming with Soccer Mommy returning to Sydney for a headline show at the gorgeous City Recital Hall. It’s 20 minutes before the show, and Sophie Allison (aka Soccer Mommy) is on the stage with her crew setting up her gear and doing final…

LIVE REVIEW: Japanese Breakfast – Sydney Opera House

VIVID LIVE have curated a genuinely stunning and diverse line-up for their 2025 season, and one of the most buzzed acts this year is Japanese Breakfast. It’s been eight years since the acclaimed singer, songwriter, guitarist and bestselling author had performed in Australia, so the fact this was one of the most anticipated shows of…

LIVE REVIEW: Gracie Abrams – Qudos Bank Arena

A year ago Gracie Abrams headed to Australia for the first time, and in Sydney performed two sold out shows at Hordern Pavilion which was an impressive feat in itself. But it’s kind of crazy to see that a year later she’s back performing three sold out nights at Qudos Bank Arena which is the…
