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…
LIVE REVIEW: Alessia Cara – Roundhouse
The fact that it’s 2025 and Alessia Cara’s is only just touring Australia now for the first time is low-key a little wild to me. The tour is in support of her fourth studio album “Love & Hyperbole”, and with a 27 track setlist, she covers the majority of the record as well as the…
LIVE REVIEW: Delta Goodrem – Sydney Opera House
Two years ago I sat in the Sydney Opera House witnessing Delta Goodrem celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the record-breaking album “Innocent Eyes”. An album that has defined a whole generation in Australia, and has stood the test of time with its unforgettable hits. Fast forward to 2025 and we are back in the iconic…
LIVE REVIEW: Mallrat – Enmore Theatre
Mallrat’s sophomore record Light hit my face like a straight right was an emotionally fuelled affair with beautiful melodies and soothing production. Its stage debut was in arenas while opening for pop icon Kylie Minogue, but this album deserved its own celebration and reflection in stunning theatres. Kicking off her headline world tour in Sydney,…
LIVE REVIEW: Magdalena Bay – Roundhouse
Magdalena Bay’s sophomore record “Imaginal Disk” builds an immersive world from the opening moments of “She Looked Like Me!” right through to closing track “The Ballad Of Matt & Mica”. The visually charged record is an experience that transcends the music into the videos and into the live show. It’s not created for a singular…
