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…

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.

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…

Olivia Dean is currently wowing audiences on the Laneway Festival lineup as it makes its way around New Zealand and Australia. Noted as a highlight on the bill, her mid afternoon set has showcased just how much of a star she is, and the love she’s get back in return has cemented that. With her…

LIVE REVIEW: Lawrence – Metro Theatre

It’s really nice when a gig completely exceeds all your expectations and makes you mentally take a step back for a second. Lawrence kicked off their sold out debut Australian tour in Sydney with the first of two nights at The Metro Theatre, and they truly turned that venue into the Church Of Lawrence. From…
