LIVE REVIEW: Ariana Grande – Brisbane Entertainment Centre
2017 has seen a lack of massive pop shows gracing the shores of Australia but Ariana Grande changed that with her biggest production to date.

THEATRE REVIEW: Kinky Boots – QPAC

LIVE REVIEW: Little Mix – Brisbane Entertainment Centre
Little Mix are undoubtedly the worlds biggest girl group right now (sorry Fifth Harmony) and Australia’s love affair with this four piece began in 2012 when their debut single “Wings” topped the charts. Fast track to 2017 and the girls are still together and stronger than ever with their fourth studio album “Glory Days” being…
LIVE REVIEW: Grinspoon – The Tivoli
I could make some ridiculous pun about how everyone left the venue with a massive grin on their face after seeing Grinspoon rock The Tivoli but really I would just be stating facts. 2017 sees the iconic Australian rock band celebrating the 20th anniversary of their album “Guide To Better Living”. So in honour of…
