LIVE REVIEW: Sam Smith – Brisbane Entertainment Centre

When you tour an album for three years it’s understandable when you see the artist disengaging from the songs but tonight Sam Smith wrapped up his final “In The Lonely Hour” show and there was nothing but honest smiles and tears on that stage. Welcoming the crowd to his final show before having a rest…

LIVE REVIEW: Taylor Swift – Suncorp Stadium

The success story of Taylor Swift is quite extraordinary and with the release of her fifth studio album 1989 there was no doubt that the following tour would be a spectacle. But nothing could have prepared me for how impressive this show was and being able to see how she has grown as an artist….

LIVE REVIEW: Jason Derulo – Brisbane Entertainment Centre

  Jason Derulo kicked off his “Everything Is 4 World Tour” in Australia over the weekend and with a strong line up of supports he nearly got overshadowed. Snapchat queen Pia Mia kicked off the show with an energetic set that showcased her incredible dance moves, powerful vocals and catchy RNB flavoured tracks. Joined by…

LIVE REVIEW: Florence + The Machine – Riverstage

  If there’s one thing I’m sure of it’s that Florence + The Machine knows how to put on one hell of a show. Strolling out onto the stage gracefully waving like the queen she is, she launched into fan favourite “What The Water Gave Me” and perfectly captured what tonight’s show would be; pure…

LIVE REVIEW: Robbie Williams – Brisbane Entertainment Centre

A year ago I stood in the same arena and saw Robbie Williams smash out two incredible swing themed shows. He impressed with his charisma, cheekiness and I couldn’t fault his vocals one bit. This time around he stripped the theatrics down and gave the fans what they wanted, a greatest hits show. Opening with…

LIVE REVIEW: Ellie Goulding – Enmore Theatre

Over the weekend Ellie Goulding caused a lot of controversy with allegations of Lip Synching during her coveted performance at the AFL Grand Final. Having seen Goulding live multiple times I can honestly say this lady does not lip synch and nor does she need to. Taking the allegations in her sassy humorous way she…

LIVE REVIEWS: Imagine Dragons – The Riverstage

I see a lot of live acts and sometimes they all blur into each other and other times I walk away impressed but Imagine Dragons conquered something rare, they had me falling in love with music all over again. Opening with “Shots” they had the whole crowds’ attention fixture on them and for the next…

LIVE REVIEW: Olly Murs – Brisbane Convention Centre

Two years prior I stood in the same venue seeing Olly Murs, the excitement was electric, the venue was packed and he was at the top of his game. This time around a significantly smaller crowd filtered through the arena with no real energy signaling that maybe he wasn’t at his peak anymore. Whatever the…

LIVE REVIEW: Splendour In The Grass 2015 – DAY THREE

Day three of Splendour In The Grass is always a tad exhausting and bittersweet. You don’t want it to finish but you can’t wait to be back in your own bed and sleeping pattern again. Luckily this year the lineup offered a bit of bit of a later start for the artists I wanted to…

LIVE REVIEW: Splendour In The Grass 2015 – DAY TWO

Day Two began very quiet with many people deciding to arrive later in the day as they were most likely suffering major hangovers after pushing it a bit too far the night before. But Saturday boasted the biggest line up of all three days and with many clashes occurring I found myself running from stage…
