LIVE REVIEW: Adam Lambert – Enmore Theatre

Looking around at the sold out crowd filing up the Enmore Theatre I couldn’t help but be impressed with the wide age range and walks of life that were entering the venue. That shouldn’t be a surprise though because Adam Lambert has it all; the voice, the stage presence, the moves and the looks. He…

LIVE REVIEW: Tonight Alive – The Metro

Australian pop/rock band Tonight Alive have received a lot of comparisons over the years to Paramore but they’ve finally shaken them off and are now just being referenced as Tonight Alive. Bursting onto the stage with “To Be Free” they welcomed the hometown crowd to an intimate evening celebrating the bands previous releases and previewed…

LIVE REVIEW: R5, Jack & Jack – Eatons Hill

This concert event was an interesting one. I know, what an opening line but I don’t know how else to honestly start this review because they were my exact thoughts when I left the gig. Billed as a school holiday event the crowd was majority under 16 year olds and I automatically felt old and…

LIVE REVIEW: The 1975 – The Tivoli

Alternative rock favourites The 1975 have given their sound and image a bit of an update with their forthcoming second studio album “I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It” due for release later in the month. They kicked off their pre-album release Australian tour in Brisbane…

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…
