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…
LIVE REVIEW: Splendour In The Grass 2015 – DAY ONE
Splendour In The Grass is one of Australia’s biggest music festivals and rightfully so. The lineup always brings some of the industries heavyweights to our shores while showcasing some of the best up and coming talent in the indie pop/rock scene. The 2015 line up was no exception and it was no doubt that we…
LIVE REVIEW: 5 Seconds Of Summer – Brisbane Entertainment Centre
Only three years ago 5 Seconds Of Summer were playing to a small crowd at The Old Museum in Brisbane and now their shows are very, very different. With a sold out arena Ashton Irwin, Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings and Michael Clifford took the stage to 13,0000 hysterical teenage girls and gave them what they…
LIVE REVIEW: Nickelback – Brisbane Entertainment Centre
What started off as ironically wanting to see Nickelback live turned into genuine excitement. Going through their greatest hits you can’t deny that you know the majority of the lyrics and that you rock out to them when they play on the radio. Yes, they may be one of the most hated and ridiculed bands but…
LIVE REVIEW: Motley Crue & Alice Cooper – Brisbane Entertainment Centre
I always found the billing of the Motley Crue and Alice Cooper a tad confusing as Cooper has had more hits and his stage charisma is a bit more engaging. So the billing of him as a special guest was a tad strange. Anyway, with the curtain dropping Alice Cooper emerged on stage singing “Department…
LIVE REVIEW: Backstreet Boys – Brisbane Entertainment Centre
Look, I wasn’t so excited about this one. I knew Backstreet Boys would deliver some old school bops and would have me reminiscing to my school discos but I kind of prepared for them to be average. Boy was I wrong. They might be men now and not the baby faced teens that the world…
LIVE REVIEW: Charli XCX, Tkay Maidza – The Met
With a quick rise to mainstream fame last year Charli XCX stood out of the underground indie pop music scene and dominated the charts with “Boom Clap”, “Break The Rules” and featured on Iggy Azalea’s smash hit “Fancy”. She’s currently touring Australia for the first time with the Groovin The Moo Festival as well as…
