Australia Day shows are always an excuse to relax, get a bit too drunk and a tad sunburnt but sadly this wasn’t the go with The Vamps Brisbane show at The Riverstage. With a no alcohol ban, a strong under 16 crowd and hovering rain clouds the show wasn’t ideal to begin with. “Masketta Fall…

LIVE REVIEW: The 1975 – Marquee, Brisbane
Whoever thought having a capacity show in a tin infrastructure during the Australian summer was a good idea should rethink their life decisions. I have never been so hot at a show before from the amount of body heat that was being created. Luckily The 1975 delivered an incredible show that made me forgive the…
LIVE REVIEW: Nelly, B.O.B, Lupe Fiasco – Brisbane Riverstage
It had been a while since Australia had actually got a killer hip hop tour and 2015 finally made it happen. With a lineup of Nelly, B.O.B and Lupe Fiasco you couldn’t really got wrong but surprisingly Nelly wasn’t the star of the show. As the sun started setting on the picturesque venue which is…
LIVE REVIEW: Katy Perry – Brisbane Entertainment Centre
Katy Perry has become one of those artists you wouldn’t want to mess with. She has more hits than you, looks better than you do, and let’s be honest she sings better than you do, and we love her for it. The Prismatic World Tour reached its 99th show while in Brisbane and with…
LIVE REVIEW: The Madden Brothers – Hisense Arena, Melbourne
For Joel and Benji Madden performing comes second nature to them and witnessing their first Madden Brothers show nerves were surprisingly noticeably high. Opening with “Dear Jane” they commanded the stage with their usual rock star attitudes but greeted the crowd with awkward banter. After finding their feet after a couple of songs they…
LIVE REVIEW: Miley Cyrus – Brisbane Entertainment Centre
Love her or hate her there is no denying that Miley Cyrus puts on a killer live show. From the opening sequence where she slides down a tongue slide singing the infectious “SMS (Bangers)” she had the whole Brisbane arena in awe.

LIVE REVIEW: Justin Timberlake – Brisbane Entertainment Centre
Justin Timberlake has been on my bucket list to see for a long time and with “ The 20/20 Experience World Tour” he doesn’t disappoint, not even slightly. Dramatically opening with “Pusher Lover Girl” JT arrives on stage to overwhelming screams and for the next 2 and a half hours he has the crowd eating…
LIVE REVIEW: Sara Bareilles – The Tivoli
Four years ago Sara Bareilles toured Australia supporting Maroon 5 on their national tour, she has now returned to an unprecedented run of sold out shows. Supported by Melbourne based musician Ben Abraham these intimate sold out shows were quite special if you got to witness them. Bareilles walked out onto the stage alone with…
LIVE REVIEW: Robbie Williams – Brisbane Entertainment Centre
There’s no other showman like Robbie Williams and when it comes to hitting that stage there’s no denying he will deliver bigger than you expected. First thing first, this was not a greatest hits show, it was a celebration of Swing music. Showcasing songs from his two swing albums he invited everyone into a genre…
LIVE REVIEW: Kanye West – Brisbane Entertainment Centre
Kanye West’s Australian tour was surrounded by a lot of negative media attention but when it came to closing the Yeezus Tour in Brisbane the emcee exceeded expectations. Rising onto the stage with “Imperial March” from Star Wars blasting he launched into “Black Skinhead” which had the whole arena jump out of their seats. The…
