I was a Directioner, and in some ways I still consider myself one. I saw One Direction six times over their six year reign. I saw them play the 2800 person capacity Beacon Theatre in New York during their first album run, and then saw them play to 50,000 people at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane…

LIVE REVIEW: Tate McRae – Fortitude Music Hall
Tate McRae is a superstar. But that isn’t something that the world doesn’t know by now as the Canadian singer, songwriter, and dancer has dominated the charts, hit viral status multiple times, and successfully sold out her debut headlining Australian tour in four minutes. It’s no small feat for any artist, but especially someone who…
GALLERY: Dope Lemon – Fortitude Music Hall
Dope Lemon is known to always deliver a visually charged live show that is experimentally leaning, while still having a strong musicianship at its very forefront. To celebrate the recent release of his third studio album ‘Rose Pink Cadillac’, the moniker of Angus Stone has hit the road for his biggest run of headline shows…
LIVE REVIEW: The Wombats – Riverstage
At this stage The Wombats are honorary Australians. I won’t take any arguments for this case as their fanfare every time they return to Australia is nothing short of extraordinary. It’s been a while in-between visits thanks to the global pandemic which hit pause on touring, but we are back in venues singing along together,…

LIVE REVIEW: Gretta Ray – The Outpost
Soaked in rich melodies, cathartic emotions, and coming-of-age themes, Gretta Ray’s debut album ‘Begin To Look Around’ was an impressive and deeply honest affair. But due to the ongoing pandemic, the Melbourne based singer-songwriter wasn’t able to bring the album to the live-stage, the way it deserved. 10 months on and she has finally hit…
LIVE REVIEW: Cat & Calmell – The Brightside
Sydney based duo Cat & Calmell introduced themselves to the world in the middle of a global pandemic, and immediately their music resonated with a coming-of-age audience who related to their youthful experiences and honest lyricism. But while they enjoyed a quick incline in success, they weren’t able to tour and physically see their fans…
LIVE REVIEW: Dermot Kennedy – Fortitude Music Hall
At the start of 2020 I chatted with Dermot Kennedy about the massive Australian tour he was set to do in late April of that year. Sadly as we would later find out, that wasn’t meant to be. With the world facing a global pandemic, touring was put on pause and the continuous rescheduling of…
LIVE REVIEW: Lime Cordiale – Riverstage
Lime Cordiale are quickly heading towards arena status with their polished live show receiving a big production upgrade. Closing out their 14 Steps To A Better You Tour in Brisbane at The Riverstage for their biggest headline show yet to 9500 people, the energy was undeniably ecstatic. The merch line was just as long as…

Your childhood memories are precious, and for a lot of people watching The Wiggles was a major part of that journey.
