ANNOUNCE FIRST AUSTRALIAN HEADLINE TOUR
AS PART OF WORLD TOUR 2023

Japanese metal sensation BABYMETAL are thrilled to announce they will be returning to Australia for their very first headline tour in June as part of their World Tour 2023.

With just over ten years since the release of their staggering debut album Neverbloom, Aussie metal leviathans MAKE THEM SUFFER have continued to flourish in the decade that has since passed.

MAKE THEM SUFFER will also pay homage to the album that started it all with the Neverbloom 10 Year Anniversary Tour this May and June, with special guests FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY all the way from New Jersey, as well as metalcore locals OCEAN SLEEPER.

When Richard Clapton told us the party never ends, he meant it.

Ralph, as he’s affectionately known, is celebrating 50 years as one of Australia’s foremost singer / songwriters with anniversary shows at the State Theatre in Sydney on Saturday, 15 April and the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on Friday, 19 May. Tickets for both shows go on sale at 9.00am on Monday, 20 February from Ticketmaster.

Brad Cox has announced his “Yarns and Yodels” shows for March and April 2023.

Australian chart-topping and ARIA-award winning act Boy & Bear announce their forthcoming self-titled fifth studio album, Boy & Bear, set to be released independently on May 26. To celebrate, the band shares the news that their latest single “Apex” is available today, and that they will hit the road touring Australia and New Zealand throughout June and July.

Following four ARIA top-10 charted albums, including two number ones, the indie band are following up with a new body of work, self-produced and recorded at Golden Retriever Studios in Marrickville, Sydney, and mixed by Craig Silvey at Toast Studios in London.

The other 3 were The Who, Ed Sheeran and Liam Gallagher!! Not bad company, right?

American artist, singer-songwriter and guitarist Samantha Fish is one of the fastest rising stars in the world of Blues and Rock and Roll. Building an enviable worldwide reputation with her extraordinary guitar skills and visceral live  shows, Samantha and her band are returning to Australia in February for a run of not to be missed headline club  shows around the country.
