After dropping a few hints here and there, THE LIVING END are stoked to announce they are performing 3 very special shows in the general NSW area this October and November because, well, they bloody feel like it. TLE fans in Canberra, Wollongong and Sydney will be treated to very intimate, loud live shows featuring all of their biggest hits.
These are THE LIVING END’s first headline shows since the unprecedented Retrospective Tour in December 2012, where they performed each of their six albums in full over seven nights in five cities across the country, with an enormous 11-show streak at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne, breaking the venue’s record. THE LIVING END stopped press in January this year after they were announced as last minute headliners on Soundwave 2014, performing their highly anticipated sets to raucous crowds at each stop.

Post Progressive Metal masters Dream Theater are returning to Australia in October 2014 to perform a number of intimate shows and it’s with great pleasure that Life Music Media spoke with Dream Theater keybordist Jordan Rudess ahead of the tour.
With a career spanning 30 years, how does the band stay motivated?
It’s not hard, we love what we do. Music is our lives and what we think about pretty much all of the time so playing it together is fun and when we go out we play concerts which is really cool because the audiences are generally great and it keeps the fun alive.
