Noise11.com Presents Earth, Wind And Fire In Australia

Alabama metalcore band Gideon have released their new five-track EP 4x4, accompanied by a visualiser for the track ‘YEEHAW', just months before returning to Australia as special guests on Bury Tomorrow's September tour.

American singer, songwriter and multimedia artist Oliver Tree has died aged 32 after a mid-air helicopter collision in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. His death brings an abrupt end to a career that blended alternative pop, hip-hop, comedy and visual performance, and has resulted in the unexpected cancellation of his scheduled Australian and New Zealand tour dates for October.

The Sharp will return to stages across Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales later this year, with the Melbourne band's September performances set to become the centrepiece of a new live album.

American singer-songwriter Cat Power has announced an Australian tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of her landmark 2006 album The Greatest, with a series of national performances culminating in a special appearance at Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens as part of the Live at the Gardens concert series.

Chris Botti's 2026 Australian tour arrives with a setlist that transforms songs by Leonard Cohen, the Bee Gees, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and Ennio Morricone into jazz-driven interpretations, highlighting the Grammy-winning trumpeter's unique ability to bridge genres.

As Shinedown prepare for their first Australian tour in 16 years, frontman Brent Smith has revealed that the band's new album Ei8ht was deliberately conceived as a traditional collection of songs, marking a departure from the narrative structures that defined its two predecessors, Attention Attention and Planet Zero.

Sydney roots rock outfit Joeys Coop have announced the release of their third album, Sawdust Memories, due on July 3, alongside a national run of shows stretching across the second half of 2026. The band has also unveiled the album's lead single, In The Pines, which arrives today and will be officially launched at Sydney's MoshPit venue on June 25.
