Sam Smith snuck into Sydney last weekend for a quiet harbour side holiday before kicking off a big year of touring.

The new name in UK pop is a six-time Grammy nominee this year. He is up for Best New Artist, his album ‘In The Lonely Hour’ is nominated for ‘Album of the Year’ and ‘Best Pop Vocal Album’ and his song ‘Stay With Me’ is up for ‘Record of the Year’, ‘Song of the year’ and ‘Best Pop Solo Performance’.

‘In The Lonely Hour’ was the third biggest selling album of 2014 in the USA with 1.2 million sales. The album was the no. 2 biggest album of the year in the UK.

Smith’s first show for 2015 is at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta on January 9. In March he will tour Europe and then it is on to Australia and New Zealand for more dates in April.

Sam Smith currently has shows booked through until mid-June in France.

Smith is holidaying in Sydney with friend Jonathan Zeizel. The pair have been posting photos from Sydney Harbour, on top of the Harbour Bridge and from the Sydney fireworks on New Year’s Eve.

Sam Smith will tour Australia and New Zealand for Frontier Touring.

I wasn’t quite prepared for the “strap in and enjoy the ride’ experience of Kraftwerk. I hadn’t seen them live since the Big Day Out of 2003. It was still light when they came in, in the tent (not the outdoor stage) and they were wearing suits. Someone at the time commented that it was like watching four businessmen in the Qantas Club sending emails to each other.

At one point Jackson Browne commented how he “doesn’t think of himself as 75 and doesn’t think of his beard as grey” but that is what a lifetime of success will do to you. For many people in the room (including myself) who started the Jackson Browne journey with his first album in 1972, this show delivered a deep dive across the entire career.

The Beatles played six concerts in Melbourne on that one and only Australian tour of 1964, two shows each on the 15, 16 and 17th of June. The next time Paul was in Melbourne was for two Wings concerts on 13 and 14 November, 1975. There were two MCG concerts on 9 and 10 March, 1993, and two AAMI Park shows on 6 and 7 December, 2017. 21 October, 2023 at Marvel Stadium was special. It was the 13th and most likely the last time Sir Paul McCartney will ever perform in Melbourne, Australia.
