Eddie Izzard will return to Australia in June 2026 to present a daring one-person staging of The Tragedy Of Hamlet, an ambitious theatrical feat that sees the Emmy-winning and Tony-nominated performer embody all 23 characters in Shakespeare's most enduring drama. The production arrives following sold-out runs across the United States and United Kingdom and a wave of acclaim for Izzard's transformation of the classic tragedy into a modern, intimate showcase of performance craft.

Liam Gallagher has fired back at the moron who set a flare off at the first Australian Oasis concert in Melbourne on Friday night.

Jelly Roll brought his Southern soul to Melbourne for the first time last night (28 October 2025) and made sure to salute Australian rock royalty in the process. The Tennessee country rapper fired up the crowd at Rod Laver Arena with a surprise performance of The Angels' classic Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again - and yes, the audience answered with the infamous chant: “No way, get fucked, fuck off.”

PepperCreek Revival return with their deeply moving second single Remember, out today (28 October), taken from their forthcoming sophomore album due in February 2026. The song, written by Kelly Auty, Nicholas Carrafa, Max McIntosh and Warwick Thomas, captures the bittersweet essence of memory - the way love and loss intertwine and linger long after time has passed.

After half a century of myth and missed opportunities, Pavlov's Dog finally took to the stage in Melbourne, and the payoff was magnificent. The Corner Hotel was full to capacity, every inch of floor space heaving with long-time fans, and a few young'uns curious to see why this band has inspired such lasting devotion. The headline read “50th Anniversary Tour”, and the sense in the room was that history had finally arrived.

Australia's premier Hammond soul trio, Cookin' On 3 Burners, are back in the groove with their first studio album in six years, Cookin' The Books. The new record finds the Melbourne band in blazing form, deep in the pocket, wide in scope, and overflowing with vintage funk and soul flavours.

Teddy Swims entered the Rod Laver Arena stage on Wednesday night to a tribal beat, an anthemic guitar overture followed by a curtain drop that revealed the band and then Teddy himself, standing tall atop a lit-up ramp. Swims was back in Melbourne for the third time in three years, but this was his first time bringing a major production.
