It's been a long time coming, but UK alt-rock heavyweights Maxïmo Park are finally returning to Australian shores - and they're bringing a milestone celebration with them.

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.

American country star Jelly Roll has discovered a new obsession while on tour in Australia - AFL football and he's turning to Aussie fans to help him pick which team to support.

Suzanne Vega, one of the most distinctive and influential voices of modern folk music, will return to Australia in September 2026 for her first national tour in nine years.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds will release a new live album Live God on 5 December 2025, a sonic testament to their electrifying Wild God Tour that spanned the UK, Europe and North America through 2024 and 2025.
