On Friday night, The Night Cat in Fitzroy hosted the first stop of Nick Ward’s House With The Blue Door tour.

After months of speculation, sleepless nights of wondering who could be on the 2025 lineup and seeing ‘brat’ themed posters on the street, we finally have the confirmed lineup for Laneway 2025!

Melbourne had just received its first summer’s day and what better way to have spent it out in the sun for Listen Out Australia 2024! With various headliners having switched up the placements for a few acts leading up to festival day, hundreds and thousands of hip-hop, R&B and techno lovers still gathered at Caribbean Gardens for an unforgettable night ahead. 

The Australian debut of the Last Dinner Party was a remarkable success, charming fans both old and new with their first-ever live performance in the country.

Festival Hall welcomed a crowd adorned in flowing white maxi skirts, corsets, and elaborate makeup, setting a picturesque scene for the band's much-anticipated appearance. As the London-based stars took the stage, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement. The audience joyfully sang along to favourites like 'Burn Alive,' setting a lively tone for the evening.

Bringing to stage the vulnerability and rawness of her third album Stellaria, Chelsea Cutler effervescently commanded over Northcote Theatre in her first Melbourne headline show.

Following a hugely successful 2023 tour, Stephen Sanchez is back down under to take his audience back in time with his swoon-worthy performances and velvety vocals. In 2021, the Nashivlle-based Sanchez skyrocketed to fame with his track Until I Found You. The dreamy love song went viral on TikTok as it set the scene for thousands of sentimental videos of lovers and friends alike. Catapulting it to No.8 on the ARIA charts, gaining multi-platinum status and generating more than 2 BILLION streams across the globe. 

Under the stars at the Rod Laver Arena precinct in Melbourne, Australia awaited Grammy-Award-winning US trio - Paramore. With sell-out shows for four nights in this city of Australia, the pink and orange wigs of highly anticipated fans gathered around for an unforgettable show ahead of them.

When was the last time you danced your heart out? It was Tuesday 17th October, streets were pretty quiet for a night in Melbourne but an underground, upbeat and never-ending pulsing dance floor at 170 Russell for stylistically adventurous R&B and Hip-Hop band, Phony Ppl.

Yeah, this wasn’t your ordinary show for sure. After being back in Australia after 10 long-awaited years, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs took to the stage at the heart of Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne, Australia. Hundreds of highly anticipated fans covered the floors and stalls, kicking off their love down under for a one-night-only show.

These boys have been on the road for 16-months touring with Australian-New Zealand icons Lime Cordiale and Six 60. Before the bustling crowds gathered around into this warm and enticing space, I chilled out with band members Tyler, Conrad and Joshua to chit chat a little about what it’s like being on the road.
