Reb Fountain transforms the Trocadero Room into a space of hushed intensity, weaving songs from her #1 New Zealand album How Love Bends into a set that is as haunting as it is poetic. Supported by Sarah Belkner, the night underscores the depth of storytelling that defines both artists.
Live Gallery: Mayday Parade celebrate 20 years at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion 13.09.2025

Live Review + Photo Galleries: Melbourne Ska Orchestra at Altar Bar, Hobart 05.09.2025
The Melbourne Ska Orchestra (MSO) brought their good-times vibes and warmth as they rode into town on a chilly Hobart evening, bringing their spaghetti-Western inspired, Ballad of Monte Loco tour to Tasmania for the first time. In a wonderful evening full of off-beats and dance grooves, Altar Bar came alive as a capacity crowd of …
Live Gallery: Sabaton storm Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion with history in their veins 6.09.2025
At the Hordern Pavilion, Sabaton’s stagecraft feels less like a concert and more like a living archive. Every blast of pyro, every martial stomp of rhythm, refracts through their two-decade devotion to metal as historical testimony. Before them, Amaranthe fold pop and death metal into something combustible, proof that even genre orthodoxies can burn bright under the right hands. Together, the two bands turn a Sydney night into an intercontinental lesson in scale, spectacle, and sheer force.

It’s unusually pokie-free (none of those infernal gambling machines taking …
live review: bloodstock open air festival, catton hall. 10/08/2025
So, on to the final day and my morning was starting with a huge slab of Modern Deathcore by way of The Cartographer on the New Blood Stage. With guttural roars and animated vocals it was the perfect way to jump headfirst into a full day of Metal. The tent was suitably rammed for the …
live review: bloodstock open air festival, catton hall. 09/08/2025
My Saturday got off to a battering start with the absolutely brutal Cage Fight and from the off they absolutely crushed everyone in the field around them. From the moment they unleashed ‘Oxygen’ it was obvious that this quartet had evolved since their last time on the Sophie Stage back in 2022. Monteith managed his …
