After sadly having to cancel their Australian run of dates due to illness, Sum 41 are wrapping up their final world tour as scheduled this week in their hometown of Toronto*. While Thursday marks the actual “final” concert for the Ontario band, tonight was the first of two packed shows celebrating “The Setting Sum” in…
The night belongs to Sinners From the director of Creed and Black Panther, Ryan Coogler, comes a terrifying new vision of fear in Sinners, starring Michael B. Jordan as a duo of twin bothers looking to leave their troubles behind, returning to their hometown, only to discover a greater evil awaits them. As the new…
Nestled in a quiet corner of Umalas Village, just a short ride from the bustling heart of Canggu, Villa Alamanda at Bumbak Park Villas offers a slice of paradise for those looking to experience Bali in all its serene beauty. From the moment we arrived to smiling faces and warm welcomes, it was clear that…
The genteel ladies presiding at Lisa McGuigan’s former Swiss finishing school might well be astonished at the Down Under product of their endeavours, far away now in the Australian wine growing region of the Hunter Valley. Displaying a heavy goth influence, McGuigan has created the arresting Vamp Wine Rooms and an eponymous cellar door in…
Last year, Synth pop pioneers New Order announced an Australian tour this March playing Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane and two nights at the iconic Sydney Opera House Forecourt. The shows at the Sydney Opera House have since sold out, but tickets still remain for the three other shows. At Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl, GA tickets…
New Line Cinema, the studio that brought you The Notebook, the unhinged creators of Barbarian, and writer/director Drew Hancock cordially invite you to experience a new kind of love story… Companion. Companion, which makes for “biting viewing, gleefully playing at once with the dynamics of power and sex as it toys with our own expectations”…
After opening circle pits across the East Coast at last year’s Good Things, Alpha Wolf have just dropped details of their upcoming regional tour – and it’s an absolute monster! Terrible Days Across Australia 2025 will see them headline a mammoth 20 dates at locations across regional Australia. And the Aussie metalcore act won’t be…
Kauai, or “The Garden Isle” is a true gem of the Hawaiian Islands. It may be the state’s fourth largest island, but it hosts more beaches and hiking trails than any of the others. Known for its lush flora and fauna, it has set the scene for iconic movies such as Jurassic Park, Pirates of…
There’s a certain appeal of freedom that comes with the notion of freelancing. For most creatives, there’s the feeling of independence in choosing one’s own working conditions, and, to the more corporate minded nine-to-fivers, this may conjure a sense of envy in being able to escape certain confinements. Whilst this isn’t necessarily untrue, freelancing is…
The Prodigy are touring Australia. I honestly never thought I’d be writing that sentence again. The iconic, genre-less group last toured Australia just weeks before Keith Flint passed away in March 2019. With only Maxim, Liam and their keyboardist Leeroy left, it didn’t seem likely to see The Prodigy hit the stage again. And yet…

On Friday afternoon Brisbane’s Bruce Highway became jammed on all sides, as swarms of ticket holders descended on the city while CBD commuters fought to get out. Congesting every conceivable entry towards Milton’s Suncorp Stadium, fans were queuing early for the first stop on country mega star Luke Combs’s record breaking stadium tour of Australia….
Located in the charismatic James Hotel, Scarpetta holds court as one of Manhattan’s most reliable Italian restaurants, shouldering plenty of acclaim despite consistent competition from the likes of Torissi and the great Emilio’s Ballato. The restaurant opened in 2008 in the Meatpacking District to instant acclaim, glowing from a three-star review in The New York…
Amyl and The Sniffers on their Cartoon Darkness World tour played to a sold out Hordern Pavilion in Sydney. The fans dressed for the occasion in their best pub rock outfit or tiny bikini and they were there to mosh, crowd surf and singalong to Amyl and The Sniffers punk rock anthems. Lead singer Amy…
One in Sydney. One in Melbourne. L.A legend Ice Cube is no stranger to performing in Australia. He was just here two years ago with Cypress Hill, although he hadn’t been touring much before that. Anyone who saw Cube at those concerts would be surprised to hear he’s coming back so soon, and with a…
It’s no secret that Canberra punches above its modest weight. The food (and wine) is some of the best in the country, spoiled by the finest of both Victoria and New South Wales produce. Then you have the relaxed pace, barely-there traffic, world-class art and bucolic lifestyle. That’s one of the few things Melbourne and…
Xbox has hit the ground running in 2025 with its Developer Direct showcase, highlighting some of its biggest games set to land in 2025. We’ve unpacked every announcement from the show for you here.

When you live in Australia, summer means long, hot days, backyard BBQs, and—if you’re lucky—a dip in the pool to escape the heat. But if you’ve got a pool, you also know the struggle: leaves, bugs, and who-knows-what floating on the surface. That pool net is a daily demand, and it takes up a lot…
Based on Rachel Yoder’s acclaimed novel, Nightbitch tells of an artist who pauses her career to be a stay-at-home mother. Seeking a new chapter in her life, she encounters just that when her nightly routine takes a surreal turn and her maternal instincts begin to manifest in canine form. Brought to life to screen by…
Despite the fact that the recently released trailer made Nightbitch look more like a quirky comedy – think a female-drive, R-rated take on Tim Allen’s The Shaggy Dog – I can attest that Marielle Heller‘s take on Rachel Yoder‘s seemingly unadaptable 2021 novel of the same name is far from the laughable ridiculousness some may…
Orlando five piece Magnolia Park have just announced a new album, scheduled for release on April 11th. Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming VAMP!

Hailing from Melbourne, Aussie rockers Slowly Slowly have been making waves in the music scene for almost ten years. They’ve played a multitude of festivals, supported titans like Red Hot Chilli Peppers and have charted twice on Triple J’s Hottest 100, with their 2019 single “Jellyfish” coming in at #57. Today, they release their fifth…

Last in the country in 2018 and now on the precipice of releasing their fourth album, legends Shame are headed back to Australia for a run of headline, supporting and festival slots. Slotting in to replace Wunderhorse in support of Fontaines DC on their own headline national tour, the five-piece post-punk band from England are…
Regardless of how one feels about him personally, you can’t entirely deny that Mel Gibson knows how to direct a movie. Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ and Apocalypto are all, at worst, competently made features that speaks to a creative awareness of the craft. The Gibson that made those movies, however, isn’t anywhere to be…
There was a point when it came to initially reviewing Companion that I was thinking how difficult it would be to navigate around certain plot points, given that Drew Hancock‘s horror-leaning, sci-fi adjacent, romantic thriller bets on a particular narrative reveal. It’s one that I wasn’t dare going to spoil – I had the luck…
iRobot has always been the leader in robot vacuuming and mopping. The original is back to show the overly crowded marketplace just how well it can be done with the new Combo 10 Max. The all-in-one device has a dock that stores a vacuum bag, and clean and dirty water, while also being able to…
