In what seems something of a break from tradition, Brisbane four-piece Dead Letter Circus have been revealed today as the second band to play the iconic Soundwave Festival in 2016.

On the off chance you missed Virgin Australia’s happy hour deal last night, which saw discounted USA flights for February 2016, United Airlines are giving you the weekend to get your hands on a discounted fare that will take you to the USA through three departure periods, for $1099 round trip* (economy booking class only)….
Nostalgia. It’s a powerful thing. And when handled correctly by an entertainment industry often void of new ideas, it can mean big bucks. This year’s Jurassic World, which was released almost 14 years after the last film in the series, and 22 years since the original Park, seems to have nailed it, at least commercially,…
Getting in and out of Toronto’s Pearson International Airport can be a bit of a pain. Though a new express train service installed for the Pan Am Games in June has made the process of getting in and out a slightly less tiresome affair, it remains an expensive one. Luckily, for some routes, another airport…

Though the next Record Store Day may be a while away yet (16th April 2016! Not that we’re counting…), believe it or not but for the rest of the year Record Stores continue to be amazing. They deliver incredible product, unique experiences for their customers, often run their own labels and even showcase artists themselves….
The idea of the interactive theatre experience is nothing new. From “whodunit” dinner parties to whatever it is people get up to at those Rocky Horror screenings, there’s always been a market for those of us who want to feel a part of the action. Even sitting front row at a comedy show brings out…
For Star Wars fans, December could not come quickly enough – because that’s when the J. J. Abrams’ helmed The Force Awakens (aka Episode VII) will hit cinemas. Set 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi, the film will focus on a new set of characters, while bringing us some quality nostalgia with…
One of the most talked about presentations at Disney’s D23 Expo over the weekend has been that from Marvel Studios, who helped introduce us to the two films that will kick off “Stage Three” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) next year: Doctor Strange, preceded by the third Captain America film Civil War.
If you are in Australia and watch Last Week Tonight with John Oliver – HBO’s weekly hilarious news series – chances are you were told to call a number which, being in Australia, wasn’t possible to call. Well, thankfully, this is the internet and someone else has done that job for you. Here’s what happened when…
Today we’re excited to bring you the exclusive premiere from alt-pop singer, songwriter and dancer Leo Rose. The track is the artist’s third single, entitled “LOVE?”, the end of a trilogy of songs “about self-actualisation and self discovery”. The excitingly original track starts out trap-like, before returning to his roots a little over halfway through,…
Last week, we returned home following an incredible trip to Canada that ended with a weekend in Edmonton for the 36th Annual Edmonton Folk Music Festival. Surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the riverside city, and perched on natural ampitheatres against almost all of the festival’s seven stages, there was a comfort and beauty to…

It was perhaps a destiny Disney signed into action the minute they took over the iconic franchise – but it still has us very, very excited. As Universal Studios has done with the Harry Potter series’ Wizarding World, Disneyland will be expanding both Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios in Florida and Disneyland in Anaheim, California, to…
In addition to Star Wars Land, which was also announced today at Disney’s D23 Expo in California, Orlando’s Hollywood Studios will be seeing another 11 acre expansion in the form of Toy Story Land. Unlike Star Wars Land, however, Toy Story Land has already been a tested formula among Disney Parks in Paris and Hong…
When the first Hitman movie was released in 2007, it received an abysmal 14% on Rotten Tomatoes. Somewhat surprisingly, Fox decided to try again with the brand and announced a “reboot” of the series in 2013. Now, Hitman: Agent 47 is set for a release – this week in the USA and next week here in Australia…
Though the Australian tabloids pretty much ruined this surprise announcement earlier in the year, when Orlando Bloom was spotted in and around Gold Coast where they were filming the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film, Dead Man Tell No Tales, Disney confirmed at their D23 Expo today that yes – Will Turner is back. IGN reported…
As it had long been rumoured, Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow has been officially confirmed at the Disney D23 Expo to be the man in charge of the final film in the new Star Wars Trilogy, the yet-to-be-named Episode IX. Trevorrow is surely one of the most sought after Directors in Hollywood right now, after revitalising…

This weekend in California, Disney are holding their annual D23 Expo, bringing with them a slew of announcements and presentations from Kingdom Hearts to Marvel, Star Wars to Pixar.

Vinyl – HBO’s new series from Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger and Terence Winter (Boardwalk Empire) – is set to take us into the sex and drugs fuelled rock n’ roll lifestyle of the 1970’s. And with the new trailer, it looks like we should get ourselves set for some stylised mayhem that would make Guy Ritchie proud, a…
Hot off the heels of the announcements over the past few months of a new series of X-Files, a 24 reboot (sans Jack Bauer) and a TV version of Minority Report, it seems that Fox – the TV network who over the years have brought us the likes of game changing series like Arrested Development and…
