Dua Lipa’s 2025 Radical Optimism tour stop at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment the lights dimmed, the crowd knew they were in for a night to remember. The British pop sensation effortlessly brought her infectious energy and unmistakable style to the stage, delivering a performance that lived up…
Neck Deep is one of the most exciting bands in the pop-punk scene right now, and it only takes one listen to their 2024 self-titled album to understand why. From Wales, the band formed in 2012, and since then has released five albums and toured consistently, selling out massive headline shows and playing alongside pop-punk titans…
Where’s the best place to stay in Los Angeles? In a city so annoyingly spread out, being strategic about where to stay in L.A. is important. The city’s famously horrendous traffic isn’t something you’d want to contend with, and it can take over an hour to get from somewhere like Downtown L.A. to Venice. Getting…
Nelly’s legacy is an interesting one when we’re discussing hip hop’s most successful ambassadors. When the born-and-bred St Louis representer came out with his debut single, “Country Grammar,” in June 2020, the charts responded immediately. This was at a time when Ja Rule figured out trying to sing with that unmistakably croaky voice could earn…
Watching something like Mid-Century Modern you’re reminded of both the golden age of the multi-cam, live audience classicality of a sitcom, as well as the shift in televisual consumption, with this nostalgic itch-scratching firecracker of a show taking advantage of its streaming setting with boundary-pushing humour and considerable profanity; once you hear the stupendous Linda…
If there’s one thing about our Nicole Kidman, it’s that she’s going to work! Fresh off three of last year’s buzziest shows (Expats, Lioness and The Perfect Couple) and a criminally Oscar-oversighted performance in the erotic drama Babygirl, the perennially busy actress/producer is at the centre of another twisted thriller of sorts in Prime Video’s…
There’s really no other way to put it; it’s a good time to be a Nintendo fan. That being said, fans will have to wait just a little longer for news on the Nintendo Switch 2, via another Nintendo Direct next week on Wednesday, the 2nd of April or Thursday, the 3rd of April, depending…
We’re updating our Discovery playlist on Spotify and Apple Music for the final time this month.

We’ve been covering Aussie author Helen Scheuerer here for a hot minute, all the way back to debut series The Oremere Chronicles – and yes, I remain a devoted Swinton girlie. So we were naturally very excited when Scheuerer announced Iron & Embers, the first in The Ashes of Thezmarr series, and her first novel with…
Ruby Gill sounds like one of the greats of a far gone era. An artist whose voice and style transcends generations and populations. Similar to contemporaries like Laura Marling, Julia Jacklin or Angie McMahon, Gill has a calming and yet forceful delivery across all of her music. This is evident here on her second album…
Based on the iconic 1992 movie starring Whoopi Goldberg, Sister Act, The Musical launched in Adelaide to an enthusiastic reception. Everything about this production is big, bold, brash and beautiful. The story is as fresh as when the movie was released. Casey Donovan stars as Deloris Van Cartier, a singer in a club managed by…
Skyrocketing to fame with their smash-hit “How to Save a Life”, The Fray quickly became a defining voice of the early 2000s. Over the course of more than two decades, they’ve enjoyed a long but measured career, with only four studio albums, yet a steady stream of massive chart-topping singles. In 2022, lead vocalist Isaac…
At this point you know what you’re going to get with a Jason Statham vehicle, and when it’s one penned by Sylvester Stallone and directed by David Ayer (who, in addition to such actioners as Suicide Squad and End of Watch, was behind last year’s Statham surprise The Beekeeper), you shouldn’t be remotely taken aback…
After changing the way network television viewed queer comedy with their revolutionary sitcom Will & Grace, creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick are set to alter the landscape of the streaming space with Mid-Century Modern, a classic multi-cam comedy series about old friends, new roommates and chosen family. Executive produced by Ryan Murphy, directed by…
The world is fascinated with missing girls. They are the subjects of true crime podcasts and countless movies and tv shows, and of course, novels. But, in Down the Rabbit Hole, debut author Shaeden Berry offers readers something a little deeper than the usual small-town thriller featuring a missing persons case. Down the Rabbit Hole…
We always get very excited when we are premiering the debut single for an artist, and today we have the absolute joy in showcasing “Free Man”, the first single from Perth’s country/rock band, The Southern Dukes. Like all good country rock songs, this one tells a tale, and it’s a mighty fine tale indeed. “Free…
I think one of the most noticeable things about growing up is what you pay attention to in your home. You’re no longer focused on saving up that latest piece of home technology or buying expensive art pieces. And while those things are nice if you’ve got the money, maturing is realising that it’s those…
Brisbane’s live music scene is gearing up for one of its biggest seasons yet, with Open Season 2025 set to deliver an electrifying mix of world-class performances, homegrown talent, and unforgettable live experiences this winter.

As someone who grew up with the Looney Tunes, there’s certainly a sense of nostalgic warmth when watching something as unapologetically wacky (and 2D) as Looney Tunes: The Day the Earth Blew Up. Nostalgia only takes you so far though, and as much as The Day the Earth Blew Up is a bombastically entertaining cartoon…
While busy touring the globe, Lime Cordiale have announced their most ambitious tour to date. The group are set to reimagine their indie-pop anthems with a symphonic twist, teaming up with some of Australia’s leading orchestras, starting in August of this year. Lime Cordiale with the Symphony Orchestras will see the Leimbach brothers bring their…
Given that he’s experienced his own health problems over the last few years, it would seem Paul Schrader is a man reflecting on his own mortality if Oh, Canada is anything to go by, the filmmaker’s fourth effort in almost as many years. Reuniting with his own American Gigolo, Richard Gere, Oh, Canada centres around…
Whilst there is a certain “inside baseball”-like mentality to The Studio – the Seth Rogen–Evan Goldberg-created comedy series about the moving and shaking of a new film studio head and his attempt to salvage the newly acquired company’s evidently floundering reputation – such is the genius of Rogen and Goldberg’s handling (the duo co-directing each…
Following a string of memorable performances at major international festivals last summer, including Glastonbury Festival (UK), Rock in Rio Lisbon (Portugal), and Tinderbox Festival (Denmark), Camila Cabello will kick off the Yours, C tour in Marbella, Spain, before hitting Australia this August.

The knives (and forks) are out in Victoria Brownlee’s new novel Eat Your Heart Out, which blends romance, comedy, and a hearty splash of mystery to create one delicious dish.

After its initial November 12, 2024 release date was pushed back to February and then again to March 2025, it stands to reason that Assassin’s Creed Shadows might have gained a little heat as far as expectations were concerned. After all, it’s a wonder it even took this long for the series to reach feudal…
