TECH N9NE Announces March 2025 Australia and New Zealand Tour With Special Guest Joey Cool
Multi-platinum Hip-Hop Legend and the most Successful Independent Rapper of all-time, TECH N9NE returns to Australia and New Zealand in March 2025 with Special Guest Joey Cool
TECH N9NE is a beast. His ferocious “double time” rapping (rapping twice as fast as the beat without the loss of lyrical cadence) has made him a force to be reckon with since the 90’s. Combine that with his dynamic stage presence and boundary-pushing music, make a TECH N9NE show unlike anything else.
Independent to the core, TECH N9NE has hit the road relentlessly averaging 100 live shows a year! TECH says that after all these years and shows he owes his growing success to his fans – whom he considers “family”.
In 2022 Tech had massive success with ‘Face Off’ which included the rap debut for Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson alongside King ISO and Joey Cool. Rising Kansas City rap phenom, Joey Cool is being hailed as “hidden Gem” within the confines of Strange Music’s diverse roster of talent and will join Tech on this 2025 Tour
TECH N9NE’s live shows feel like a giant party… “its just pure adrenaline”. With the crowd hanging onto his every movement, TECH masterfully guides them through the evening of sonic chaos, feeding off the madness unleashing before his very eyes. No one puts on a show like TECH N9NE. If you haven’t seen TECH N9NE live, now is your chance to fix your mistake. If have already, this is another chance to witness one of the greatest live shows in Hip-Hop, period.
“Tech N9ne’s set was a masterclass in rap showmanship. It was filled with impeccable lyricism, a high-energy performance, and a strong bond between him and his fans”

FINNEAS (USA) announces Australia and New Zealand headline shows | JANUARY 2025
In exciting news today for fans, Ten-time GRAMMY® and two-time Academy Award winner FINNEAS is set to return Down Under in January 2025 with For Cryin’ Out Loud! : The Tour, four exclusive shows in Auckland – marking his first solo show in New Zealand – Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne. Presented by Frontier Touring and Live Nation, the tour news follows the release of his highly anticipated sophomore album For Cryin’ Out Loud! (Interscope Records), due out October 4.
Renowned for his timeless pop structures and cutting-edge sound, FINNEAS has captivated fans worldwide thanks to his rich, warm melodies and experimental expertise. No stranger to our shores, these will be his first live dates in the region since February 2023, a visit which saw him selling out two Sydney and Melbourne shows in mere minutes and conquering stages nationwide as one of the headliners of Laneway Festival.
The multiple GRAMMY® and Academy Award winner pushes his creative boundaries even further on his second album, the follow-up to acclaimed 2021 debut Optimist. Steering things away from the solo bedroom producer mentality and to a classic studio and band environment, For Cryin’ Out Loud! sees FINNEAS deliver his most uplifting body of work to date. Born out of live studio sessions in Los Angeles, the producer recorded his new songs live with close friends and peers, as heard on the album’s emotive 10 tracks.
Fans got their first taste of For Cryin’ Out Loud! last month with the title track: listen here. Current single ‘Cleats’ is out now – watch the video here.
Back in August, FINNEAS had the honour of unveiling two new guitar models as part of his Signature Acoustasonic Collection with icons Fender. In October, he’ll celebrate his new solo release with three intimate performances in Los Angeles, London and Brooklyn, before heading to AU/NZ in the new year.
Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Wednesday 2 October (4pm local time). Fans can sign up for early access to tickets via the Artist Presale – head to shop.finneasofficial.com. Mastercard cardholders have special access to presale tickets, with the Mastercard Presale starting Monday 30 September (3pm local) – check out priceless.com/music for details.

ABOUT FINNEAS
Multi-Academy® and GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer FINNEAS has quietly emerged as an unassumingly ubiquitous presence in popular music and culture. He introduced a heartfelt and hypnotic style on 2019’s debut Blood Harmony EP highlighted by the gold-certified “Let’s Fall in Love for the Night”. 2021 saw him unveil his full-length debut, The Optimist [Interscope Records]. It arrived to widespread acclaim. He packed houses on headline tours and performed at festivals such as Coachella. His catalog grew to encompass popular collaborations with Ashe, Ringo Starr, and Lizzy McAlpine in addition to producing and/or co-writing tracks Justin Bieber, Halsey, Demi Lovato, Kid Cudi, girl in red, James Bay, Selena Gomez, Camila Cabello, and Tove Lo. He achieved stratospheric success for his work with his sister Billie Eilish, including ten GRAMMY® Awards, headline sets at Coachella and Glastonbury, two Academy® and Golden Globe® Awards both in the category of “Best Original Song” for “No Time To Die” from No Time To Die and “What Was I Made For?” for Barbie. He expanded his oeuvre as a sought-after composer, with a filmography boasting original scores for HBO Max’s award-winning The Fallout and BJ Novak’s Vengeance. In 2022, on behalf of the Disney PIXAR animated hit Turning Red, he wrote the music for the film’s boyband 4*Town. In 2023, he co-wrote and produced the critically acclaimed song “What Was I Made For?” for the Greta Gerwig-directed feature-length Barbie, which earned him his second Academy® Award for Best Original Song and won two GRAMMY® Awards (Best Song Written For Visual Media and Song Of The Year) as well as a Golden Globe Award (Best Original Song). FINNEAS has also scored the Apple Original series Disclaimer, a new psychological thriller from the multi-Academy Award-winning director, writer, producer, cinematographer and editor Alfonso Cuarón. Yet still, after the many accolades and achievements in his career to date, his curiosity, excitement, and love for what he does continues to shine through in his highly anticipated sophomore solo album, For Cryin’ Out Loud! (out Oct 4 on Interscope Records). It’s the result of gathering a handful of friends, heading to the studio as a band, and making music the good old-fashioned way, and it’s as glorious as anything he’s ever done.

CABAL Release Brand New Song ‘Still Cursed’
Having recently returned from their 4th US tour and after a summer of collaborations across both electronic/industrial (Reworks EP) and rap (Sort Sommer) CABAL are back with their unique blend of industrial tinged deathcore to prove they are ‘Still Cursed‘. The single features vocalist Aaron Matts of TEN56. and is released to coincide with CABAL’s appearance on the Nordic Invasion tour with AVIANA amongst others this September.
Singer Andreas Bjulver comments: “We are beyond excited to share our new single ‘Still Cursed’ with you all. Anyone who’s ever dealt with clinical depression knows that it’s a constant battle that isn’t just won once, but has to be battled continuously, in many cases daily and can make you feel like you’re always going one step forward and two steps back. ‘Still Cursed’ is the for everyone who’s ever felt that pain and knows how it feels to being close to giving up. The track is also a glimpse into a new sonic direction for the band and features our very good friend Aaron Matts from the French metalcore heavyweights Ten56.”
Stream ‘Still Cursed‘ here: https://cabal.bfan.link/still-cursed.ema
Watch the video of ‘Still Cursed’ here: https://youtu.be/OOHkCRAr9FM
CABAL has through the years proved themselves as one of the heaviest and most uncompromising metal acts hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark.
The bands sound is visceral and destructive and aims to bring forth absolute chaos by drawing inspiration from everything from crushing death metal, contemporary metallic hardcore and metalcore to unnerving soundscapes and dark electronic music.
Since the release of their first album in 2018 the band toured most of the planet, from Europe and North America to Japan and Australia, as well as renowned festivals like, Roskilde Festival, Copenhell, Summer Slaughter, Brutal Assault and many more, and they have no intention of slowing down.
All of the above combined with features from some of the modern metal scenes most prominent names like; Matt Heafy from TRIVIUM, Jamie Hails from POLARIS and Joe Bad from FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY, the band has shown the world that Denmark has something to offer when it comes to bone crushing heaviness.
CABAL is:
Andreas Bjulver Paarup – Vocals
Christian Hammer Mattesen – Guitars
Chris Kreutzfeldt – Guitars
Lui Broch Larsen – Guitars
Dennis Hursid – Bass
Nikolaj Kaae Kirk – Drums

City and Colour announces Australian tour with Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats for January 2025
In a huge coup, acclaimed Canadian singer, songwriter and performer City and Colour announces he will tour Australia in January 2025, alongside dynamic US eight-piece Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats.
Playing shows from coast to coast, City and Colour will kick off an all ages* tour at Brisbane’s iconic Riverstage on Tuesday 14 January, before heading through Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. Local legend Alex Lahey will support on the East Coast and Adelaide dates, while Caitlin Harnett & The Pony Boys will warm audiences in Perth.
Frontier Members can access presale tickets from 10am local time on Tuesday 24 September, before the general public onsale opens at 11am local time on Wednesday 25 September. Head to frontiertouring.com/ccnr for more information.
Having toured Canada together earlier this year to incredible acclaim, City and Colour and Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats are ready to deliver their extraordinary live show to audiences down under.
On his last nationwide tour of Australia in 2023, City and Colour played intimate venues that sold out immediately, along with a string of appearances at SummerSalt Festival, stunning audiences with his trademark vocals, raw honesty and dialogue, talents that have endeared him to music lovers around the world since City and Colour’s inception in 2005. 2025 will mark Green’s nineteenth tour of Australia, having previously visited ten times as City and Colour, and another eight times with the band Alexisonfire.
City and Colour released his critically praised seventh studio album The Love Still Held Me Near last year.
Over the course of seven studio albums, City and Colour has compiled a canon ripe with songs born of adoration and devotion, amassing a legion of dedicated fans worldwide and garnering him three JUNOs, including two Songwriter of the Year awards, plus multiple triple, double, platinum and gold certifications in his native Canada.
One of the most recognisable forces in contemporary rock ‘n roll, eight-piece Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats are an undeniable live act, most recently in Australia in 2023.
Since 2015, Rateliff has led his denim-clad, horn-flanked Night Sweats to stages across the globe, leaving awed audiences in their wake. Their combustible mix of soul and rock quickly cemented them as a rare generational band who balances ecstatic live shows with engrossing and rich records.
South Of Here, the fourth Night Sweats album reckons with a lifetime of pain and trauma and transforms it into a stirring and soul-baring rumination on love, loss, hope and resolve. Following And It’s Still Alright, Rateliff’s beloved 2020 solo LP, and The Future, The Night Sweat’s acclaimed 2021 release, the new album blends both sides of his immense talent: emotionally potent, vivid storytelling and the rugged, R&B revivalism that has powered the band to world-wide acclaim over the past decade.
Unrivalled talents, don’t miss City and Colour with Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats when they tour Australia together for the very first time in January.
