Slowly Slowly Forgiving Spree 2025 Australian Tour With Special Guests Honey Revenge (USA) + Grayscale (USA)

Set to release their fifth studio album Forgiving Spree on Friday 24 January in 2025, today Australian indie rockers SLOWLY SLOWLY announce their Forgiving Spree Australian headline tour, with the quartet primed to journey across Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne next April, joined by special guests HONEY REVENGE (USA) for the East Coast shows, and GRAYSCALE (USA) for all five dates.
“It’s been a while between drinks—we couldn’t be more ecstatic to announce this homecoming tour. These are some serious rooms and we couldn’t think of a better way to drop punt our new album ‘Forgiving Spree’ off into the stratosphere. We are intent on making these shows feel both like huge spectacles, but also intensely intimate – join us for our biggest headlines to date, across our beloved home country after almost 18 months of time away. We can’t wait to see you.

Also, the icing on the cake is that we get to hang with our friends in Honey Revenge (US) and soon to be new best buds Grayscale (US). Who would have thought a little band from Melbourne Aus could bring an international bill together? Not us haha. We’ll have our work cut out for us keeping up with the immense talent on the stages each night.” – Ben Stewart, Slowly Slowly
An album tailor-made for a live setting, spurred by the excitement of SLOWLY SLOWLY‘s tour supporting their previous 2022 album Daisy Chain, Forgiving Spree encapsulates the quartet’s pop sensibilities with hip-shaking grooves, infectious melodies and choruses designed to induce mass live singalongs, while also brimming with lyrics laden with frontman Ben Stewart’s trademark rumination and clever wordplay.

With each new release, from 2016’s Chamomile through to 2018’s St Leonards, 2020’s Race Car Blues and 2022’s Daisy Chain, SLOWLY SLOWLY continue to seek beyond any creative comfort zones without sacrificing their core strengths, emerging time and time again with an engaging and unique mix of introspection, open-vein narratives and potent melancholia adjacent to sparkling pop sensibilities. Marking the band’s most adventurous chapter yet, Forgiving Spree spans influences including The Killers, Bruce Springsteen and John Farnham, while also nodding to the raw dynamics of the likes of Gang of Youths and Stand Atlantic.

Forming in 2015, SLOWLY SLOWLY have gone on to debut at #5 on the ARIA Albums Charts for 2022’s Daisy Chain, snag nominations for the AIR Awards, APRA Awards and triple j annual J Awards, and amass an army of adoring fans at home and abroad. Renowned for their world-class live show, SLOWLY SLOWLY have also previously supported Amy Shark, Stand Atlantic, and Ocean Alley, wowed in a headline setting around the world, and enamoured with countless festival appearances, including at Good Things Festival, Groovin’ The Moo and Splendour In The Grass.

American pop punk duo HONEY REVENGE exploded onto the scene in 2021, with their buzzy debut single Miss Me bursting with colourful hooks only surpassed by the band’s own aesthetic. Inspired by You Me At Six, Demi Lovato, the edgier moments of Katy Perry, and Paramore, HONEY REVENGE released their debut album Retrovision in 2023, with an extended version releasing earlier this year including new and re-imagined tracks. In a short space of time, HONEY REVENGE have toured with The Used, Loveless and Stand Atlantic, and will be adding plenty of their own kaleodiscopic charisma to SLOWLY SLOWLY‘s Forgiving Spree tour next April in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

Philadelphia rockers GRAYSCALE weave pop, alt rock and punk with raw emotion, balancing anthemic moments with vivid vulnerability. A band who can simultaneously tug on your heartstrings and incite your dancing shoes, GRAYSCALE filter life’s highs and lows into a multi-faceted end result, with their fourth studio album The Hart due out on January 31, once again driven by the group’s commitment to creative authenticity. Actively touring and making music since forming in 2016, GRAYSCALE have toured the globe over the years, sharing stages with The Band Camino, The Maine, Gym Class Heroes and All Time Low, with their cult-like following booming with each new release and/or performance.

With guaranteed singalongs on the cards, as well as plenty of heart-bursting beauty and catharsis, come and join SLOWLY SLOWLY taking their fifth album on the road in 2025.

CAVALERA Third World Trilogy Australian Tour with guests ALGOR MORTIS

Cavalera is a name with its fingerprints all over the history of heavy metal, an inspiring family legacy built upon decades of musical aggression, starting all the way back in 1984 in Brazil with Sepultura. Over the last couple of years, Max and Iggor Cavalera revisited their first three releases, Morbid Visions, Bestial Devastation, and Schizophrenia,re-recording them for Nuclear Blast Records with a new level of intensity that impossibly captures the raw, youthful and trademark sounds of these iconic and pioneering releases. January 2025 will see them bring the songs that laid the groundwork for not just their own legacy, but that of both the death and thrash metal genres, to Australia for a series of live offerings that will add yet another chapter to their non-stop commitment to extreme metal.

Joining them on all dates will be the quickly rising Algor Mortis, who have been spewing forth a nasty amalgamation of brutal death metal and beatdown hardcore from the guts of Melbourne’s underground that culminated in 2023’s Stages of Death, a powerful and guttural offering that saw the band quickly signed to the cult US death metal label Maggot Stomp.

You won’t want to miss this once in a lifetime experience of rejuvenated extreme metal history.

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”

With over 3.2million views, relive Fatboy Slim’s iconic ‘Live at Sidney Myer Music Bowl (Jan 2020)’, filmed by Mushroom Creative House. 

‘Fatboy Slim, aka Norman Cook, delivered an epic slab of electronic dance music in a DJ set that was either one two-hour track or 120-minute-long bops that careened into each other … We became thousands left standing in a field, heading off to eat, sleep or rave on. ​ It was a night I’d be happy to repeat’ – Sydney Morning Herald 
 
‘Despite his mega stardom and intense stage presence Fatboy Slim is quite endearing…he has a goofy persona evident as he delved into his delightful musical scrapbook during his two-hour set … He’s proved he’s still at the top of his game.’ – The West Australian 

About Fatboy Slim ​
​Fatboy Slim, aka Norman Cook, entered the UK acid house scene in the ‘90s. Early success came with the release of hit singles ‘Everybody Needs a 303’ and ‘Going Out of My Head’, taken from Better Living Through Chemistry. Soon after came ‘The Rockafeller Skank’, a precursor for hit album You’ve Come A Long Way Baby, which delivered his first UK #1 in ‘Praise You’, as well as club banger ‘Right Here Right Now’, which peaked at #2. Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars followed, featuring ‘Weapon of Choice’, with an unmissable video directed by Spike Jonze and starring Christopher Walken dancing in an empty hotel lobby. It’s widely regarded as one of the best music videos of all time, having won several awards, including a Grammy for Best Music Video. ​ 

Cook took things to another level again with the undeniably huge ‘Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat’, and more recently with massive singles like ‘Where U Iz’, ‘Boom F**king Boom’, ‘Praise You (Purple Disco Machine Extended Remix)’, Rita Ora ‘Praising You (feat. Fatboy Slim)’ and 2024’s ‘Role Model (feat.Dan Diamond and Luca Guerrieri)’, check out the official video here. ​ ​ 

In 2022, Fatboy Slim released‘Right Here, Right Then’, a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the infamous Big Beach Boutique (album out now via BMG Australia – here) and 2024’s Palookaville (Deluxe). 

With 10 MTV VMAs, two Brit Awards and a Grammy, numerous high-profile Ibiza residencies, a Beats 1 Radio Show, a record 20 consecutive years playing at Glastonbury, and even a show on The Great Wall of China, it’s no surprise Fatboy Slim has a reputation as one of the most consistently popular DJs and producers on the planet. A party lover through and through, Cook is fuelled by the joy of his audience, which becomes a feedback loop of energy at every show that sends the vibe through the roof. ​ 

20 years after those historic, era-defining gatherings, Norman continues to push the envelope and remain one of the most in demand DJ’s and purveyor of quality beats in the world. ​ ​

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.

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.

Interview with Jordan Dreyer (La Dispute)

Post-hardcore band LA DISPUTE commemorates the 10th anniversary of their acclaimed 2014 album “Rooms Of The House”, with a one off Australian show in Sydney this November as part of their exclusive global tour which will see the band perform the album in full, along with selections from their catalog. The Michigan five-piece band will perform at Sydney’s Roundhouse on Friday 22nd November, marking the final night of their ‘2024 Five Nights Only Tour’ which includes stops in London, Amsterdam, Berlin and Grand Rapids. These shows will mark not just their only “Rooms of the House” anniversary shows, but their only remaining headlining shows for the entirety of 2024, as they continue preparations for a new album. 

My Live Nation members can secure tickets first during the exclusive pre-sale beginning Wednesday 20th March at 10am concluding on Friday 22nd March at 9am.

For complete tour and ticket information visit livenation.com.au.

La Dispute is a five-piece from Grand Rapids, Michigan responsible for some of the most uncompromising, experimental post-hardcore music of the last two decades. Through four full length records—Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair (2008), Wildlife (2011), Rooms of the House (2014), and their most recent PANORAMA (2019), released by Epitaph Records, as well as its on-going Here, Hear EP series—La Dispute have continued to push themselves stylistically release to release, evolving through the incorporation of new sounds, themes, and approaches while remaining unmistakably La Dispute in the process.

Lyrically, PANORAMA serves as a return to early form, trading the fictionalised characters of their previous two albums for a personal meditation on life, loss, and recovery in the form of a half-dreamt, half-real drive along an important stretch of highway in their hometown. Instrumentally, PANORAMA is their most diverse effort, using layers of additional production and instrumentation to create an ethereal yet still intense accompaniment to the vision-filled car ride the lyrics discuss. 

Following successful tours in 2022 and 2023 revisiting their seminal album Wildlife, the band has begun the process of writing their fifth as-yet untitled full length album and looks forwards to playing more shows and connecting with fans worldwide along the way. After nearly two full decades crafting inventive post-hardcore, La Dispute remains driven by their passion for art, live performance, and for the community that surrounds it.

Don’t miss their Australian show as they perform for one night only in Sydney this November.
