ARCH ENEMY Announce February 2023 Australian and NZ Tour
ARCH ENEMY are bigger and better than ever.
Delivering a maelstrom of diamond-hard riffing wrapped around cinematic melodies, thunderous drumming and towering vocals, ARCH ENEMY are unstoppable and sound incredibly energized and they are headed back to Australia and New Zealand in February 2023.
Here’s how we hailed the band’s new album Deceivers– “May Arch Enemy’s new album Deceivers be the soundtrack to your weekend with your air guitar strapped on tight.”
With Alissa White-Gluz out front for nearly ten years now, the guitar wizardry of Michael Amott and Jeff Loomis, and the thundering rhythm section of Daniel Erlandsson (drums) and Sharlee D’Angelo (bass), Arch Enemy sound fresh and hungry, continually proving they are masters of their craft.
“Arch Enemy was spectacular. Alissa is a ball of energy who never stops moving, jumping here and there, and headbanging her blue hair.” Metal Wani
“… the pure force that is Arch Enemy.” Heavy Mag
“Arch Enemy do PURE FU*KING METAL and they do it to the highest standard possible” Wall of Sound

THE CHARLATANS Announce ‘Best Of’ Australian Tour
THE CHARLATANS: A Head Full Of Ideas, 30th 32nd Anniversary ‘Best Of’ Australian Tour
“A well and truly show-stopping, spectacular montage of brilliant, classic, passionate and innovative songs. It’s no wonder the Charlatans have stood the test of time.” Allmusic Magazine
“We love playing Australia” Tim Burgess.
One of the UK’s most enduring and best-loved bands THE CHARLATANS return to Australia for their 30th 32nd anniversary tour.
Their setlist includes – The Only One I Know, Jesus Hairdo, Sproston Green, Then, Weirdo, Can’t Get Out of Bed, One to Another, North Country Boy, How High, Plastic Machinery, Love is the Key, Just Thinkin’ Things Over, Blackened Blue Eyes, I Never Want an Easy Life + More
In a remarkable and genre-bursting career, indie legends THE CHARLATANS have notched up thirteen Top 40 studio albums. The rollercoaster highs have been accompanied by some shattering lows, any which one of them could have felled a less resilient band, from nervous breakdowns to near bankruptcy and the deaths of two founder members.
Somehow, they have not just carried on but adapted and transformed many times over the years. The classic Charlatans sound – driving Hammond organ, Northern Soul and house-influenced rhythms, swaggering guitars, and Tim Burgess’s sunny yet somehow yearning vocal – is instantly recognizable.
And in spite of everything they have been through their music is now more relevant than ever, The Guardian described their most recent album ‘Different Days’ (2017) as “one of their best ever”.
During the pandemic, Tim Burgess was hosting album listening parties on Twitter which culminated in a best-selling book, The Listening Party.
The concept is simple. At a set time, you press play on the selected album and the band then live tweets along to the record, giving fans an insight into the chosen LP.
Everyone from Oasis to Iron Maiden and Kylie Minogue to Paul McCartney has taken part.
However, it’s back to the ‘day job’ for THE CHARLATANS’ frontman when he returns to Australia with Martin Blunt, Mark Collins, and Tony Rogers to play the indie hits which have defined their astounding 32-year career.
THE CHARLATANS have seen off Madchester and Britpop and made music that’s stood the test of time. That along with their amazing live shows has cemented them a passionate and loyal following that has given them lasting success… ‘simply a quality band with a great back catalogue, great current stuff, and phenomenal live musicians.’
“It’s full capacity in here, it’s rammed, everyone’s jumping, dancing, and feeling the magical vibes this band creates.” Allmusic Magazine
