Incubus Australia Tour With Special Guests Antemasque & Le Butcherettes


Iconic rock gods, Incubus are unparalleled in their ability to shift moods and textures at the drop of a dime, proving that they have become a rare thing: a modern rock band that actually grows and improves with each album.

Through their double decade-long rise to the top, Incubus have notched up over 13 million album sales and have amassed an arsenal of sing-a-long hits including Drive, Nice To Know You, Wish You Were Here, Are You In?, Pardon Me, Megalomaniac, A Certain Shade Of Green... come on, you know you're guilty of belting out any one of these tunes on a drunken Karaoke night!.

The musical genius of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala formerly of At The Drive In and The Mars Volta, needs no introduction! During the 90's, as members of At The Drive In, the pair raised the bar on the post hardcore genre with the release of their third (and final) album Relationship of Command to critical acclaim; an album now regarded as one of the most influential rock albums of the 90's.

In 2001 they teamed up again and the Prog-rock experimentation of The Mars Volta was unleashed! The band went on to release 6 studio albums with the single Wax Simulacra earning the band a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.

Fast forward to 2014 and the creative collaboration appears in its newest incarnation, ANTEMASQUE. With the release of their debut self-titled album mid 2014, ANTEMASQUE again proved themselves as the masters of musical diversity. The band spent the latter half of the year touring the US and Europe, bringing their unmistakable live intensity and a vibe that's virtually unmatchable!

"the performance thrived with punk energy like a bull in a china shop playing 70s prog." - consequenceofsound
"Like true rock stars, ANTEMASQUE left the stage with fans wanting more." - examiner.com

Mexican garage-punk trio Le Butcherettes are like the brilliant offspring of surrealist Luis Bunuel and intrepid rock icon PJ Harvey with the band's songs and wildly cathartic live shows often drawing comparisons to Karen-O, Patti Smith and Bikini Kill.

Renowned for their electrifying and anything goes live performances; they have toured the US with The Flaming Lips, Omar Rodriguez Lopez and Jane's Addiction and performed at countless festivals including Lollapalooza, Coachella, Fun Fun Fun Fest and many more.

"Le Butcherettes are never to be missed and are heretofore not to be ignored. Utterly stunning." - sfweekly

Good Charlotte - Sydney & Melbourne Gigs 2012


Look out fans; this September will be just like your birthday, when Good Charlotte bring their anthems back to Australia. Following the success of last years sell out tour, the band will play both Melbourne and Sydney before they head to Newcastle to play Fat As Butter Festival.

After eleven years, five studio albums, 10 million album sales and a shelf full of music and video awards, Good Charlotte’s return to Oz promises to be anything but forgettable.

Iconic tracks like ‘Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous’ and ‘The Anthem’, hit the up tempo hearts of fans to keep them moving. While their last studio album Cardiology, captured both a more personal side of writing, mixed with some of their biggest party anthem hits, including ‘Last Night’, ‘Sex on the Radio’ and ‘Like It’s Her Birthday’.

After a hectic couple of months residing in Australia and starring in Channel Nine’s The Voice, brothers Joel and Benji have returned to the States for a short time, to begin work on their debut album as The Madden Brothers (2013 release) before heading back to Australia.

With such a strong affiliation with Australia, audiences can rest assured Joel, Benji, Billy and Dean will conjure a party not to be missed!

Marilyn Manson Australian Tour 2012 – Soundwave Sidewaves

Marilyn Manson has announced Australian tour dates on the back of their appearance on the Soundwave 2012 line-up next year. They’ll be doing 3 sideshows at Eaton Hill Hotel in Brisbane, Enmore Theatre in Sydney and Metro City in Perth, with Coal Chamber and Wednesday 13 and Motionless in White.

Very rarely does an artist come along that defies the boundaries of convention and remains relevant in a storied career spanning over two decades, selling in excess of 50 million albums. Marilyn Manson has successfully pioneered ‘Shock Rock’ whilst redefining alternative music, blazing a trail of controversy and originality.

Joining Manson will be the recently reformed Coal Chamber. Disbanding at the peak of their career in 2002, Coal Chamber will be joining the Soundwave tour as well as Manson on his Sidewaves.

Forming whilst on hiatus with Murderdolls, Wednesday 13 has firmly cemented himself as the leader in Horrorpunk. With an unruly live show of fun and debauchery.

With a blend of intense melodic metal and a penchant for the macabre, Motionless in White is taking the metal world by storm. Their spectacular debut album Creatures has fans and critics alike singing their praises.

TIM MCGRAW AND FAITH HILL AUSTRALIAN TOUR - MARCH 2012



Country music's reigning king and queen, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill will tour Australia for the first time together next March, promoters Rob Potts Entertainment Edge and Chugg Entertainment announced today.

The Tim McGraw & Faith Hill / Australia 2012 tour will be the first time the country music superstars have toured together outside of North America, will be Hill’s first time touring Australia and will include them performing separately and together.

It will feature their massive hits including McGraw’s Live Like You Were Dying, Everywhere, Real Good Man andHill’s Breathe, This Kiss and The Way You Love Me, as well as duets It’s Your Love, Let’s Make Love and I Need You.

In addition to their already-announced headlining performance at CMC Rocks the Hunter, the six-concert tour will play a night in each Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, and two nights in Brisbane.

Tim McGraw & Faith Hill / Australia 2012 will mark almost five years since the power couple last toured together and will be only the fourth time they have ever done it – first in 2000, then 2006 and 2007.

The 2006/2007 tours made theirs the highest-grossing country music tour of all time, and the highest-grossing that year, full stop, beating out the likes of Madonna, Tom Petty and Crosby, Stills & Nash.

The long-awaited Tim McGraw & Faith Hill / Australia 2012 tour kicks off at the Burswood Dome in Perth on Wednesday 14 March, plays the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Friday 16 March, CMC Rocks the Hunter on Sunday 18 March, the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Tuesday 20 March, the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Friday 23 & Saturday 24 March and wraps up at Sydney’s Allphones Arena on Tuesday 27 March (Sydney’s Acer Arena became Allphones Arena on September 1).

McGraw and Hill have been dominating the charts since the early 90s, and have produced 70 million record sales, 8 Grammys and 46 US number one singles between them.

Hill, a multi-platinum crossover artist whose hits This Kiss and The Way You Love Me are recurrent playlist favourites on Australian radio, has performed at the famed Super Bowl twice, The Academy Awards and The Grammy Awards. She has graced the covers of, amongst other publications, People Magazine, Marie Claire and In Style.

McGraw returns to Australia following his Southern Voice tour in 2010. McGraw’s Brisbane Entertainment Centre concert sold out within fifteen minutes, shows in Sydney and Melbourne followed suit, and promoters added a second Brisbane and an outdoor show in Townsville.

Of any musical genre, McGraw was USA radio’s most played artist of the past decade, receiving 7.8 million spins. McGraw is a musician and an actor with roles in Flicka (2006), The Blind Side (2009) and Country Strong (2010) alongside Gwyneth Paltrow.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are autonomously amazing, but together they’re a partnership powerhouse, particularly when it comes to touring.

Don’t miss Tim McGraw and Faith Hill touring together for the first time in Australia.
