Nilüfer Yanya @ 170 Russell

First time concert is always a gamble, but seeing this British singer-songwriter live made me an even bigger fan.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds @ Alexandra Gardens

Missing out on Australian Open tennis finals was worth it for a double dose of Nick Cave in glorious full band mode.
New Music 01/2026 – David Gilmour, Olivia Dean

Latest album from the voice and guitar of Pink Floyd; delightful retro sounds from a young breakout star.
New Music 10/2025 – Kim Gordon, Everything But the Girl

Former bassist-singer of Sonic Youth makes ugly but compelling noise on a solo record; a comeback album from the English pop duo.
Candlelight: Best of Hans Zimmer @ Collingwood Town Hall

Though I went in with modest expectations, this string quartet tribute to Hans Zimmer turned out to be delightful, and the venue wasn’t too shabby either.
MSO: Winter Gala – Lang Lang @ Hamer Hall

My classical streak continued with this very special evening. This time, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra teamed up with the Chinese piano superstar for a night of Ravel, Saint-Saëns and Mussorgsky.
MSO: A Reflection in Time @ Hamer Hall

Another wonderful night with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, featuring the ultimate tearjerker, a local violin wunderkind, and Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5.
Beth Gibbons @ Hamer Hall
