RADIOHEAD ARE FINALLY RETURNING TO AUSTRALIA! 🇦🇺

The 15-year drought is over, and RADIOHEAD are pouring the whole keg with a massive 16-date arena tour in 2027.

🍺 4 nights in Perth
🍺 6 nights in Melbourne
🍺 6 nights in Sydney

Six shows in Melbourne and another six in Sydney? At this point, Thom Yorke may as well get his mail redirected.

Ticket registration is open now through Frontier Touring and closes at 5pm AEST on Thursday 10 September. Every registration during the window is treated equally, so there’s no need to race.

Who’s finally ticking RADIOHEAD off the bucket list?

Three gigs in three nights. OCEAN SLEEPER on Friday, SKINDRED on Saturday and BURY TOMORROW on Sunday. Sydney, you absolutely cooked us 😂

Cheers to everyone we ran into across the weekend, whether it was in the pit, between sets or over a beer. It was a bloody great three days packed with brilliant bands and even better people.

Now please excuse me while I sleep for a week 🍻

Absolutely heartbreaking news.

Andy “The Butcher” Williams, founding guitarist of EVERY TIME I DIE and former AEW star, has passed away aged 48 after collapsing during a wrestling match in Pennsylvania.

Medical staff at the venue immediately performed CPR before Andy was transported to hospital. His passing was later confirmed by the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office.

For more than two decades, Andy helped give EVERY TIME I DIE their unmistakable sound, playing on every release and becoming one of the most recognisable figures in heavy music.

He then stepped into another dream and became The Butcher, bringing that same larger-than-life presence to the wrestling ring alongside The Blade.

Very few people leave their mark on two completely different worlds the way Andy did. Heavy music and professional wrestling have lost a true original.

Our hearts go out to Andy’s family, friends, bandmates, wrestling family and everyone who loved him.

Rest easy, Andy. Butcher Forever. 🖤

Would Electric Callboy ever enter the Eurovision Song Contest?

We asked Nico & Kevin as their TANZNEID Australian tour rolls on, and their answer might surprise you.

Full interview out now:

Who’s catching them while they’re Down Under?

BURY TOMORROW hit Sydney tonight!

Make sure you get in early for HEISTS and HEADWRECK. You’ll be kicking yourself if you don’t! Then GIDEON and BURY TOMORROW will finish off one seriously stacked night.

What song are you most excited to hear?

For me, it’s a toss-up between “Cannibal,” “Black Flame” and “Sx.”

Sydney tonight, followed by Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth!

*These setlists were taken from the Brisbane show, so they may change from night to night, but this should give you a pretty good idea of what’s coming*

Nico & Kevin of Electric Callboy are on tap! 🍻

We caught up with the boys to talk Tanzneid, their Australian arena tour and why they said no to Eurovision.

There’s also some love for John Farnham, my attempt to get a SAVAGE GARDEN cover happening, and the boys questioning whether us Aussies have been overselling our dangerous animals.

This was an absolute blast. The full interview is out now! 👇
