New band Runyamouth has quickly made a name for themselves with their big sound and energetic live shows… and with a pedigree like theirs, it’s no wonder. The band comprises members from Aussie punk legends Captives, Without Fail, and Slow Down Sonic.
They are excited to announce the release of their debut single, “Head on a Stick”. This hard-hitting, guitar riff driven track is a no-BS alt-rock masterpiece for fans of Grinspoon, Silverchair, Muse, and Audioslave. If you enjoy big riffs and can’t resist yelling along, this is for you.
Runyamouth are releasing their debut single right off the back of performing at The Unconformity festival (headlined by Spiderbait) and completing a run of shows around their home state of lutuwita/Tasmania. Mastered by Tyson Fish (Vance Joy, The Living End, Mammal).
“Head on a Stick is a double entendre, it reflects both the corruption of world leaders in power and the inner turmoil of trying to understand why, in a so-called modern world, we continue to repeat the same cycles of war and suffering” says drummer Daniel Burling.

The acclaimed Modern Wisdom host delivers an evening of sharp insights, raw honesty, and unexpected lessons, challenging audiences to get curious, think deeper, and discover new perspectives.
Following the success of his sold-out North American live tour, British podcaster, writer, and host of Modern Wisdom – one of the world’s biggest podcasts – CHRIS WILLIAMSON brings his signature blend of storytelling, philosophy, and insight to Australia, New Zealand, and Bali in 2026 with the MOSTLY WISE live tour, hitting theatres across each territory in March and April.
Through a dynamic mix of storytelling, sharp insights, and practical takeaways, Williamson explores the tension between what we think we know and what we’re still figuring out. From the traps of hustle culture to the truths uncovered in silence, Mostly Wise offers an evening of insights, face-palm clarity, and unexpected discoveries. Audiences can expect a show that is deeply reflective, gut-punchingly honest, and unapologetically points the finger at the lessons you need to hear but have been ignoring. Whether you’re a long-time listener or just stepping into the world of personal growth, this tour invites you to get curious, challenge your assumptions, and walk away with a fresh perspective.
“After thousands of hours speaking with some of the world’s sharpest minds, the biggest lesson I’ve learned is that no one really has it all figured out, least of all me,” said Williamson. “Mostly Wise is about embracing that reality, exploring the questions that actually matter, and laughing at the ways we get it wrong. It’s not self-help, it’s self-honesty. I can’t wait to bring that to life with everyone across Australia, New Zealand, and Bali. This stuff absolutely rules. Hopefully, everyone leaves feeling called out, seen, reassured, and a bit more wise.”
With over 1 billion streams, Williamson’s Modern Wisdom has become one of today’s most influential self-development platforms, helping millions live better, think deeper, and perform at their best. Covering topics from modern masculinity and relationships to philosophy and mental wellness, Williamson distills complex ideas into practical, relatable takeaways for his global audience of more than 7 million followers.
On Modern Wisdom, Williamson sits down with some of the world’s most influential thinkers and cultural icons, from David Goggins and Andrew Huberman to Senator Bernie Sanders, Scott Galloway, and Matthew McConaughey.
The Mostly Wise live tour builds on that legacy, bringing Williamson’s most thought-provoking conversations to the stage. Audiences can expect an evening that’s as entertaining as it is enlightening — blending humor, honesty, and reflection into a transformative live experience.

Sydney’s most iconic shoreline will take centre stage next year with the arrival of GOLDEN HOUR, a new live music series produced by Fuzzy. Launching in February 2026, the event will turn Bondi Beach into a sunset celebration of live music. Headlining the inaugural edition are Crowded House, supported by acclaimed singer-songwriter Thelma Plum, for a landmark evening honouring Australian music in a setting unlike any other.
GOLDEN HOUR is designed as a new end-of-summer ritual and marks the first major concert on Bondi Beach in more than a decade. The main stage sits directly on the sand, while guests are encouraged to bring picnic rugs and settle on the hill above the foreshore for sunset views.
“Golden Hour was created to celebrate the magic of outdoor live music in a way that feels grounded in place and community,” said Adelle Robinson, Managing Director of Fuzzy. “It’s about uplifting the voices that define who we are, including First Nations artists whose stories and creativity continue to shape Australia’s cultural landscape.”
Crowded House are among Australia and New Zealand’s most acclaimed and enduring bands, with more than 15 million albums sold worldwide and a legacy defined by eight APRA Awards, 13 ARIA Awards, a BRIT Award and induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame. Their 2024 album Gravity Stairs marked a bold new chapter for the group, reaffirming their creative evolution and leading into an extensive global tour that has continued through 2025. Their headline performance at GOLDEN HOUR will give fans the rare chance to experience the band as the sun sets over Bondi, with a setlist spanning decades of songs that have shaped the soundtrack of Australian life.
Award-winning Gamilaraay artist Thelma Plum will also take the stage. Known for her honest lyricism and unmistakable voice, Thelma has become one of Australia’s most compelling storytellers. Her 2023 album I’m Sorry, Now Say It Back reaffirmed her standing as a singular talent in Australian music, weaving personal reflection with emotional depth. The record built on the success of her acclaimed debut and years of touring across the country, marking Thelma as a vital, enduring voice in the nation’s contemporary soundscape.
Waverley Mayor Will Nemesh welcomed the announcement, saying the event would add a new cultural dimension to the area. “An iconic band deserves an iconic location, and what better combination than Crowded House and Bondi Beach,” he said. “I’m proud that another major event is making its home in Waverley, strengthening Council’s commitment to the cultural life of this special part of Sydney. Golden Hour not only brings a world-class concert to our doorstep but also creates opportunities for local creatives, businesses and service providers, delivering lasting benefits for the community.”
At its core, GOLDEN HOUR is a community-first music experience that celebrates local talent and creative collaboration. From the lineup to its visual identity, created by Warumungu/Wombaya artist Jessica Johnson of Nungala Creative, every element of the event reflects a commitment to Australian art and storytelling, especially highlighting the contribution of First Nations creatives. The 2026 edition runs from 5 pm to 10 pm, marking the beginning of an annual series that will return each summer with new artists and experiences still to be announced.

I also think there was a lot more unknown when I was going into the studio. Which is fun. Feels very exploratory.
When listeners reach the final track, “Song For A Ghost,” what do you hope lingers with them after the album ends?

Oasis made their monumental return to Australia, delivering an explosive first Aussie show of their history-making and universally celebrated global tour, OASIS LIVE ’25 at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium.
Playing to a capacity crowd of 58,000 fans, the band showed Melbourne exactly why this tour has become the most defining live music moment of the year, as they gave fans a taste of what’s to come on their five-date, sold-out stadium run of Australia.
Liam and Noel strode onto the stage with their customary swagger, hands clasped and raised high, as Liam fired up the crowd with a question: “G’day Australia. Did you miss us? Because we missed you.” The packed stadium roared its answer, a thunderous yes.
Just before launching into the emotive “Live Forever” the third single from Oasis’ 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe, he announced, “This next song’s dedicated to all the people who can’t be here. You know who they are, we know who they are. Live forever!” prompting a huge, heartfelt singalong.
OASIS LIVE ’25 has ignited a worldwide frenzy, with anticipation for the shows spanning countries and generations. Demand for the tour has been staggering with 18 million people applying for tickets when dates were first announced and 2.6 million fans securing their spot to witness what has become one of the biggest and most in-demand tours in history.
The Australian leg of the OASIS LIVE ’25 tour kicks off as Oasis celebrates 30 years since the release of “Wonderwall” on 30 October 1995. Three decades on, it’s still one of the most enduring songs in modern music. Before they played the track Liam asked the crowd to “Wish this baby happy birthday, 30 years Wonderwall.” For many in the crowd, it was a full-circle moment. Fans who grew up with Oasis now singing alongside their kids as “Wonderwall” rang out across the packed stadium, showing just how deeply the music continues to resonate.
The biggest reunion in rock has become a unifying celebration of a band whose influence has never faded. Oasis continue their Australian run this week with two more sold-out nights in Melbourne, before heading to Sydney for back-to-back shows on Friday 7 and Saturday 8 November.
Alongside the tour, and to celebrate the 30th anniversary of “Wonderwall”, Oasis have announced a limited edition (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? 7” Singles Box Set – a replica of the highly collectible 1996 CD cigarette-style box. The Box Set includes four 7” singles, featuring the 2014 remastered versions of “Wonderwall”, “Some Might Say”, “Roll With It”, and “Don’t Look Back In Anger”, along with their original B-sides. Released 12th December, it’s available for pre-order HERE.

Apples & Honey, the debut album from Montreal singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Vincent Yelle, is an intimate, haunting meditation on loss, family, and memory. Written, recorded, and produced entirely by Yelle, the album traces the emotional landscape that followed the passing of his father—capturing grief not as an endpoint, but as a living thread that binds generations together.
The record is steeped in personal history: field recordings of birds captured by Yelle’s late father, snippets of family conversations, and the voices of his mother and sister all blur into the music’s textured layers. Each song feels like a memory preserved in amber—delicate, luminous, and deeply human. What emerges is a tender strain of memory-folk, where emotion takes precedence over perfection, and vulnerability becomes an act of quiet resilience.
After more than a decade shaping the sound of Quebec’s indie scene as a bassist for artists including Pelch, Jeffrey Piton, Pataugeoire, and Simon Daniel, Yelle steps confidently into his own creative space. His solo work expands the language of modern folk, marrying intimacy with sonic experimentation. Apples & Honey is less a collection of songs than an emotional document—one that captures the ache and beauty of remembering.
The album features contributions from Claire Morrison, Florence Lefebvre-Gagnon, Josée Desranleau, Paul Émile Yelle, Antoine Loiselle, and Olivier Guertin, with mixing by Christian-Adam Gilbert and mastering by Jean-Philippe Villemure.
