I’VE TRIED EVERYTHING BUT THERAPY TOUR – OCTOBER 2025
With 12 huge arena shows locked in across Australia and New Zealand this October, global chart-topper Teddy Swims just keeps getting bigger.
The ‘Lose Control’ hitmaker is fresh from setting a new US chart record – his international smash becoming the first song in Billboard Hot 100 history to spend 100 consecutive weeks on the chart. Now deep into the North American leg of his I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Tour, Swims is hitting milestone after milestone – including two sold-out hometown shows in Atlanta and a tour finale in Honolulu – before heading down under.
Today, Swims is thrilled to announce ARIA Award-winning artist Matt Corby as very special guest for his Australian dates.
Matt Corby is a musical perennial. Three immaculate albums into an original music journey, with no end in sight. Matt first broke through back in 2011 with the bruising ballad ‘Brother’ – a song whose enduring appeal was proven again with its #51 appearance on last week’s triple j ‘Hottest 100 Australian Songs’ of all time. In his career, Matt’s confidence as a songwriter, lyricist, and record producer has grown to match his vocal mastery. Fans can expect new music in 2025.
Says Corby:
“I’m such a fan of Teddy. I first heard ‘Lose Control’ on the radio while driving from the airport to a show, was completely floored by his vocal chops and the soul in his sound. I’ve been hooked ever since. We first met at his Sydney show last year: Teddy came up, gave me a big hug, and told me he’d been listening to my music since high school, which just blew my mind. After his set, we hung out, talked music, and joked about starting a boy band one day. Being invited to join him on this run of shows is a real honour. I can’t wait!”
With final tickets selling fast, this powerhouse pairing of Teddy Swims and Matt Corby is not to be missed. Two once-in-a-generation voices. One unforgettable night.

Having spent the last two years touring consistently through Aotearoa and beyond with their unbeatable brand of dynamic indie-rock music, NO CIGAR now embrace the release of their much-anticipated new project – album number three, Under The Surface.
An album jampacked with songs that speak to the band’s elevated chemistry as songwriters and performers, Under The Surface plucks at fresh sonic influences while driving home NO CIGAR’s curiosity for pushing themselves into new creative directions.
Featuring popular tracks including ‘Clean’, ‘Chantilly’, and ‘Best Behaviour’, Under The Surface provides the listener with multiple moments to lose themselves in. For fans of NO CIGAR who have been lucky enough to see the five-piece perform across the last year and a half, the kinetic energy woven through their live performances will recognise that same energy within the DNA of this album. For newcomers, consider Under The Surface as the perfect jump off point in discovering more about one of Aotearoa’s most exciting exports.
“Music is our escapism, it’s where we squeeze the poison, sucked from the wounds of love, life and pain. As songwriters, and for me as a lyricist, getting to open up in a place that feels safe, with the boys, feels cathartic in a way nothing else can. Like many people, I struggle to speak candidly with anyone about what haunts me most. Letting it out can feel like pushing a mouthful of emotions through a pinhole; therefore, I choose my words carefully, so as to leave no venom on the tongue.” NO CIGAR
Created at Auckland’s renowned Roundhead Studios, Under The Surface shines in the way the music incorporates new flavours (‘Merci Merci’, ‘Cherry Blossom Girl’), while also letting the personality of the songwriting take prominence. NO CIGAR’s music to date has spoken to the band’s natural talents as artists – a savvy knack of knowing how to build a sonic space that the listener gravitates towards with ease.
Under The Surface takes the lessons and experiences from recent years, particularly since the release of their last album – 2023’s The Great Escape – and distills them here into twelve tracks of fun, thoughtful and engaging music.
“Just as we’ve grown as people in the last few years since our first album, so too has the music. We never set out to make music that is ‘heavier’ or ‘softer’; we just find the time to lock ourselves away from the world, get comfortable, and open the floodgates. The way the heavier tones in the album balance nicely with softer numbers make for our most dynamic album to date. NO CIGAR like you’ve never seen it before.” NO CIGAR
The release of Under The Surface comes off the back of sold out tours across the UK and Aotearoa, with NO CIGAR’s impressive back catalogue continuing to resonate with increasingly large audiences in global markets – Australasia, Europe, North America and the UK.
To celebrate the release of Under The Surface, NO CIGAR will be touring Australia and New Zealand this October and November.
“We’re coming home Aussie (it feels like it anyway – we know you’ll claim us as your own some day). It’s been a minute. We love you, and can’t wait to share our brand new album with you. Prove to us why Aussie crowds are the best in the world. We’ll bring the noise, you bring the energy. Vise versa.” NO CIGAR

“Each performance is a journey guaranteed to envelop you in romanticism, to the ever-evolving backdrop of a thumping sonic experience. With elements of alternative, folk, and indie rock, they also utilise groove-based rhythms with psychedelic undertones to keep your feet moving & your shoulders rolling.”
TWICE THE HYPE
“No Cigar has noticeably little banter, and are mostly here to play their music, which they do very well. The crowd was wild and some people climb onto their friends’ shoulders to see over the rowdy room full of music lovers. Anyone who’s not on someone else’s should is awkwardly pressed together as the venue was clearly at capacity, if not over”

Australian indie-folk duo The Dreggs, comprised of Paddy Macrae and Zane Harris, are riding a wave of critical acclaim and overwhelming fan support following the release of their highly anticipated sophomore album, “The Art of Uncommon Practice,” which dropped on Friday, July 25, 2025. The album arrives on the heels of a massively successful Australian tour, which saw the duo captivate sold-out audiences across the country. With their latest musical offering making waves, The Dreggs are now set to embark on extensive tours of the USA and Canada in September, followed by a European and UK leg in October.
Hailing from Australia’s thriving indie-folk scene, The Dreggs have rapidly become one of the country’s most exciting live acts, renowned for their high-energy shows where crowds sing along from start to finish. What began seven years ago as a local cover act on the Sunshine Coast, playing pubs and cafes between surf sessions, has blossomed into a global phenomenon commanding sold-out crowds.
The duo’s impressive trajectory is highlighted by their remarkable growth in recent years. In 2024 alone, The Dreggs performed to over 50,000 fans across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Europe, a testament to their rapidly expanding international demand. Their 2023 Australian tours saw them sell over 15,000 tickets, delivering their biggest headline and regional tours to date. Their electric live presence was undeniable at Spilt Milk and Yours and Owls Festival, drawing crowds of approximately 10,000 to their sets. The intense demand for their music is further highlighted by the fact that tickets for their recent album release week shows sold out within 48 hours of a single Instagram post.
“The Art of Uncommon Practice” follows their critically acclaimed debut album, “Caught in a Reverie,” which debuted at an impressive #29 on the ARIA Australian Albums Chart. Their breakout single, “Give Myself To You,” has been certified Platinum in Australia, cementing their status as a powerhouse in the indie-folk world.
As The Dreggs continue to make significant waves internationally, their momentum shows no signs of slowing. Fans worldwide can look forward to experiencing “The Art of Uncommon Practice” live, as the band prepares for their upcoming tours.

Standout, dreamlike songs such as the chart-climbing “Better Me For You (Brown Eyes)” and the unstoppably joyful focus track “Forever Ain’t Long Enough,” Max lets his inner hopeless romantic shine. Whereas on the heavy-hearted but exquisitely catchy “Same Questions” and the ode to old love “St. Helen’s Alpenglow,” Max explores everything that’s lost following a breakup. Meanwhile, the gorgeously textured track “The Cost of Growing Up” arrives as a clear-eyed but melancholic reflection on the inevitability of pain.
Revisiting the title track of the original album, Max recruited country artist Cameron Whitcomb for a new, heartfelt rendition of “Night Diving,” a profound meditation on the cycles of addiction, set against a spellbinding backdrop of otherworldly textures, moody guitar tones, and strangely haunting rhythms. Watch Max and Cameron poke fun at each other in this hilarious clip promoting the single (which has earned over half a million views within just one week).
“One of the things I respect above all else is authenticity and honesty in music, and Cam is the epitome of that,” says McNown of working with Whitcomb. “When I started thinking about a feature on that song, I knew there was no better person than Cam to join me. He gave it so much energy and his voice is so distinct, and now the song has a whole new life to it.”
Cameron Whitcomb adds, “When Max first pitched the song to me, I barely got halfway through the first verse and called him back immediately. I think this song is honest and special, and I’m honored to sing alongside an incredible artist and human being on such an amazing record.”
In celebration of the new music, Max is continuing on the road hitting Lollapalooza and the fast-selling North American headline “Forever Ain’t Long Enough,” tour, which kicks off August 21st in Kansas City. The tour will be making stops in Austin at Emo’s on August 27th, Los Angeles at The Novo on September 6th, and at 9:30 Club in Washington D.C. on September 8th – see full dates below and visit maxmcnown.com/tour for tickets and more information.
At 23 (turns 24 on July 20), Max has already been on a storied musical journey. Taking control of his future, overcoming personal challenges, and drawing inspiration from his brother who was bravely fighting cancer, he packed his bags and drove from remote Oregon to Southern California. From there, videos of him busking on a pier made an impact online and eventually grew into a legion of supporters on TikTok (currently has 2.4M followers). After attracting interest from major TV talent shows, McNown auditioned for one and then decided it wasn’t for him and gracefully turned them down as he knew he needed to walk his own path.
Within just a year of teaching himself to play guitar, the Nashville-based artist set off on a meteoric rise largely fueled by his breakout single “A Lot More Free”— the RIAA Gold-certified track whose explosive success earned him a #1 spot on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart and has currently been flying up the radio charts. Currently, the track is Top 10 at Hot AC and Top 20 at Top 40.
Following the release of his widely lauded debut album Wandering, the Willfully Blind EP, and his acclaimed sophomore album Night Diving, the 23-year-old Oregon native continued his fast ascent to stardom appearing on The Kelly Clarkson Show (watch here) and TODAY (watch here), and selling out his first-ever headline tour within just hours.
Recently, Max also made his debut on the Billboard Hot 100 with his song “Better Me For You (Brown Eyes).” The song, which has spent five weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, has now amassed over 130 million global streams and has been a mainstay at Country radio – currently #39 on Top 40 Country. Max was also named a 2025 Artist To Watch by Amazon Music, Holler, and Country Now, and has performed at C2C Festival, CMA Fest, and other large festivals.
The Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up) deluxe album is a powerful milestone for a prolific young artist rooted in his craft. Even as his star quickly rises, Max stays true to his small-town soul—anchored by humility, heart, and a deep love for honest songwriting. With every track, he continues his mission to make music that lets folks feel seen, heard, and understood.

Australian punk stalwarts The Smith Street Band today share new single ‘Star Child’. Out on Pool House Records this is the second single from the Naarm / Melbourne band’s forthcoming seventh album. Of the latest release the band’s lead singer Wil Wagner says, “Star Child is a song about how all life’s twists and turns have led me to a really happy place with a daughter who I love more than anything! It’s about how important things used to feel and how lost I used to be and the perspective gained with age and experiences. The song took on a lot of different directions and formations but I kept coming back to the opening line which is “I’ve seen so many highways” and thinking about how after all of life’s journeys I’ve found myself exactly where I need to be!” The upcoming new album is the third to be recorded at the band’s off grid studio in regional Victoria and follows critically acclaimed albums Life After Football (triple j Feature Album, 2022) and Don’t Waste Your Anger (ARIA #1, 2020). Having just completed a month of touring throughout July to capital cities across six states, The Smith Street Band today also announce a mammoth 24 date East Coast regional tour. With shows from Traralgon to Cairns and nearly everywhere in between, the tour will include their first ever shows in Mildura and Tamworth, and a long awaited return to the likes of Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Rockhampton and Mackay after nearly a decade.

Everclear, one of the leading alternative rock bands to emerge from the ‘90s led by vocalist, guitarist and founder Art Alexakis, have announced November / December Australian dates for their Sparkle and Fade 30th Anniversary Tour. Everclear’s platinum-selling, major-label debut album, had a massive impact in 1995 with its chart-topping hit “Santa Monica,” making Everclear a household name and catapulting the band into the masses. The acclaimed collection – also featuring the singles “Heroin Girl” and “Heartspark Dollarsign” – has been hailed as “a must have for any fan of pop-punk” (Punknews) and “a tough, melodic set of gnarled post-punk hard rock” (AllMusic), with The Rolling Stone Album Guide declaring, “Sparkle and Fade was everything a radio-ready rock record should be: explosive, soul-searching, belligerent.” Everclear’s 16-date Australian tour will kick off Friday November 21 in Newcastle and travel across the country, with the band performing shows in capital cities and regional areas including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Canberra, Townsville and Duncraig before wrapping up on Saturday December 13 in Adelaide. “Sparkle and Fade was not the first album I had made, but it was the album I had wanted to make my whole life. It changed everything for me and Everclear,” shares Alexakis. “Because of its success and lasting impact, this band has survived and prospered for three decades, and this tour celebrating Sparkle and Fade is another way of us saying ‘thank you’ to all of the incredible fans – old and new. We’re excited to bring this tour to Australia. In addition to all the hits and fan favorites, we’re going to pretty much play the whole album through the course of the show to commemorate this 30th anniversary. If you are a fan of this record, you do not want to miss this tour!” Everclear is: Art Alexakis (vocals, guitar), Davey French (guitar), Freddy Herrera (bass), Brian Nolan (drums) |

The sounds of construction have been echoing through Elephant and Castle recently, as Ministry of Sound undergoes a major transformation of its VIP area. Welcome to No Velvet Rope Society – an inclusive new experience designed for true music lovers, with a focus on elevated sound and a new mezzanine overlooking the infamous Box.
Ministry of Sound has unveiled a forward-facing new chapter with its £500,000 transformation – the venue’s first major renovation in 15 years. Guests now enter through a gritty back-alley entrance, a deliberate nod to its raw 90s roots. Inside, a newly built mezzanine offers a high-spec sound experience with direct views into it’s main arena The Box, immersing guests in the iconic Martin Audio sound system that helped make Ministry a global name.
Says Caitlin McAllister, Group Managing Director, Ministry of Sound, “The launch of our new VIP space marks a bold new chapter for Ministry of Sound. This transformation has been a personal passion project of mine for years, and seeing it finally come to life is incredibly special. We’ve literally knocked down walls to open up the space and connect it directly to The Box, creating a seamless, elevated experience that brings guests and artists even closer to the music, the energy, and the atmosphere that define our club. This isn’t just a refurbishment; it’s a reimagining of what a night out should feel like — captivating, electric, and unmistakably Ministry”
No Velvet Rope Society is Ministry of Sound’s fresh take on VIP culture—stripping away the exclusivity in favour of something more meaningful. It’s built for music lovers who want deeper, more connected experiences.
A limited number of founding memberships are available for just £150 a year and include VIP access at all events bar student-only nights, queue jump, birthday Moët with table bookings, 15% off first table spend, and priority access for future reservations.
The new VIP area is now open for reservations Book Here
