PATRÓN TOASTS TO GREATNESS AS OFFICIAL SPIRIT PARTNER OF THE 2025 ARIA AWARDS – Wednesday 19 November at Sydneyʼs Hordern Pavilion

written by the partae

The worldʼs leading super-premium tequila joins Australian musicʼs biggest night to celebrate craftsmanship, culture, and creativity.

PATRÓN Tequila, the worldʼs leading super-premium tequila, has been announced as the Official Spirit Partner of the 2025 ARIA Awards in partnership with Spotify, taking place on Wednesday 19 November at Sydneyʼs Hordern Pavilion.

The 39th ARIA Awards will once again celebrate the very best in Australian music on its biggest stage, bringing together the nation’s most talented artists and industry icons for a night of extraordinary performances, collaboration, and creativity.

At a time when Australian music continues to grow momentum on the global stage, Patrón is deepening its commitment to homegrown talent – championing Australian artists and amplifying the voices that deserve to be heard.

“At PATRÓN, we celebrate those who take their craft to new heights, those who pursue greatness in everything they do and there’s no better stage for that than the ARIA Awards,”
said Lisa OʼNeill, Marketing Manager, PATRÓN Tequila Australia.
“Together with ARIA, weʼre raising a glass to artists, the producers, and the creators shaping the sound of Australian music, a true celebration of craft, creativity, and excellence.”

As the Official Spirit Partner, PATRÓN will elevate the ARIA Award experience with a series of inspired touchpoints that capture the artistry, celebration, and pursuit of greatness that define both brands.

From signature serves of PATRÓN El Alto, to the exclusive backstage bar for winners to celebrate their achievements, and the high-energy PATRÓN After Party, every detail has been designed to embody the brandʼs commitment to authenticity, excellence, and shared moments of celebration.

Backstage, a bespoke ARIA and PATRÓN El Alto bar will serve as the ultimate destination for ARIA Award winners to celebrate their success and reflect on their journey. Featured as part of the broadcast integration, it offers winners a quiet moment to pause, reflect, and acknowledge everything it took to get there.

To cap off the evening, PATRÓN will bring a taste of Hacienda PATRÓN, the brandʼs home in Mexico, to Sydneyʼs Hordern Pavilion for the official PATRÓN x ARIA Awards After Party. Lush agave plants and flowing Margaritas will set the scene as Australia’s leading music talent comes together to celebrate the night’s achievements. The dance floor will come alive with live DJs at the PATRÓN DJ Booth, ensuring the festivities continue long after the final award is announced.

Annabelle Herd, CEO of ARIA, said:

“It is great to welcome PATRÓN Tequila as the Official Spirit Partner of the 2025 ARIA Awards. The ARIAs are a celebration of excellence and achievement, and PATRÓNʼs commitment to recognising our amazing local talent, creativity, and success makes them the perfect partner for the Awards.”

Grounded in craftsmanship, storytelling, and cultural connection, PATRÓN continues to redefine how brands engage with major cultural moments, celebrating creativity and excellence in the pursuit of greatness.

G FLIP & THE BEACHES – due to overwhelming demand, 2nd Hordern Pavilion show added in Sydney | Tickets on sale Monday

by the partae November 13, 2025
written by the partae

JOINED BY AYESHA MADON | NEW TICKETS ON SALE MONDAY

It’s gonna be a ‘Beach Flip’ summer! Frontier Touring is thrilled to announce a second Sydney show for ARIA Award-winning drummer, singer, songwriter and producer G Flip, who returns to Australia in February for their biggest shows yet. The star is bringing along some friends for the (dream) ride: unstoppable Toronto outfit The Beaches, who’ve officially arrived as rock’s next great party starters. Joined by opener Ayesha Madon, this is one line-up you don’t want to miss!

With a previously announced show at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion now officially sold out, fans score another chance G Flip and The Beaches live on stage this summer. A second date has now been added for Wednesday 4 March, making two nights back-to-back at the iconic venue. Tickets for the new show go on sale Monday 17 November (2pm local time), with Frontier Members presale starting Friday 14 November (1pm local time) – head to www.frontiertouring.com/gflip ​ for all the details.

It’s been a huge few months for G Flip. Next week G Flip will hit the red carpet, in celebration of single ‘Disco Cowgirl’ landing a ARIA Awards nomination for ‘Best Pop Release’. They’ve just wrapped tour dates across England, Wales and Scotland, including a blistering performance at London’s legendary Brixton Academy. Back in September, G Flip kicked off a massive 35+ date run across the USA and Canada, while just last month Out Magazine inducted them into their prestigious ‘Out 100’ annual list – a celebration of the most impactful and influential LGBTQ+ people worldwide.

 Making their welcome return, The Beaches released one of 2025’s most effervescent albums, No Hard Feelings, back in August – check out their recent set on NPR’s Tiny Desk here, and Jimmy Kimmel here. Since their 2023 viral mega hit ‘Blame Brett’ went global the four-piece have exploded worldwide, wrapping a major US tour and currently dominating their Canadian home turf. In 2026, fresh from their Aussie dates, the band will join pop star Louis Tomlinson for another North American run.
Opening the tour nationally is another star you don’t want to miss: Ayesha Madon, who just dropped her debut EP The Unanticipated Prequel (via Future Classic). Best known for her breakout role in Netflix’s Heartbreak High, Ayesha’s music is making serious waves, her soulful, magnetic voice now a fixture on triple j.

With a lineup this good, you’d be mad to miss it. Get set for a Beach Flip summer, where the vibes are high and there’s nowhere else you’d rather be!

BABYMETAL 2026 Australian Headline Tour With Special Guests Bloodywood

by the partae November 10, 2025
written by the partae
A dazzling global force to be reckoned with, in 2026 Metal sensations BABYMETAL are set to tour Australian arenas next March joined by Indian metal behemoths BLOODYWOOD.

Opening on Thursday 12 March in Perth, BABYMETAL will blaze their way through Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, before concluding their headline run on Sunday 22 March in Brisbane.

Hailing from Tokyo, BABYMETAL‘s origin story stems back to 2010, with the group forging their own unique sonic sound via heavy metal and Japanese idol cues. Swiftly evolving into a global sensation that has embraced genre-defiance, five studio albums, countless award wins, millions of global followers, tours around the world, chart success and collaborations with the likes of Tom Morello, Electric Callboy, Spiritbox and countless others, BABYMETAL continue to reinvent themselves and what it means to be a heavy band in the 21s century; a fact robustly on display with each new performance and release.

Most recently flexing their wares via their 2025 fifth studio album METAL FORTH, which saw the group become the first all-Japanese act to reach the top 10 of the Billboard 200 and also contained a feature from BLOODYWOOD on Kon! Kon! amongst other collabs, BABYMETAL have also spent the better part of 2025 on the road, from performing in Australia at Knotfest in February and March, through to headlining in Europe, the UK, North America, and, earlier this week, ticking off a special arena show in Mexico.

Closer to home, BABYMETAL made their first ever Australian live performance in 2018 at Good Things Festival, before returning in 2023 for their debut headline run, and enamouring once again earlier this year in a festival setting as part of Knotfest Australia. Renowned for their high-octane heaviness, infectious choreography and dazzling-yet-blistering charisma, BABYMETAL‘s earlier Aussie performances have relentlessly captivated crowds, with Everblack Media dubbing their Brisbane headline show earlier this year “a meticulously crafted fusion of precision and power”, while Volume Media enthused of the band’s debut 2023 headline shows that “it transcended cultural boundaries, generational boundaries, and genre boundaries. We entered the metalverse with BABYMETAL, and none of us came out the same.”

Balancing guttural metal, Indian folk elements, hip hop hues and lyricism that span humour, culture and social issues, BLOODYWOOD are a band like no other. An act who have proudly flown the flag for Indian metal increasingly on a global scale since first forming in 2016, becoming India’s first metal act to chart on Billboard, the group initially gained traction via uploading YouTube cover songs before harnessing their signature sound, and ultimately beginning their journey towards world domination. Releasing a new album Nu Delhi earlier this year, BLOODYWOOD gifted a searing love letter to Nu Delhi and its thriving music scene, with the album also boasting a memorable collab with BABYMETAL on the track Bekhauf. With inescapably charismatic songs sung in Hindi, Punjabi and English, sold-out tours and performances at the likes of Hellfest and Download Festival, BLOODYWOOD‘s long-awaited journey to Australia in 2026 will be the stuff heavy music dreams are made of.

“Teen Jesus bring the chaos” – Rolling Stone

“a raucous ode to bar-top mischief and reckless abandon… the track cranks up their signature grunge-punk energy with widescreen indie-rock flair.” – Happy Mag

“Their latest track feels like a collage of everything we love about TJ&TJT—from the brattish verses to the gloomy undertones in the chorus, and an energy that you know will be cranked to 11 when it’s performed live.” – Life Without Andy

“Teen Jesus show no signs of slowing down” – Somersault

“The indie rock quartet have taken Australia (and the world) by storm these past few years… pure rock energy” – The Note

Ahead of a stacked weekend of release events down the East Coast kicking off tonight – including a pop-up thrift party on Gadigal Land in Sydney tomorrow night and a hometown show in Canberra this Sunday night (full details below) – ARIA Award-winning indie-rock four piece Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers today unveil their second album GLORY, an album the band say is “completely us”; the work of musicians who know exactly who they are, what they’re worth and what they want to create. GLORY arrives alongside its focus track ‘WONDERFUL’ shared with its video, and already announced national tour dates this May which are on sale now (full details below). Also featuring the fiery ‘MOTHER’, ‘UNSCARRED’, ‘BALCONY’, and ‘BAIT’, GLORY is out everywhere now via Community Music / Mom + Pop. Stream / order HERE.

A song the band share was written “in a state of frustration”, focus track – and the closing song on GLORY – ‘WONDERFUL’ bottles being trapped in anxiety and feeling like you can’t get out of it, “even though you know what you have to do. It’s all about being scared of doing something but then doing it anyway,” the band shares.

GLORY is an exploration of confidence, disgust, infatuation and power set against widescreen indie-rock you can strut to, and sees Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers embrace a new, messy era. GLORY is the sound of getting the bus home after a night out, mascara smeared and battery on 1%. It’s the conspiratorial eye roll you share with a girlfriend when a loser guy is talking – it’s Cher Horowitz exclaiming “Ugh, as if!” in Clueless. Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are taking GLORY on the road this February as part of the massive Laneway Festival 2026 lineup alongside Chappell Roan, Wolf Alice, Geese and more, and in May for their national GLORY album tour – playing their biggest venues to date and a string of all-ages shows cross so-called-Australia and Aotearoa presented by triple j and Live Nation Australia with very special guest Darcie Haven. Tickets are on sale now from teenjesusandthejeanteasers.net.

Produced by 3x GRAMMY Award-winning, London-based Catherine Marks (boygenius’ The Record, Wolf Alice), Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers locked themselves away at a home studio nestled deep in the bush on Darkinjung Land / NSW’s Central Coast for a marathon five weeks perfecting and recording GLORY, a stretch of time that allowed the band to make these songs sound exactly as they intended. Marks stoked a creative environment where the band felt empowered to say ‘no’, encouraged them to try new approaches, and, more importantly, to bin whatever they didn’t like with wild abandon, all in order to help them arrive at the truest distillation of their sound. Every vocal, every instrumental part and every lyric on GLORY emerged exactly as the band intended, their vision ringing out true and clear and their incredible musicianship taking centre stage to create the suckerpunch power you’ll hear across the album.

Across its already-released singles ‘BALCONY’, ‘UNSCARRED’, ‘MOTHER’ and ‘BAIT’ – which, along with the rest of GLORY, was mixed by 3x GRAMMY Award-winning Oli Jacobs (Kendrick Lamar, beabadoobee, Taylor Swift), mastered by Ruairi O’Flaherty (Sabrina Carpenter, Lana Del Rey, Bleachers) and have collectively had more than a million streams on Spotify alone – Teen Jesus have seen continued support and acclaim from triple j, Spotify’s Local Noise, New Music Friday, MARROW (US), New Noise (US) and All New Rock (US), The Guardian, Rolling Stone, junkee, Life Without Andy, Sydney Morning Herald, The Music, Happy, Tone Deaf and many, many others.

Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers – Anna Ryan (they/she; vocals/guitar), Scarlett McKahey (she/her; guitar/vocals), Jaida Stephenson (she/her; bass) and Neve van Boxsel (she/her; drums) – have gone from strength to strength since the release of their debut EP Pretty Good For A Girl Band (2022), with its lead single ‘Girl Sports’ landing at #55 on the triple j Hottest 100. Their debut album I Love You (2023) landed at #6 on the ARIA Charts, placed at #52 on the Hottest 100 (‘I Used To Be Fun’), with its deluxe I Love You Too (2024) featuring new singles ‘Dull’ ft. Softcult and ‘Please Me’ ft. The Linda Lindas – the former landing at #187 in triple j’s Hottest 200 this year. Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers have since raked in a slew of accolades including nominations and wins at the J Awards, APRA Awards, Rolling Stone Awards, AIR Awards and Music ACT Awards, being named one of Spotify’s Artists To Watch, and being hand-picked to open for legendary international heavyweights Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam in Australia and the US. Now based across Ngunnawal/Canberra, and Naarm/Melbourne, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are just as concerned about issues facing today’s women, non-binary people and young people everywhere as they are with making music that continues to push boundaries and expectations. They are ambassadors for Green Music’s No Music on a Dead Planet, played Rising Tide on Parliament House steps, contributed to the Parliament inquiry into challenges and opportunities within the Australian live music industry and are firm supporters of Michael’s Rule. This is a band never to be pigeonholed, and definitely never underestimated.

Chris Williamson bringing the Mostly Wise live show to Australia, New Zealand and Bali in 2026

by the partae November 7, 2025
written by the partae

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.

SATANIC SURFERS (SWE) Australian Tour 2026

by the partae November 6, 2025
written by the partae

For the first time since 1998, Skate Punk legends SATANIC SURFERS are returning down under – playing 4 intimate shows only in Melbourne, Adelaide, Gold Coast and Sydney. Formed in autumn, 1989 by vocalist Erik Kronwall and drummer Rodrigo Alfaro. The band did not release their debut album until 1993. Named Skate to Hell, the record was the first release issued by Bad Taste Records. Ulf Eriksson replaced Erik on vocals for 1994’s Keep Out on Burning Heart Records. When he in turn left the group, Alfaro became the group’s vocalist while keeping drumming duties.
After three more LPs on Burning Heart and several lineup changes, the group returned to Bad Taste for two releases in 2000. After 2002’s Unconsciously Confined, the group added bassist Andy Dahlström and drummer Robert Samsonovitz, and issued their final album, 2005’s Taste the Poison. They disbanded in 2007 before re-uniting in in 2014.

Crowded House to headline inaugural Golden Hour on Bondi beach supported by Thelma Plum

by the partae November 6, 2025
written by the partae

PRE-SALE REGISTRATION

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.

Oasis ignite Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium as the Australian leg of Oasis Live ’25 kicks off!

by the partae November 1, 2025
written by the partae

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.

On Sunday 30 November at 1:30pm, audiences will be treated to Minor Gold, the award-winning folk-rock duo of Dan Parsons and Tracy McNeil, whose effortless harmonies and heartfelt songs have won fans across Australia and the world.

Tickets to both Special Event Sessions are $25 bf and include a complimentary beverage on board.

Queenscliff Music Festival Director Claire Stickland, said that the new Ferry sessions were added due to overwhelming response for the first, festival-based sessions:
“We’ve been overwhelmed by the response to the Ferry as a floating venue. If you absolutely don’t want to miss out, these special ferry sessions are for you and guarantee you a spot on  this unique experience.”

All ferry sessions run throughout the weekend, offering an unforgettable perspective of Queenscliff, from the water, with live music, salty air and spectacular bay views.

Throughout the weekend you’ll also be able to experience the beautiful Bellarine right within the festival – with craft beers, boutique wines, cocktails, gourmet produce, including pastries from Ket Baker and oysters and cheese platters from TARRA Queenscliff.
