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.

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.

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.

The Belair Lip Bombs today share their new record Again, the first Australian album release on Jack White’s Third Man Records. Tickets are on sale now for their Australian headline tour in Feb – Mar 2026. LISTEN ON SPOTIFY + APPLE MUSIC + AMAZON MUSIC + YOUTUBE MUSIC + MORE HERE + BUY TICKETS HERE.
Again is an undeniably polished effort from The Belair Lip Bombs, who boldly present an elevation of their humble beginnings, to a band on a trajectory long beyond the DIY venue foundations. The group’s upcoming Australian tour sees the group performing across revered rooms as the Corner Hotel, Oxford Art Factory, Crowbar, Freo.Social, Lion Arts Factory and Altar. See all tour routing dates BELOW.
Backed by a gut-instinct approach, each track across Again has its own mood, built on a bed of each Lip Bombs’ members individuality – an amalgam of influence that makes the group sonically diverse in practice. Their taste as a collective is guided by the pursuit of sinking their teeth into a project unlike before. Whether you have the words, or it’s a song lyric that does for you – reflective of the group’s own reserved personalities, at odds with their power-pop range – they continue “This is an album for real lovers and feelers around the world.”
Motivated by the pursuit of sharpening their pen and cultivating sonic diversity, Again is the reward of getting deep in the weeds. The longest time the group have spent in the studio in their tenure to date also marked the first time The Belair Lip Bombs collaborated with producers Nao Anzai (The Teskey Brothers, Missy Higgins, Mildlife), and Joe White (Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever) who together have delivered a timeless, holistic album.
“With Again, we wanted to create a body of work that reflected our maturity as people and as songwriters,” The Belair Lip Bombs explain. “I think an album is the most significant demonstration of all of our hard work as a band. Touring the world and playing iconic venues or supporting big bands is all incredible but at the end of the day none of that would be happening if it wasn’t for making a record.”
Maisie‘s staunch leadership backed by the powerhouse combination of Mike, Jimmy and Dev, paint a surface happy-go-lucky, limerence rock sound. A combination of quick-footed rhythms, warm and fuzzy guitar melodies with catharsis at its core. The Belair Lip Bombs are always listening, studying and tinkering away at their form, piecing Again together along the road, between soundchecks and meagre time back home.
Springboarding Kings Of Leon to Yeah Yeah Yeahs with a hint of influence pulled from their local surroundings like jangle heroes Cool Sounds and Way Dynamic, theirs is an earnestness with ultra sticky power-pop song structures that crash through – no skips. From the fiddle that features on opener ‘Again and Again’ or the angsty ‘Another World’, to the shared vocals by Maisie and Mike on ‘If You’ve Got The Time’.
Elsewhere ‘Smiling’ captures the intoxicating, new relationship jitters while ‘Burning Up’ is the group’s clearest throughline to the undeniable hits of New Radicals, Sugar Ray or Matchbox Twenty – and the credibly they give those influences – indelibly felt on the groove laden ‘Cinema’s addictive funk piano chords. ‘Price Of A Man’, is most indicative of the power of the Lip Bombs bond, born from an accidental strum in soundcheck that spawned a story of two fellas and toxic behaviours.
A performance with pummelling instrumentation bound for endless toe-tapping, with biting words to unabashed joy. The band’s unshakable connection as four close friends shines throughout Again.
Again LP is out now via Third Man Records, buy/stream it here.

As Oasis return to Australia for their long-awaited stadium tour, fans will be able to step inside the band’s story like never before. Behind The Gallery is proud to announce an exclusive exhibition of Oasis photography by three of the UK’s most celebrated music photographers: Chris Floyd, Kevin Cummins, and Scarlet Page.
“Oasis aren’t just a band – they’re a cultural phenomenon. Through the eyes of Chris Floyd, Kevin Cummins and Scarlet Page, fans can experience the attitude, chaos and brilliance that defined an era of British music,” said Stephen Dallimore – Behind the Gallery.
Running in both Melbourne and Sydney, the exhibition is timed to coincide with the tour, offering fans a rare chance to revisit Oasis’ meteoric rise, unforgettable live shows, and candid behind-the-scenes moments through striking imagery.
The exhibition brings together more than two decades of imagery, spanning gritty early gigs, iconic stage moments, backstage portraits, and rare personal insights into the Gallagher brothers and the band’s inner circle.
- Chris Floyd – Known for his evocative portraits and collaborations with leading cultural figures, Floyd captured Oasis in their prime, offering photographs that reflect both their swagger and their vulnerability.
- Kevin Cummins – Legendary Manchester photographer whose lens defined the visual identity of the city’s music scene, from Joy Division to The Stone Roses. His work with Oasis charts their journey from hometown heroes to global superstars.
- Scarlet Page – Acclaimed rock photographer, Scarlet brings a uniquely intimate perspective. Her portraits of Oasis are celebrated for their warmth, honesty, and insider’s eye on the band’s world.
“When you start out as a photographer one of the things that you secretly hope for is that one day your work will have some resonance or interest for future generations. It’s over 30 years since the first of these pictures were taken and it gives me a lot of satisfaction to see that the love and passion for Oasis is as strong, if not stronger, as it ever was,” said Chris Floyd.
Scarlet Page reflects “These photographs capture Oasis right at the height of their raw, unstoppable energy. It was an incredible moment in British music, and I feel lucky to have been there to document a part of it.”
Together, their work creates a powerful narrative that reflects Oasis’ music, attitude, and enduring cultural influence. Each print in this series is an artist’s print, available exclusively through Behind the Gallery for this exhibition in Australia.

On a cool spring evening, Rod Laver Arena was set ablaze — literally and figuratively — as Tennessee powerhouse Jelly Roll brought his blend of country soul, hip-hop grit, and gospel heart to a sold-out Melbourne crowd. It was part rock show, part revival, and all heart.
The night opened with Drew Baldridge, the Illinois-born country artist known for his big-hearted lyrics. Backed by a dynamic live band, Baldridge wasted no time winning over the crowd with crowd-pleasers like “She’s Somebody’s Daughter” before throwing in a few Aussie-flavoured surprises — a roaring cover of AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell” and a gritty take on Cold Chisel’s “Working Class Man”, which drew a deafening singalong from the crowd.
Between acts, DJ Chill turned the arena into an impromptu block party, spinning everything from Snoop Dogg to Lynyrd Skynyrd and keeping the crowd buzzing.
Next up was Shaboozey, the Virginia-born trailblazer currently redefining modern country with hip-hop swagger and crossover hits like “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”. His set was tight, confident, and effortlessly cool. With a full band behind him, Shaboozey moved between smooth R&B flow and Southern grit, earning cheers and appreciation from new fans.
On the rear stage, rising Nashville star Julia Cole made a surprise cameo — her strong vocals and relaxed stage presence delivered her music in pure Nashville country style.
When the lights dropped and the flaming house frame ignited at the back of the stage, Jelly Roll appeared like a man stepping out of his own story. Opening with “I Am Not Okay,” the raw honesty in his voice hit hard — and the crowd was his from that moment on.
From there, the set moved through an emotional delivery of “Heart of Stone,” “Get By,” “Liar,” and a mashup of “Take Me Home, Country Roads / Lonely Road.” Each song was a confession — gritty, grateful, and honest.
Midway through, Jelly welcomed Shaboozey onstage for a powerful rendition of “Amen,” the two artists trading verses like old friends. Later, Drew Baldridge returned for a massive, beer-raising cover of “Friends in Low Places” that turned Rod Laver Arena into one big honky-tonk choir.
Between hits like “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” “Halfway to Hell,” “Bottle and Mary Jane,” and “Son of a Sinner,”Jelly balanced pain and praise, struggle and salvation. The fire and pyro might have been spectacular, but it was his authenticity that burned brightest.
A covers medley — “Sweet Home Alabama,” “How You Remind Me,” “Party Up,” “Flowers,” and “Young, Wild & Free” — A Night to Remember started to show Jelly’s energy waning.
Jelly Roll took to the rear stage alone for the finale “Save Me.” As rain began to pour down over him creating an unfiltered cinematic moment — he sang like a man laying everything bare – the crowd fixated on every word. It was Jelly’s symbol of redemption and why his story resonates so deeply with so many people.
It was powerful, emotive, and honest show that blurred genres and boundaries — proof that Jelly Roll is on the journey to redefining himself and his music.
“Majestically maneuvering between indie rock, trip-hop, psychedelia, dream-pop, darkwave, shoegaze, and garage punk, among many other sounds and textures, THE HORRORS enraptured the spectators at Dark Mofo in a sonically wondrous journey. The five-piece undeniably bring ‘all wonders to light’ with their scintillating soundscapes and lustral gothic poetry, which coalesce entrancingly in magnificence.”
– William Oakeshott (Wall Of Sound)
Earlier this year, The Horrors made a captivating exclusive appearance at Dark Mofo in Hobart and treated Melbourne fans to an intimate Live at 3RRR set ahead of the festival. The visit marked the group’s first Australian shows since 2012, when they appeared at Laneway Festival alongside a run of headline shows in support of their third studio album Skying.
In April 2026, The Horrors are set to return to Australia for a headline national tour, today announcing dates in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth.
After nearly 20 years making music, few bands have created a canon as determinedly innovative and consistently acclaimed as The Horrors. Emerging as zeitgeist-shaking garage-goths on their 2007 debut Strange House, before taking a sharp left turn for their Mercury-nominated follow-up Primary Colours, The Horrors have continually evolved — roaming freely between genres.
Their 2011 album Skying won the NME Award for Best Album, while V (2017) was hailed as “a triumph” by The Guardian in a five-star review. Their 2021 EPs Lout and Against The Blade ushered in a new era with their most industrial and uncompromising sound yet.
Now, with their brand new album Night Life, The Horrors return with a record of weight and space; of melancholy and euphoria. It’s a work that entwines the visceral and the sublime — the thoughts that bloom under cover of darkness, when the rest of the world sleeps. Night Life rekindles the raw, instinctive spirit of their early years while expanding their sonic reach into thrilling new territory.

Joining Daniel onstage to guide the chaos is beloved broadcaster, musician and unicorn, Double J’s Dylan Lewis (aka D Lord The Prophet), alongside Luke Eblen (Creative Director). Lewis will take the mic as MC, alongside Ebflow and Dr Dream. Known for his infectious energy, quick wit and deep love of music, Dylan first burst into living rooms as the host of ABC’s cult ’90s music show Recovery, redefining how a generation connected with live music.
Since then, Dylan’s carved out a celebrated career across radio and television, from winning hearts (and trophies) on Celebrity Big Brother and I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, to soundtracking lives on Double J, triple j, Nova and beyond. Whether on stage with one of his funk bands or choirs, or behind the mic on the radio or in front of the camera on telly, Dylan brings a rare mix of warmth, chaos and rizz – the perfect guide for an unforgettable night of conversation, storytelling and sonic exploration with Daniel. He loves you. Boom.
This is your chance to be part of something truly unrepeatable – an evening of deep dives, stories, music, and surprises with Daniel Johns as he celebrates What If The Future Never Happened? and the 30th anniversary of Frogstomp. Don’t wait. Tickets are nearly gone!
