Danish soft-rock favourites Michael Learns To Rock will finally make their Australian debut in February 2026 with the Take Us To Your Heart Tour, bringing their catalogue of classics to Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast.

After a long wait, Anthology 4 from The Beatles will finally be released as a standalone disc this November but the road here hasn’t been smooth.

Ashnikko will be back on Australian and New Zealand stages this September for her six-date Smoochies Tour, following the release of her second album of the same name.

Bruce Springsteen’s stark 1982 masterpiece Nebraska is moving from the bedroom where it was born to the big screen. Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere brings the story of that haunting album to life, with a cast and creative team that take the project seriously.

Bobby Hart, the Grammy-nominated songwriter whose work with Tommy Boyce helped shape the sound of 1960s pop and powered The Monkees’ rise to fame, has died at 86.

Air Supply’s second Melbourne show at Town Hall took an unexpected turn when a female fan collapsed during the closing song of the main set, Making Love Out of Nothing at All.

It’s not often that the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra gets described as “fun.” Respected? Absolutely. Grand? Always. But fun? That’s not the first word you’d reach for. Yet when the MSO shared the stage with Sydney’s Lime Cordiale, fun became the defining theme of the night.

The 39 Steps isn’t just one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see, it’s one of the cleverest. Four actors-David Collins and Shane Dundas (The Umbilical Brothers), Lisa McCune, and Ian Stenlake-play dozens of characters, often switching identities quite literally at the drop of a hat.

Christmas in Brisbane is about to get a whole lot more fun. Local music legend David McCormack, yes, the frontman of Custard and the voice of Bluey’s dad, Bandit, is back with his much-loved Christmas show. This year it’s the Davo ’25 Xmas Spectacular, happening Saturday 6 December at The Cave Inn, Woolloongabba.

Fifty years ago, on September 12, 1975, Pink Floyd released Wish You Were Here, their ninth studio album and the follow-up to the phenomenon that was The Dark Side of the Moon. Few bands in rock history have faced the challenge Pink Floyd did in the mid-1970s: how do you follow up one of the most successful, best-selling and artistically defining albums of all time? Against that backdrop, Wish You Were Here emerged not only as a worthy successor but as one of the group’s most enduring works.

Phil Campbell & The Bastard Sons have pushed their long-awaited Australian tour back to March 2026 following the sudden departure of frontman Joel Peters.

Los Angeles singer-songwriter Blondshell – the stage name of Sabrina Teitelbaum – will return to Australia in February 2026 for a short but powerful run of east coast shows. With her sophomore album If You Asked For A Picture earning rave reviews and cementing her place as one of alternative pop’s most vital new voices, Teitelbaum’s first Australian headline tour promises to showcase both her raw confessional lyricism and her rapidly evolving sound.

Taj Farrant has shared the news that he will be opening for two ZZ Top shows in Arizona this November.

Melbourne: More than two decades have passed since our city last felt the electric, defiant pulse of Hair, the American tribal love-rock musical that defined a generation. On 25 October 2025, the Athenaeum Theatre will light up again for a limited season of this Grammy and Tony Award-winning show, reintroducing its message of peace, freedom and rebellion to both those who remember and those yet to discover it.

The Whitlams Orchestral ’26 Tour will see The Whitlams partner with Australia’s leading symphony orchestras across the country in 2026.

For Jon Stevens’ new album Shimmer, he turned to members of the Rod Stewart band — producer and songwriter Kevin Savigar and guitarist Emerson Swinford — to help craft a record that is as much about live energy as studio polish.

When Noise11 asked former Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell which album from his tenure with the band he was most proud of, his answer was immediate.

The Whitlams already have their 2027 plans pencilled in. Fans can mark the calendar for a full-scale Torch The Moon 25th anniversary celebration, complete with a national tour and a vinyl reissue of the much-loved album.

Good Gumnuts Festival has unveiled its 2026 line-up, with Dope Lemon and The Jungle Giants leading what is set to be the festival’s biggest year yet. The Burnie-based event will return to the Agriplex at Romaine from March 6–8, 2026.

Rick Davies, co-founder of Supertramp and the man behind classics like Goodbye Stranger and Bloody Well Right, has died at the age of 81 after a long battle with cancer. His death was confirmed by the band in a statement, noting he passed away at his home on Long Island on September 5.

Sophistication isn’t difficult to absorb when it arrives at the very un–rock and roll hour of 2pm on a Saturday. Suited up for the occasion, Tim Freedman, Jack Housden, Terepai Richmond and Matt Fell, collectively The Whitlams, joined conductor Nicholas Buc and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra for a rare afternoon of class and drama.

Graham “Buzz” Bidstrup has lived many lives in music. As drummer, songwriter and producer, he’s been Buzz Throckman in The Angels, the driving force behind GANGgajang, the rhythm on Australian Crawl’s “Reckless”, a key player with Jimmy Barnes, and the creative energy behind the Jimmy Little Foundation. Now, he’s put his story into print with his new memoir No Secrets.

Jack Osbourne has doubled down on his criticism of Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters after Instagram flagged and removed his original post, citing it as “hate speech.” The son of Ozzy Osbourne has now reissued his comments in an updated version on Facebook, softening the delivery slightly but keeping his message loud and clear: he believes Waters has lost touch and is using controversy as a way to remain relevant.

Legendary drummer, composer and raconteur Stewart Copeland will return to Australia and New Zealand in January 2026, bringing his acclaimed spoken word show Have I Said Too Much? The Police, Hollywood & Other Adventures to local audiences for the first time.

Jack Osbourne, son of Black Sabbath legend the late Ozzy Osbourne, had this to say to former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters. “F*ck You”.

UK pop phenomenon Five were one of the most successful British boy bands of the late 90s and early 2000s. Formed in 1997 by the same team that created the Spice Girls, Five, Sean Conlon, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson, Abz Love and Jason “J” Brown, were designed to be the tougher, edgier answer to their pop contemporaries. With a mix of slick pop, rap interludes, dance-floor beats and rock influences, Five quickly stormed the charts on both sides of the world.

Phil Campbell’s first major gig as a member of Motörhead wasn’t on a stage – it was on television. Within a week of joining the legendary band in 1984, Campbell found himself on the set of the cult British comedy The Young Ones.

Helen Ryder has released Josephine (Love Is Everything), the second single from her upcoming album Love Over Hate, due 7 November 2025.

John Lennon’s Instant Karma (We All Shine On) has premiered in a newly released live performance video ahead of the arrival of his Power To The People deluxe box set, due 10 October. The track, recorded at Lennon’s One to One concerts at Madison Square Garden in 1972, is one of the standout moments from what would ultimately become the only full concerts Lennon ever performed in his post-Beatles life.
