For over 30 years, Josh Davis has expressed his passion, taste, and values through the music he creates as DJ Shadow.The name alone evokes a high watermark for instrumental hip-hop and composition. From his first masterpiece Endtroducing..., to the genre-hopping UNKLE release Psyence Fiction, to the otherworldly elegance of The Private Press and its iconic single “Six Days,” to his underrated Bay Area celebration The Outsider, his work in the ‘90s and first decade of the 2000s is as essential as it is hard-to-pin-down.

In the 2010s, Shadow released the sprawling The Less You Know, the Better, with its muscular forays into rock music, and closed the decade with The Mountain Will Fall and Our Pathetic Age, both very ambitious, risk-taking albums that boasted some of his best rap collaborations by working with Run the Jewels, Nas, and De La Soul, among others. If there’s a single red thread across this career, it's his restless ear, always searching to rescue some forgotten gem from the dustbin of music history or a fresh blast of sound from the cutting edge.

‍

Get ready to move, because Durand Jones & The Indications are set to make their much-anticipated debut Down Under! This soul powerhouse will be bringing their infectious rhythms and silky-smooth energy to Australia and New Zealand in March 2025, promising a string of unforgettable grooves.

From humble beginnings in an Indiana basement to the international stage, Durand Jones & The Indications have become beloved for their dual-lead vocals, anchored by Durand Jones' raw, rasp-tinged croon and Aaron Frazer's soaring falsetto. Their third album, Private Space, takes the band’s crate-digging soul roots and launches them into a fresh sound, blending modern disco beats with classic funk and timeless strings. It’s a perfect mix of the old and new—a slick, sweaty, and undeniably soulful celebration.

Fans can expect a high-energy, joyous show that hits the sweet spot between retro and now. Whether you're a longtime lover of their timeless grooves or someone discovering their sound for the first time, these performances promise to be an unfading experience for the mind, body, and soul.

UK rocnounce their return to Australia with The Dumbstruck Dumbf!*k Tour confirmed

Neck Deep will be heading around the country promoting their recently released self-titled album "Neck Deep", out now on Hopeless Records. Joining them for all dates will be special guests, Albany New York pop punk act State Champs.

In the little over a decade since Neck Deep formed in the Barlow brothers’ spare room in Wrexham, Wales, a lot has changed. From the scrappy, naively hopeful beginnings that define the starting of so many teenage bands, the pop-punks have gone on to be one of British Rock music’s most successful global exports in recent memory: top 5 records in both the US and UK, global touring, viral hits and over a billion streams just some of the fruits of ten years spent mastering their craft.

Rising Irish singer-songwriter DARREN KIELY announces a debut tour of Australia, adding dates to his current international “Never Been Here Before” World Tour in 2025. His personal, folk-infused pop sound promises an intimate and reflective night for fans when he heads around the country next April.

HONNE, aka Andy Clutterbuck and James Hatcher, will head down under with a fresh set of tracks from their much-anticipated fourth studio album OUCH, which dropped in early September.

OUCH is described by Andy as “the most personal and delicate album we’ve created. It’s inward, outward, forward and backward looking and documents my wonderful and daunting journey into parenthood and how that has re-shaped me as a person.”

Deep down HONNE has always been about two people and the friendship between them. Sure, the UK alt-pop duo have reached incredible heights – from those initial humble recording sessions in Bow, East London, they’ve notched up more than three billion streams, selling more than 210,000 tickets for their live shows.

Grammy-nominated R&B soul singer and songwriter BJ the Chicago Kid, born Bryan Sledge, hails from Chicago, Illinois. Known for his gospel-infused vocals and deep connection to classic soul, BJ makes his highly anticipated debut Australian tour in 2025, bringing his smooth blend of R&B, soul, and hip-hop to audiences down under for the first time.

Following the release of his indie EP, 4AM, in 2021, BJ has continued to make waves with new music, including his single "Forgot Your Name" featuring Cory Henry—a smooth pop-soul fusion track from his forthcoming project, Gravy. With midtempo, feel-good production, the song captures the unexpected excitement of a first-time encounter, perfectly blending BJ’s signature style.

BJ first made a name for himself with his debut independent album, Pineapple Now-Laters, in 2012. His breakthrough came in 2014 when he featured on SchoolBoy Q’s Grammy Award-winning hit "Studio." The same year, BJ released The M.A.F.E. Project, featuring collaborations with artists like Freddie Gibbs and Smoke DZA. His major-label debut In My Mind followed in 2016, earning three Grammy nominations, including Best R&B Album, and solidifying his place as one of the genre's most talented voices.

BJ’s career has been defined by collaborations with a wide range of acclaimed artists, including Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Chance The Rapper, Solange, and Eric Bellinger. As he continues to release new music, BJ’s latest project, Gravy, recorded with producer Yeti Beats, promises to elevate his sound further. The album, inspired by the mellow '70s grooves of Al Green and recorded at Memphis' legendary Royal Studios, will feature contributions from Audra Day and Phillip Bailey of Earth, Wind & Fire, among others.

As BJ the Chicago Kid embarks on his debut Australian tour, fans can expect a performance filled with soul-stirring vocals and the deeply emotional sound that has made him a standout in contemporary R&B.

Rag’n’Bone Man returns for his first Australian tour since 2018, bringing his powerful blend of blues and hip hop. Best known for his global hit “Human,” which introduced the world to his signature blend of traditional blues and hip hop, Rag’n’Bone Man, born Rory Graham, has captivated audiences with his deep, soulful baritone and emotionally charged performances. Since his breakthrough, he has continued to solidify his place as one of the most distinctive voices in modern music, earning multiple BRIT Awards and collaborating with artists like Calvin Harris, Gorillaz, and Pink.

Rag’n’Bone Man’s second album, Life By Misadventure, debuted at #1 on the UK charts and included hit singles such as “All You Ever Wanted” and “Anywhere Away From Here.” The album spent seven weeks in the Top 10 and received critical acclaim for its heartfelt lyrics and rich soundscapes. Aussie fans can expect a powerful, soul-stirring performance, revisiting favorites from Human and Life By Misadventure, alongside new material.
