Formed in Western Sydney in 1978, The Radiators were originally lumped in with the New Wave scene in Sydney but in reality were a pub rock band with a sense of humour. In their hey-day they were one of the hardest working bands in Australia, touring constantly and racking up over 2,500 gigs by the early 1990s.

In his most expansive project yet, internationally renowned artist Rone is set to take over one of Melbourne’s most iconic locations with Time: an epic new installation that will occupy Flinders Street Station’s hidden third floor and ballroom, bringing a lost era of Melbourne history back to life. Over three years since its inception, Time opened to the public on Friday 28 October.

American comedy glam metalheads Steel Panther performed the final show of their Heaps & Loads Tour of Australia at Melbourne’s Margaret Court Arena on Sunday 23 October 2022. Led by Ralph “Michael Starr” Saenz on lead vocals, the band also comprises. Russ “Satchel” Parrish on guitar, Darren “Stix Zadinia” Leader on drums, and newest member Joe “Spyder” Lester on bass – the band’s tour manager, as well as Starr’s and Satchel’s former bandmate from The Atomic Punks.

Aussie rock heroes Airbourne played a hometown show at Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne on Sunday 23 October 2022, as the fourth and final show of their Heaps & Loads Tour supporting Steel Panther. Led by brothers Joel O’Keeffe (lead vocals, lead guitar) and Ryan O’Keeffe (drums), Airbourne also includes Justin Street (bass) and Jarrad Morrice (rhythm guitar), who performed his first home state show with them tonight.

The ‘HEAPS & LOADS’ tour marks the largest venues that Steel Panther will have ever played in Australia. Due to growing demand every time they return down under, mixed with countless rave reviews, the Californian outfit land in Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne for a handful of enormous shows!

Airbourne are a straightforward rock band in the Aussie pub rock tradition of AC/DC, the Angels, and Rose Tattoo: four guys with beers in hand who would rather die than be caught wearing a pink shirt.

Multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker brought his psychedelic Tame Impala music project to Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Saturday 22 October 2022, as part of the Slow Rush Tour of Australia & New Zealand.

Brimming with their trademark blazing guitar riffs and solos, soaring falsetto and immeasurable rock ‘n’ roll extravagance, The Darkness were operating at their loosest and most extroverted frequency.

They say you’re only as good as your last, and whoever ‘they’ may be, they’re dead right. The Southern River Band epitomise everything about that statement.
