To say Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders arrived onto the Mary’s Underground stage with swagger and clout would be an understatement.

The duo's delicately plucked guitars blend together so mellifluously that it makes you wonder whether the contribution of electricity to popular music might have been overrated.

Buoyed by the reaction from the crowd, Cavetown play like a band who know they can't fail.

The economics of touring is getting tougher in the current climate, but bills like this not only make it viable to bring international bands out but also leave punters feeling very satisfied.

The production is huge, the sound is huge, and tonight’s 90-minute set truly gives the fans every penny of their money’s worth. 

Despite a bustling bar queue that occasionally broke the hypnosis, it was a very special and intimate experience that is unlikely to be seen much more, if at all.

'The Eras Tour' is, first and foremost, Taylor Swift’s victory lap. But at three and a half hours long to her largest-ever audience at the MCG, it’s a victory marathon.

As the setlist unfolded, each song was greeted with genuine cheers for both new and old material, a testament to the enduring appeal of Blind Guardian's music. 

The band didn’t miss a step all evening, making some pretty complex material seem effortless and ethereal.
