"The Kooks brought their A-game to the Hordern and shared a set that certainly made up for all those uneasy ones in their 20s."

"The pair completely laid waste to Fremantle Oval to the point that not even they would have expected."

"Lloyd-Watson and McFarland hold guitars up high over their heads in a display of rockstar showmanship and strobes flicker to the beat."

"A wondrous, kaleidoscopic spectacle, that requires nothing more from its audience than well-deserved awe."

"Quite simply, a fabulous spectacle."

"Obscuring his face from the audience made it clear that Staples wasn't there to flatter anyone."

"You could almost feel the crowd exert a collective sigh of relief as they screamed the lyrics back to Gallagher, revelling in the fact that we could now tick this off our bucket lists."

"Water does strange things to sound. It bends it, stretches it, fractures it, dulls it, swallows it and to us it becomes an alien simulacrum of the thing we land-dwellers experience."

"The rejuvenating power of breathing the same air as Gallagher should never be underestimated. His superstar status is epic..."
