Live Review: Big Day Out
The night was then closed with an incredible set by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. One of the world’s most celebrated rock bands, the group certainly lived up to their title as they faced a packed-out main arena.

Live Review: Homebake 2012
The best performance of the day was, however, without a shadow of a doubt, given by the unbelievably enigmatic and immeasurably talented Kimbra. One of the highlights of the set was her performance of Two Way Street, where she displayed her incredible ability to sing, dance and play complex tambourine rhythms simultaneously.
