Exactly - there was a report of 7News tonight (including an interview with him), and immediately rolled by eyes.

Sure report that there was an incident, but focus on security breach, issue with stadium security, etc - don’t give him the attention that he seeks (he said that she does it for fun).

Completely forgot about that.

While Sabrina Carpenter has exploded in popularity ever since she opened for Taylor Swift at the Melbourne and Sydney Eras Tour shows earlier this year, I have known her music since 2018 at the earliest, when she featured in a song titled “Alien” with Jonas Blue.

Also yesterday, DJO (real name Joe Keery) was announced as one of the acts to play at the Laneway Festival in February.

Steve Lacy was one of the headline acts this year, he also played a show at the Sydney Opera House in January.

It could be a busy concert season in late 2025 - I’ve heard there may be a few more announcements early next year. The NSW govt is keen to utilise Allianz Stadium too now the restrictions have been lifted

Last year was big (even if you took Taylor Swift’s concerts out) - this year (into early next year) was looking a bit thin until a few months ago, late next years concerts have been announced what feels like really early.

Veteran concert promoter Michael Coppel revealed that Oasis were offered gigs in other Aussie cities but didn’t take them up on the offer.

He also batted down fan theories that the Gallagher brothers could be yet to announce further shows, insisting their global tour schedule is already jam-packed.
