Just take our money...

More Eminem More Eminem

It's 2019 and the first day back at work for many. In our mind that means we are already making other plans and gig-wise, 2019 is looking pretty damn good. 

Maybe your bank account is looking a little slim after the holiday season but money be damned because there's no such thing as too much live music. These are the gigs (already announced and one where we dare to dream) we are hyped for in 2019.

If you saw his Australian shows in 2011 or 2014, you'll know that an Eminem concert is a must-see event. Add to that, Slim Shady's surprise Kamikaze album was one of 2018's, and his, best. Stadiums across the country will be packed out for these shows and it's easy to see why.

It's Phil Collins, guys. It's his first tour of Australia in over 20 years. What more do you want?

We love rock'n'roll. We love Joan Jett.

Australia can't get enough of this R&B icon. It's Ms Lauryn Hill. Respect the master. 

Our January cover stars, these British rock heavyweights have got a new album and will no doubt put on one helluva show.


Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, anyone? Either one of these acts could deliver a satisfying headline show, so together they're going to offer up a huge skate punk onslaught.


Quick someone break our heart so we can be healed by Florence and her machine when they tour the country this month.  


He’s charming, funny and probably one of the most talented musicians in the world. The last time he toured Australia was back in 2012 and his return promises "old songs, new songs, fuck you songs". The hype is real, as evident by how quickly some of the shows sold out.

Um... if you don't want to go dancing with Kylie Minogue, we can't be friends.

Kevin's back baby! Announced on the Coachella line-up with new music on the way, while nothing in Oz is confirmed, we think it would be a disservice to his home country not to tour here.
