Australia might actually be about to pull this off…

Delta Goodrem has officially stormed through to the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 – and after THAT performance, people are genuinely starting to wonder if she could go all the way.

Delta Goodrem – Eclipse (LIVE) | Australia ?? | Second Semi-Final | Eurovision 2026

Performing her dramatic power ballad Eclipse during Semi Final Two in Vienna, Goodrem didn’t just break Australia’s rough recent Eurovision qualification streak, she absolutely detonated online discourse in the process, surging into second place across fan polls and betting odds following the broadcast.

At the time of writing, Australia is sitting just behind Finland’s current favourites Linda Lampenius & Pete Parkkonen and their violin-fuelled chaos anthem, Liekinheitin.

And tbh Delta’s staging looked every bit like a winning Eurovision performance.

The Aussie icon emerged inside a giant moon structure before descending onto a glittering golden piano, eventually climbing atop it as hidden lifts raised her skyward for the song’s climactic finale – complete with pyrotechnics, an enormous sun backdrop and a literal eclipse forming behind her.

Subtle? Absolutely not. Eurovision? Extremely.

Fans online immediately began calling it one of the standout performances of the entire semi-final, with many praising both the sheer theatricality of the staging and Goodrem’s powerhouse vocal performance.

And yep – naturally – the outfit also went absurdly hard.

Goodrem wore a custom couture gown created by Sydney label Velani by Nicky in collaboration with House of Emmanuele, featuring roughly 7,000 Swarovski crystals and reportedly requiring more than 500 hours of craftsmanship.

Basically: if you’re gonna do Eurovision, THIS is how you do Eurovision.

“Performing on the Eurovision stage is something I feel so deeply in my heart,” Goodrem said following the performance. “Carrying Australia with me in every note and every moment.”

“It was also incredibly important to me to wear the vision of Australian designers, while weaving in the beauty and elegance of our host city, Vienna.”

This marks Australia’s eleventh appearance at Eurovision overall – and after two years of failing to qualify for the Grand Final, the response to Goodrem’s performance feels especially huge.

It also continues a massive year for the singer, whose Eurovision entry Eclipse topped the Australian AIR Independent Singles Chart following its release back in March.

Now, all eyes turn to Sunday morning’s Grand Final broadcast, where Goodrem will attempt to pull off what would easily go down as one of Australia’s biggest Eurovision moments ever.

And based on the reaction so far… she might actually have a real shot.

How To Watch The Eurovision Grand Final In Australia

Even Deftones aren’t immune to a little gravity after two straight years of near-constant touring.

Fresh off wrapping their massive Australian run withnInterpol this week, frontman Chino Moreno took a surprise tumble onstage during the band’s Auckland show – and, in a moment almost too perfectly on-the-nose to be real, it happened while performing Hole In The Earth:

Yep.

Fan footage (above) from the concert shows Moreno tripping and falling mid-song before quickly bouncing back to his feet and carrying on like an absolute professional, barely missing a beat as the band powered through the rest of the track.

Honestly? Respect. Most of us would need to leave the country after stacking it that publicly.

Thankfully, Moreno doesn’t appear to have been injured in the fall, and no official statement has been issued following the incident. If anything, it just added another chaotic little footnote to what’s already been a huge touring cycle for the band.

The Auckland performance marked the final stop of Deftones’ Australia and New Zealand tour, which saw the alt-metal icons tear through arenas across the region before heading off to Japan next. After that, the band will continue their seemingly never-ending world domination lap with another extensive European run kicking off in August.

At this point, the fact that Deftones are still performing at this level after nearly two full calendar years of touring is honestly pretty wild.

Still… maybe someone bubble-wrap Chino before the next leg, yeah?

The Fabulous Killjoys are officially back online.

After sending the internet into full detective mode with yesterday’s cryptic teaser post, My Chemical Romance have now confirmed exactly what fans suspected: Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys is getting the deluxe treatment for its 15th anniversary.

My Chemical Romance – ‘Na Na Na’

Landing July 10 via Reprise Records, the newly announced Danger Days (Deluxe Edition) will feature a remastered version of the band’s beloved 2010 album alongside nine bonus tracks – including a bunch of fan-fave rarities and recordings that have either never appeared on streaming services or never received physical releases before.

And honestly? For longtime Killjoys devotees, this thing looks dangerously collectible.

The announcement follows a wave of speculation sparked by MCR’s teaser post featuring the iconic spider logo wrapped around the Roman numeral XV, which promptly sent emo Twitter, Reddit and TikTok into complete meltdown mode. While some fans were hoping it signalled brand new music or an entirely fresh era, the reveal still marks a huge moment for one of the band’s most fascinating and divisive records.

Because let’s be real: Danger Days was a WILD pivot at the time.

When the album first dropped in 2010, My Chemical Romance traded the gothic funeral-parade theatrics of The Black Parade for neon-drenched dystopian chaos, ray guns, muscle cars and radioactive desert vibes. The reaction back then? Mixed. Confused, even.

But over the years, Danger Days has undergone one hell of a cultural reappraisal – evolving from “the weird colourful MCR album” into a genuine cult classic that arguably influenced an entire generation of alternative pop, emo and hyperpop aesthetics.

And now, fans are finally getting a deeper dive into that universe.

Among the bonus material included on the deluxe edition are tracks like Zero Percent, We Don’t Need Another Song About California, Black Dragon Fighting Society and a BBC Radio 1 version of Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na) – alongside live recordings pulled from the band’s 2011 iTunes Festival appearance.

Naturally, MCR are also going all-in on the collector bait. The release will arrive across multiple vinyl variants, including picture disc, zoetrope and coloured pressings, while a special BL/ind tour-exclusive version will be available at select tour dates between July and October.

The announcement lands as the band continue their enormous ongoing Black Parade anniversary run, which resumes next month across the UK and Europe before heading back through North America for a stack of huge arena and stadium dates – including a five-night stand at the Hollywood Bowl (STILL WAITING FOR AUSSIE DATES FYI!!!)

So no, sadly the teaser wasn’t secretly heralding MCR5.

But for the kids who still know every word to Planetary (GO!) and wanted to be Party Poison at least once in their life? This is still a pretty massive deal.

Honestly, can we collectively stop throwing shit at artists on stage now? Because this latest incident could’ve gone a whole lot worse…

Oli Sykes has revealed he suffered a mild concussion after being donked on the head by a phone thrown from the crowd during Bring Me The Horizon’s sold-out show in the US city of St. Louis this week.

Fan footage from the concert showed Sykes visibly disoriented after the incident, repeatedly holding the side of his head while continuing to push through the set. At one point, the vocalist told the crowd he was feeling “dizzy”, with the band ultimately cutting YOUTOPIA from the setlist and scaling back portions of the performance afterwards.

Now, Sykes has addressed the incident directly in a statement posted to social media, confirming he sustained a mild concussion.

“Alright everyone – just wanted to let you know I’m all good,” he wrote. “The phone to the head definitely smarted and I ended up with a mild concussion, but the swelling’s gone down a decent amount.”

“Last night I was struggling a bit on stage afterwards because singing was putting a lot of pressure on the wound and making things feel a bit disorienting while performing, so I’m sorry on my part what may have seemed like a half-hearted performance.”

“Appreciate everyone checking in and worrying about me though. Everything should be fine for tonight’s gig.”

According to posts circulating online, one fan later alleged that the person who owned the phone approached security claiming somebody else had grabbed and thrown it into the crowd. Regardless of who launched it, the incident has once again reignited conversations around increasingly reckless fan behaviour at live shows.

Because let’s be real: hurling a solid object at someone’s head mid-performance isn’t “rock and roll”. It’s just fkn dangerous.

And unfortunately, this is far from the first time artists have been injured by objects thrown from crowds in recent years. Multiple performers across pop, rock and heavy music have been struck by phones and other items during live shows – sometimes seriously enough to halt performances entirely.

Thankfully, Sykes appears to be recovering and the band are expected to continue their North American run, with just a handful of dates remaining before BMTH head into a packed European festival season and later return to North America for their POST HUMAN: NeX GEn – THE THIRD ASCENSION PROGRAM tour dates.

Still… maybe don’t throw projectiles at musicians, k???

Meanjin/Brisbane producer Clovr is officially stepping into a huge new chapter, today announcing his debut album paper elephants – and if new single closer is anything to go by, it’s shaping up to be a seriously immersive ride.

Set for release on Thursday June 11, paper elephants arrives after a prolific run of singles that’s steadily positioned Clovr as one of Australia’s most exciting rising electronic names. And rather than chasing pure dancefloor catharsis, his latest material feels more interested in emotional connection – balancing club-ready energy with genuine introspection.

Clovr – ‘closer’

That sweet spot is all over closer.

Built around shimmering synths, punchy house grooves and a beautifully restrained vocal performance, the track feels equally suited to a euphoric sunset festival set or an existential solo train ride home at midnight. It’s sleek and modern, but there’s warmth underneath it too, the kind of emotional pull that’s quickly becoming Clovr’s signature.

“I went through many versions when I was in Munich,” Clovr explains of the track. “It acts as a soundtrack to my experiences there, as I felt deeply connected to its culture and environment.”

“It’s a stripped-back piece of work that aims to embrace human connection, disengaging from the overwhelming saturation of digital content.”

Honestly? In 2026, that might be the most relatable artistic mission statement imaginable.

paper elephants will also include previous singles complicated, get sum, Friends, Say So and Cold – tracks that have collectively earned support from platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, triple j, NOVA and iHeartRadio, while steadily building Clovr’s reputation as a producer capable of blending emotional storytelling with polished electronic production.

There are traces of Flume, Caribou and Hermitude in the DNA, but Clovr’s sound feels less like imitation and more like someone carving out their own lane between nostalgia and futurism.

“My mum was always blasting Fleetwood Mac in the living room when I was a pup,” he says. “It ignited a curiosity for music.”

That curiosity has already seen him share stages with the likes of Lime Cordiale, Bag Raiders, Luude and Hermitude, while also landing festival appearances at Groovin the Moo and Rhythm and The Reef.

Now, with a debut album finally around the corner, Clovr feels poised to level up in a very big way.

And if closer is any indication, he’s doing it without sacrificing the emotional heartbeat underneath the beats. Take it for a spin up above.

After more than seven years between albums, Australian emo-rock favourites The Beautiful Monument are officially back – and they’re returning bigger, darker and more emotionally explosive than ever.

The band have today announced their long-awaited third studio album Euphoric Thriller, due out Friday August 7 via Greyscale Records, alongside the release of its sultry and emotionally charged title track (stream below).

The Beautiful Monument – ‘Euphoric Thriller’ 

If recent singles Dancing With The Buried and Cry About It hinted that The Beautiful Monument were entering a bold new era, Euphoric Thriller feels like the moment everything fully locks into place.

Described by vocalist Lizi McIntosh as “an emotional rollercoaster” built from “unreleased diary entries”, the album dives headfirst into grief, mental health, identity, survival and the exhausting reality of existing in an increasingly hostile world – but crucially, without losing the band’s sharp sense of catharsis and release.

“If we don’t laugh we cry,” McIntosh explains, “so why not have a good time while internally wallowing in the fiery pits of hell that is the current state of the world.”

The album’s title track perfectly captures that tension between darkness and euphoria. Built around hypnotic verses, soaring hooks and a slick guitar solo, Euphoric Thriller explores the toxic push-pull relationship between a person and their depression.

“It lulls you into a false sense of security and makes you believe that you are not you without it,” McIntosh says. “But deep down you know you need to run.”

It’s the kind of emotionally raw songwriting The Beautiful Monument have built their rep on over the years – balancing vulnerability, heaviness and massive melodic payoff in a way that feels deeply personal without ever losing its punch.

Over the past twelve months, the band have been quietly rebuilding and reconnecting, working alongside producer Chris Lalic (Windwaker, RinRin, Headwreck) to craft what they’re describing as some of their favourite material to date.

And judging by the response so far? Fans have been more than ready.

The Melbourne four-piece – comprised of Lizi McIntosh, Amy McIntosh, Alex Manhire and Adam Pinzone – have steadily carved out their place as one of Australia’s most beloved alternative acts, sharing stages with everyone from Evanescence through to Sleeping With Sirens, while also becoming festival favourites at events like Good Things Festival, Download Festival and UNIFY Gathering.

They’re currently midway through a national tour supporting Hellions, before setting sail later this year on Destroy All Lines’ HELLBOUND CRUISE.

And with Euphoric Thriller finally on the horizon, it feels very much like The Beautiful Monument are stepping into a powerful new chapter – one forged equally from pain, resilience and the beautifully chaotic act of surviving it all.

After nearly 16 years of fiercely heartfelt punk rock, community building and tireless touring, Melbourne/Naarm outfit Chasing Ghosts have announced they’re heading into an indefinite hiatus.

The First Nations-led group confirmed the news in a heartfelt message sent to fans, with frontman and proud Thungutti man Jimmy Kyle revealing the decision ultimately came down to family.

CHASING GHOSTS – ‘FLOWERS’

“Family has to come first,” Kyle wrote. “It’s time for me to be the father my son needs me to be.”

The announcement marks the end of a significant chapter for one of Australia’s most emotionally resonant independent punk acts – a band that spent the better part of two decades blending raw honesty, social commentary and deeply personal storytelling into a catalogue that struck a chord with fans across Australia and beyond.

“I started Chasing Ghosts before I even owned a guitar,” Kyle reflected. “I borrowed my dad’s just to write those first songs that became Confessions From a Phone Booth nearly 16 years ago.”

From those early DIY beginnings, Chasing Ghosts went on to tour extensively throughout Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Europe and the UK, while releasing a string of acclaimed records including I Am Jimmy Kyle, Homelands and last year’s powerful third album, Therapy.

Along the way, Kyle also acknowledged key collaborators and supporters who helped shape the band’s journey, including Andrew Neufeld, producer Lincoln LeFevre and Stevie Knight, while also thanking fans for turning the project into “more than just a band”.

“You helped turn this into more than just a band – you made it a community,” he wrote.

Kyle also paid tribute to bandmates Benny Clark and Josh Burgan, explaining that all three members are now balancing parenthood and family responsibilities alongside music.

“Our drummer Benny deserves that same opportunity, and Josh is already doing an incredible job balancing life with his two beautiful girls,” he wrote.

Before stepping away, Chasing Ghosts will play three intimate farewell shows – their final interstate performance taking place at Darling Nikki’s in Sydney on May 15, before the band close things out for good at Melbourne’s Northcote Social Club on June 25 and 26 (already sold out).

“These will be incredibly special nights, and we’d love for you to be there with us one last time,” Kyle said.

The band also confirmed that remaining online merch stock will be their final print run.

While the future of Chasing Ghosts remains uncertain, the impact they’ve had on Australia’s punk and alternative scene – particularly as a proudly First Nations-led voice within heavy music – is undeniable.

And judging by the outpouring of love already flooding social media, this hiatus is going to leave a pretty significant hole in the community they helped build.

CHASING GHOSTS — FINAL SHOWS 2026

• Friday 15 May – Darling Nikki’s, Sydney, NSW
• Thursday 25 June (NEW SHOW ADDED) – Northcote Social Club, Melbourne, VIC
• Friday 26 June (SOLD OUT) – Northcote Social Club, Melbourne, VIC

There’s a certain kind of late-night loneliness that hits differently when you’re thousands of kilometres away from home – and Meanjin/Brisbane R&B artist Jordan Briton bottles that feeling beautifully on his lush new single, Satellite.

Fresh off the back of a breakout few years – including a Queensland Music Award win for 2023’s make it easy featuring JUNO – Briton has returned with what might be his most emotionally resonant release yet: a polished slice of atmospheric R&B soaked in longing, nostalgia and “what if?” energy.

Jordan Briton – ‘Satellite’

Co-produced alongside longtime collaborator Sam Woods, Satellite floats on silky vocals, glossy synth textures and a slick groove that feels tailor-made for solitary night drives and emotionally catastrophic situationships alike. There’s warmth in it, but also distance – which makes sense, given the story behind the track.

“In early 2025, I booked a solo trip to the Philippines, somewhere I hadn’t been since I was a child,” Briton explains. “After my most successful single to date, the awards still felt empty. I realised I’d been pursuing music to show people how high I could climb rather than enjoying the journey for myself.”

While reconnecting with family overseas, Briton met a local singer-songwriter – and the resulting long-distance relationship became the emotional core of Satellite.

“I’d never pursued a long-distance relationship before, but I knew I’d regret not trying,” he says. “‘Satellite’ captures that genuine yearning of ‘if only’ put to music.”

There’s something beautifully cinematic about the whole thing – fitting, considering the accompanying lyric visualiser draws direct inspiration from iconic filmmaker Wong Kar-wai and films like Chungking Express. Shot in a single take from the backseat of a car, the clip frames Briton’s eyes through a rearview mirror, leaning fully into that dreamy, transient feeling of romance suspended in time.

“The use of mirrors gives the illusion that things aren’t always what they seem,” Briton explains. “Ultimately, my long-distance relationship didn’t work out after those five months, but in those moments, it felt like I was living in my own movie.”

Born in the US and raised in Australia, Briton has increasingly carved out his own lane within the country’s alternative R&B scene, pulling influence from artists like Daniel Caesar, Mac Ayres and grentperez, while also drawing deeply from his Filipino heritage and family history.

“My Lola and Lolo were born and raised in the Philippines and they worked hard and overcame a lot of hurdles to provide a different life for us here in Australia,” he says. “I am very grateful for their sacrifice which has given me the privilege to pursue my passion.”

Satellite marks the first taste of Briton’s forthcoming debut album Slow Burn, with five more singles set to arrive across the coming months – and if this track is any indication, he’s entering a seriously exciting new era.

If your ideal night out involves circle pits, shredded vocal cords and riffs heavy enough to level a small building, clear your calendar for October.

Modern metal heavyweights Lamb of God and Trivium have officially announced a massive Australian co-headline tour for 2026, with Scottish metal bruisers Bleed From Within joining the bill as special guests.

Lamb of God – ‘St. Catherine’s Wheel’

The arena run kicks off in Perth on Friday October 2 before tearing through Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane across a stacked five-date national tour.

For Lamb Of God, the run marks their first full Australian tour in close to a decade – and arrives off the back of their recently released album, Into Oblivion. Across nearly three decades, the Richmond metal institution have cemented themselves as one of the defining forces of modern heavy music, helping shape the New Wave Of American Heavy Metal movement while building a catalogue packed with genre staples like Laid To Rest, Redneck and Walk With Me In Hell.

Their live rep has remained just as formidable, with the band spending years sharing stages with the likes of Metallica, Slayer, Slipknot and Megadeth. Aussie fans last caught them at Knotfest in 2024, where their Melbourne headline sideshow was widely praised as an absolute masterclass in modern metal chaos.

Meanwhile, Trivium return to Australia after their own standout Knotfest run in 2023, continuing a career that’s seen them evolve from metalcore prodigies into one of heavy music’s most versatile and enduring modern acts. Across the years, the Florida outfit have woven together thrash, melodic death metal, prog and groove influences into a sound entirely their own, scoring GRAMMY nominations and multiple chart successes along the way.

And then there’s Bleed From Within – one of the UK’s most respected modern heavy exports – bringing their crushing hybrid of metalcore, groove and death metal into the mix. Fresh off 2025’s Zenith, the Glasgow band continue to go from strength to strength, earning a rep as one of the tightest and hardest-hitting live acts in the game.

Safe to say: this lineup is stacked.

Suss all the details down below.

If your idea of a perfect night out involves gigantic riffs, sweaty rooms and the spiritual experience of being emotionally flattened by groove-heavy desert rock… congratulations, Slomosa are finally coming to Australia.

And honestly? It sounds like they’re just as excited – and mildly terrified – as the rest of us are.

Slomosa – ‘Battling Guns’

The Norwegian quartet have spent the past few years quietly building one of the strongest cult followings in modern heavy rock, blending fuzzy stoner riffs, grunge hooks and punk energy into what they’ve lovingly dubbed “Tundra Rock”. Think Kyuss if they were raised in the Arctic instead of the desert. Or Queens of the Stone Age with seasonal depression.

Now, after years of Aussie fans flooding their inboxes demanding a tour, Slomosa are finally making good on the promise this month with debut headline dates across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

“It’s as far away from home as we can get,” frontman Benjamin Berdous laughs. “So it’s pretty special to play there.”

And while the band have toured relentlessly through Europe and the US – sharing stages with everyone from Alkaline Trio to stoner rock royalty like Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri – Australia has remained one of those mythical bucket-list destinations, hovering just out of reach.

Until now.

“We’ve been getting messages from Australian fans for years,” Berdous says. “‘You come to Brazil, you come to Mexico… when are you coming to Australia?’ So now’s the time.”

Naturally, the band already have a few very important Australian priorities lined up.

“The obvious one is the Opera House,” he says. “We have to take the picture.”

There’s also beaches, wildlife, deserts… and apparently a deeply ingrained fear of our spiders.

“When I think about Australia I just think snakes and spiders,” he laughs. “But we play desert rock music, so it’s always nice to go to countries with deserts.”

What Slomosa seem most curious about though is the crowds – particularly Australia’s reputation for absolute mayhem at rock shows.

“You always hear Australians are outgoing and funny,” Berdous says. “Americans don’t give a fuck at gigs, and I hope Australians are the same way.”

Given the band’s live rep, it’s fair to say things could get very loose very quickly.

Part of what makes Slomosa so compelling is the weirdly universal appeal of their music. Sure, the DNA is deeply rooted in classic stoner rock and grunge, but their songs are catchy in a way that sneaks up on you – massive riffs colliding with melodies that stick in your head for days afterwards.

Which is something Berdous himself still seems slightly shocked by.

“I never thought ordinary people would latch onto desert rock,” he says. “But we have fans now who aren’t traditional rock fans or stoners… and I’m pretty proud of that.”

That crossover appeal has helped turn Slomosa from underground darlings into one of heavy music’s fastest-growing global names. And if their latest album Tundra Rock is anything to go by, they’re only getting bigger.

Not that they’re thinking small. When asked about future ambitions, Berdous casually drops perhaps the most metal answer imaginable: playing on the moon.

“I guess that’s not achievable,” he laughs. “But we could be the first band to do that.”

Honestly? At this rate, who knows.

For now though, Australia will have to do – and something tells us these shows are about to leave a pretty serious mark.

Because if Slomosa’s towering riffs, absurd grooves and full-body live energy translate here the way they have everywhere else… Aussie heavy fans might be about to discover their next obsession.

Peep their full list of 2026 debut Australian tour dates and grab yourself tickets down below.

There’s a very real chance you’ve already heard Dexter and The Moonrocks without actually realising it yet.

Maybe it was the viral spiral of Sad In Carolina. Maybe your TikTok algorithm force-fed you Ritalin at 2am. Maybe it was the gloriously unhinged, anxiety-fuelled catharsis of their latest breakout anthem Freakin’ Out. Either way, the Texas “Western Space Grunge” weirdos are rapidly becoming one of alternative rock’s most unavoidable new names – and now, they’re officially headed Down Under for the very first time.

Dexter and The Moonrocks – ‘Freakin’ Out’

Fresh off racking up millions of streams, selling out venues across the US and landing themselves on the lineup for Australia’s massive country crossover fest Strummingbird alongside Post Malone, Dexter And The Moonrocks are currently sitting in that beautiful sweet spot where a band is just beginning to explode in real time.

And tbh? They’re still struggling to wrap their heads around it all.

“I think it’s very surreal,” drummer and vocal harmonizer Ryan Fox laughs over Zoom from the US. “It’s one thing to be like, ‘Oh yeah, we’re gonna be the biggest band in the world’, and then it’s another thing to actually have a massive song and realise what that entails.”

That massive song, of course, is Freakin’ Out – the band’s furious, fuzzed-out anxiety spiral that recently smashed its way onto charts around the world, including the official ARIA Top 50 here in Australia. And while plenty of viral rock moments burn bright and disappear fast, Dexter And The Moonrocks feel like they’ve got something stickier going on: genuine fan connection.

“We’ve been posting the song for like nine weeks now,” Fox says. “And instead of fans being like, ‘This is annoying, stop posting this’, they’ve just been super supportive and like, ‘No, keep pushing it. We love this for you.’”

That support has helped propel the band from tiny-town Texas nobodies into one of heavy alt-rock’s fastest-rising cult success stories – despite, as Fox points out, coming from a place where there basically wasn’t even a local music scene to grind through.

“The local scene didn’t exist,” he admits bluntly. “We had to drive like two-and-a-half hours just to get into a scene… and even then they’d pay us 300 bucks and tell us to go fuck off.”

Instead, like a lot of modern breakout acts, Dexter And The Moonrocks built themselves online – embracing internet culture, memes, trends and fan interaction in a way older-school rock bands often still seem terrified of.

And Fox? He absolutely loves it.

“I’m a musician who happens to be good at being an influencer,” he laughs. “Even though we try not to be influencers.”

That online presence has become a huge part of the band’s identity. While their music taps into grimy grunge riffs, southern rock swagger and emotional carnage, their social media presence feels surprisingly wholesome – documenting everything from old day jobs to sold-out tours in a way that makes fans feel like they’re genuinely along for the ride.

And now, that ride’s heading to Australia.

For Dexter And The Moonrocks, these upcoming dates won’t just mark their Aussie debut, they’ll actually be the band’s first-ever international shows – full stop. Which is pretty wild when you consider the scale they’re already operating at.

“We come from a super tiny town of like 700 people,” Fox says. “So it’s crazy that we’re gonna go 15-plus hours around the world and play on an entirely different continent.”

Naturally, he’s already preparing himself for some culture shock.

“I wanna go surfing. I wanna explore the beaches and wildlife,” he confesses. “And I’m very excited to be freaked out by driving on the wrong side of the road.”

As for one iconic Aussie delicacy? Well… things aren’t off to a great start.

“I’ve tried Vegemite,” he laughs. “That’s terrible. I don’t know how y’all eat that shit.”

Fair enough, tbh.

But perhaps most excitingly for Aussie crowds, Fox says the band are genuinely curious to see if local audiences live up to their rep for absolute chaos.

“You always hear how rowdy Australians are,” he says. “And for us, making heavy, angry, grungy music… I’m like, wow. Are the crowds gonna be crazier over there than they are in the States?”

Given how quickly these shows are likely to fill up, we may be about to find out.

And if Dexter And The Moonrocks have their way? This whole thing is only getting started.

“I want us to be the biggest band since Queen,” Fox says with a grin. “I want to sell out cricket stadiums in Australia.”

Big talk? Sure. But considering what this band’s managed to pull off in just the last couple of years, you probably shouldn’t bet against them.

The Goose setlist for “The Spring 2026 Tour” has been revealed. Goose is known for shows that don’t follow a fixed script, so songs often stretch out or change depending on the night. Instead of sticking to one pace, the band moves between longer jam sections, tighter songs, and slower builds that grow over time. Because of that, their live shows feel more open and less predictable than most. For the Spring 2026 Tour, they are expected to keep that same approach and pull from different parts of their catalog while still leaving space to improvise.

What songs are on the Goose’s The Spring Tour 2026 setlist?

The following is what Goose is expected to play in their setlist for The Spring 2026 Tour. This comes from the first few shows and recent setlists, where some songs appear more often while others rotate in and out. Even though the band doesn’t follow one strict order, they still build the night around a loose structure with two main sets and an encore. Because of this, each show feels different, but it still holds together in a familiar way. Looking at those early performances, it becomes easier to see how they shape each night instead of repeating the same set. As always, this expected setlist is subject to change.

Set 1:

1. Atlas Dogs
2. Animal
3. Dustin Hoffman
4. Your Direction
5. Lead Up

Set 2:

1. The Empress of Organos
2. Jed Stone
3. Pancakes (Great Blue cover)
4. Give It Time
5. Big Modern!
6. 726
7. Hot Tea

Encore:

1. Eminence Front (The Who cover)

As the show goes on, the set can still shift depending on how the night is coming together. If the crowd reacts strongly to a certain part, that can push the band to stay in that space a bit longer instead of moving on quickly. The stage side plays a role too, since lighting, visuals, and transitions can affect how smoothly one section moves into the next. At the same time, the band makes calls in the moment, like moving a song around or changing how long something runs if it feels better that way. These small changes keep the show flexible without throwing off the overall flow.

The Spring 2026 Tour leans directly into what Goose does best on stage. Instead of locking everything into a strict plan, the band keeps the set flexible so songs can grow and shift as they play. Some tracks act as starting points, but from there, they can head in different directions depending on the night. As a result, the show feels more open and less predictable, while still coming together in a way that makes sense by the end.

What songs are on the Louis Tomlinson How Did We Get Here? Tour setlist?

The following is what Louis Tomlinson is expected to play in his setlist for the How Did We Get Here? Tour. This comes from the first few shows, where the set is already starting to make sense. A lot of the newer songs take up most of the night, and the older ones come in at points where they stand out more. It doesn’t feel messy or random, there’s a clear way it’s been put together. As always, this expected setlist is subject to change.

1. Lemonade
2. On Fire
3. Written All Over Your Face
4. Out of My System
5. Bigger Than Me
6. Saturdays
7. Dark to Light
8. Broken Bones

18. Kill My Mind
19. Face the Music
20. Silver Tongues

Encore:

1. The Answer
2. Miss You
3. Palaces

As the show goes on, things don’t stay exactly the same every night. Louis might move a song around if it fits better somewhere else or if the set just feels like it needs a small change in that moment. He also spends time talking to the crowd, and those little pauses or interactions can shift how the next part of the show comes in. Mostly, it’s just about keeping the flow right rather than sticking to one fixed order. They’re not major changes, but it’s enough to keep it from feeling unique every show.

The How Did We Get Here? Tour feels very in line with how Louis usually performs live. It’s not built around big visuals or anything over the top, it’s more about the songs and how they come across in the moment. The newer tracks do most of the work, but the familiar ones still land as the main highlights when they show up. The whole set moves at a steady pace without trying to force big moments too often. By the end, it all comes together in a way that feels simple, consistent, and easy to stay with from start to finish.

The Black Veil Brides setlist for the “North American Tour 2026” has been revealed. Black Veil Brides is known for dramatic visuals, heavy guitar-driven songs, and a stage style that feels big without losing control. Their shows usually move between fast, loud tracks and slightly slower moments that still carry the same intensity. That contrast keeps the set from feeling flat while still holding onto one strong mood. The 2026 tour is expected to follow that same direction, with a mix of newer songs and the tracks fans always look out for.

What songs are on the Black Veil Brides North American Tour 2026 setlist?

The following is what Black Veil Brides is expected to play in their setlist for the North American Tour 2026. This comes from the first few shows, where the overall shape of the night is already starting to come through. Some of the newer songs seem to guide how the set is built, while the more familiar tracks are placed in spots where they stand out more. It doesn’t feel thrown together, there’s a clear pattern that can be seen. As always, this expected setlist is subject to change.

1. Knives and Pens
2. Bleeders
3. Coffin
4. Rebel Love Song
5. Hallelujah
6. Faithless
7. Wake Up
8. Scarlet Cross
9. Vindicate (live debut)
10. Certainty (live debut)
11. Ritual (electric live debut)
12. Beautiful Remains
13. Wretched and Divine
14. Revenger (live debut)
15. Sweet Blasphemy
16. The Legacy
17. Perfect Weapon
18. Lost It All
19. Fallen Angels
20. In the End

Once the show gets going, small things can still change depending on how the night is playing out. The crowd’s energy can push certain parts to feel bigger, especially during the heavier songs. The stage side matters too, since lighting, visuals, and transitions can affect how different songs fit together. At the same time, the band can adjust things themselves if another song works better in that spot or if the flow needs it. These small changes help the show feel more natural without changing its main structure.

The North American Tour 2026 fits closely with the kind of live show Black Veil Brides has built over time. The set keeps a strong, consistent tone, but still leaves room for different types of songs to come in without breaking that feel. The bigger tracks land as the main highlights, while the rest of the set fills in around them in a way that feels smooth. By the end, the whole show feels connected and steady without losing its impact.

The Olivia Dean setlist for “The Art of Loving Tour” has been revealed. Olivia Dean is known for shows that feel warm, emotional, and very easy to connect with. Her live sets usually move through softer songs, light groove-heavy tracks, and a few bigger moments without ever feeling too heavy. There’s a calm, steady feel to her performances that stands out compared to louder, more high-energy tours. The Art of Loving Tour follows that same direction, with a set that focuses on her newer album while still bringing in songs people already know well.

What songs are on the Olivia Dean The Art of Loving Tour setlist?

The following is what Olivia Dean is expected to play in her setlist for The Art of Loving Tour. This comes from the opening shows, where the structure of the night is already starting to come through. A large part of the set draws directly from The Art of Loving, with several songs from the album appearing early on and shaping the overall mood of the show. Other tracks from earlier projects are added in between to keep things from feeling too similar throughout. Those first few performances give a clear idea of how the set is being arranged across the tour. As always, this expected setlist is subject to change.

Main stage:

1. The Art of Loving
2. Nice to Each Other
3. Lady Lady
4. So Easy (To Fall in Love)
5. Close Up
6. Let Alone the One You Love
7. Messy
8. UFO
9. Touching Toes
10. I’ve Seen It
11. Carmen
12. Echo

1. Baby Steps
2. Ladies Room
3. Move On Up (Curtis Mayfield cover)
4. OK Love You Bye
5. It Isn’t Perfect But It Might Be
6. Dive
7. Man I Need

As the show moves along, a few parts of the set can still shift based on what feels right in the moment. Olivia may change the order slightly if a song fits better at a different point in the night or flows more naturally there. She also spends time connecting with the audience between songs, and those small interactions can influence how the next section plays out. These changes are usually minor, but they help the performance feel more personal and less fixed from one show to the next.

The Art of Loving Tour is built mainly around The Art of Loving album, so the set naturally keeps that at the center of the night. Most of the songs and the overall mood come from that project, which gives the show a clear direction instead of feeling all over the place. The rest of the set fits in around it, adding a bit of variety without taking focus away from the album itself. Because of that, the whole performance feels more intentional and tied together from start to finish.
