<p><a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/enter-shikari/">Enter Shikari </a>have announced they will go on indefinite hiatus at the end of 2027, bringing more than two decades of near-constant activity to a close &#8211; at least for now.</p>



<p>The UK genre-benders have revealed that, as of 31st December 2027, Enter Shikari will “fall dormant as a recording and performing entity”, with the band admitting they don’t know when &#8211; or indeed if &#8211; they’ll return.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="h-this-dormancy-may-eventually-end-with-an-eruption-back-into-activity-or-may-end-with-extinction-we-have-no-idea-which"><em>“This dormancy may eventually end with an eruption back into activity, or may end with extinction, we have no idea which,” </em></h2>

<p>“This dormancy may eventually end with an eruption back into activity, or may end with extinction, we have no idea which,” the band said in a statement.</p>



<p>Importantly, though, they stressed: “We don’t think we’re splitting up.”</p>



<p>The decision comes as Enter Shikari approach the 20th anniversary of their 2007 debut album, <em>Take To The Skies</em>, with the members reflecting on a musical partnership that began when they were teenagers.</p>



<p>“We’ve been playing music together since we were 15, and friends longer still, but there’s no doubt this is a huge milestone,” they said.</p>



<p>“For the past two decades, we’ve run amok in a cultural landscape that elevates easily-pigeonholed art, so being an Enter Shikari hasn’t always been easy, professionally or personally, with obvious negative impact on one’s mental health when tasked with coming up with the goods.”</p>



<p>The band explained that while their love for Enter Shikari &#8211; and for each other &#8211; remains intact, their lives and priorities have inevitably evolved.</p>



<p>“We are far from being the same kids who recorded that debut album, and as much as we love what we do, and still love being in each other’s company, as humans our priorities and capacities have changed.”</p>



<p>The decision also comes following a recent illness suffered by frontman Rou Reynolds.</p>



<p>However, Enter Shikari stressed that conversations surrounding their future had already begun prior to Reynolds becoming unwell, adding: “To then see a friend in trouble made those conversations more pertinent.”</p>



<p>While there are no plans in the diary beyond 2027, the band aren’t treating the hiatus as a definitive ending.</p>



<p>“Maybe we’ll be like Fugazi and just get together to rehearse for fun, without feeling the need to make anyone else listen to it,” they mused.</p>



<p>“All we really know is after two decades of being a professional band, not having plans three years in advance is liberating.”</p>



<p>There’s still plenty of Enter Shikari to come before dormancy mode officially kicks in.</p>



<p>The band are currently working on new music, which they say fans “should get to hear sooner rather than later”, as well as another yet-to-be-revealed project they’ve recently finished filming.</p>



<p>They also hope to revisit some of their favourite places over the next 14 months, but cautioned fans not to expect an officially branded “farewell world tour”.</p>



<p>For Aussie fans, the news arrives just months after Enter Shikari wrapped up their latest run down under in May, supported by grandson.</p>



<p>“It’s not the sort of statement we thought we’d be making if you’d asked us a year ago, but we felt it was time to let you know our headspace,” the band concluded.</p>



<p>“We really hope we’ll be seeing you over the next 14 months or so, somehow. But if not, all that remains to be said is thank-you for your support, your sweat, your passion, your energy.”</p>



<p>Enter Shikari formed in St Albans in 1999, originally under the name Hybryd, and have since scored six UK Top 10 albums, including their first UK #1 with 2023’s <em>A Kiss For The Whole World</em>.</p>

<p><a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/jimmy-barnes/">Jimmy Barnes</a> has paid tribute to his late friend and fellow Australian rock icon <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/angry-anderson/">Angry Anderson</a> with a cover of<a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/rose-tattoo/"> Rose Tattoo </a>classic <em>Rock ‘n’ Roll Is King</em>, with all proceeds going to Support Act.</p>



<p>Anderson, the legendary Rose Tattoo frontman born Gary Anderson, passed away on 21st September at the age of 79.</p>

<p>“It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Gary ‘Angry’ Anderson on the eve of Monday 21 September 2026, surrounded by his loved ones here in Australia,” his family confirmed in a statement following his death.</p>



<p>“Angry was a devoted father, and much-loved bandmate, friend, and member of the wider music and entertainment community. His loss will be deeply felt by all those who knew and loved him both here in Australia and overseas.”</p>



<p>Now, Barnes has honoured his old mate by releasing his own take on <em>Rock ‘n’ Roll Is King</em>, originally featured on Rose Tattoo’s 1981 album <em>Assault &amp; Battery</em>.</p>



<p>In an emotional statement accompanying the release, the <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/cold-chisel/">Cold Chisel</a> legend reflected on a friendship forged during the formative years of Australian hard rock, when the two bands frequently crossed paths.</p>



<p>“We shared stages, we shared crew members, we even shared equipment at times,” Barnes recalled. “Rock’n’roll was king and we were all young, taking on the world together.”</p>



<p>“He was my friend; my brother in arms. We laughed a lot, talking about taking the rock establishment by the throat and shaking it as hard as we could, in an endless struggle to get the best out of it.”</p>



<p>Barnes acknowledged the pair didn’t always see eye-to-eye, but said their shared love of music remained a constant throughout their friendship.</p>



<p>“Like all mates we saw the world differently at times, but one thing mattered more than all that: we liked the same music; music that came from the heart,” he wrote.</p>



<p>“We liked music with substance, music with backbone, music that moved our souls.”</p>



<p>Barnes also recalled being floored the first time he witnessed Rose Tattoo live, describing them as “the ultimate rock band”.</p>



<p>“They took no prisoners. Played hard. Lived hard,” he said.</p>



<p>“I spent so many nights drinking until dawn with them and their roadcrew that sometimes I almost felt I was one of them.”</p>



<p>He even admitted to covertly cranking the guitar amps of Ian Moss and members of his solo band in an attempt to inject a little more Tatts into their sound.</p>



<p>“They showed those so-called hard rock bands overseas how it was REALLY done,” Barnes continued.</p>



<p>“But out front was always Angry, driving the band harder. Faster. Harder. Faster. If there was ever anyone who deserved to be called a rock’n’roll singer, it was him.”</p>



<p>Barnes had actually recorded his version of <em>Rock ‘n’ Roll Is King</em> prior to Anderson’s death, originally intending it for his previous album.</p>



<p>“I spoke to Angry about covering that song for my last album and he was excited,” Barnes explained. “We cut it but it didn’t make the record for some reason even though I love the recording.”</p>



<p>Sadly, he never got the chance to play it for his friend.</p>



<p>“I couldn’t wait to sit down with Angry and play it to him because the song takes on a whole new meaning for me now, looking back through all those years and all those gigs,” Barnes wrote.</p>



<p>“Rock singers are never in one place for long, so I never got to play it for him.”</p>



<p>Following Anderson’s passing, Barnes decided it was finally time for the recording to see the light of day &#8211; with all proceeds being donated to Australian music industry charity <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/support-act/">Support Act</a>.</p>



<p>“Now that Angry has left us I want to release this song,” Barnes said. “I won’t keep any money it makes, I just want to tip my hat to my mate and let the world know what great songs he and his band wrote.”</p>



<p>“I hope you like it. Turn it up fucking LOUD.”</p>



<p>“Angry’s gone to the Big Gig upstairs but I bet he’ll be listening.”</p>

<p>t’s been seven years since Jonah Marais last touched down in Australia with <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/why-dont-we/">Why Don’t We</a>. Now, he’s finally heading back &#8211; and he’s bringing two very familiar faces along for the ride.</p>



<p>The singer-songwriter will bring <em>The Dreamer Tour</em> down under for five all ages shows this November, joined by fellow Why Don’t We founding members Jack Avery and Zach Herron.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="h-8-letters-why-don-t-we"><br>8 Letters &#8211; &#8216;Why Don&#8217;t We&#8217;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" style="--aspect-ratio:1.7777777777778;" title="8 Letters - Why Don&#039;t We [Official Music Video]" width="720" height="405" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C3DlM19x4RQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>Together, the trio will resurrect fan-fave Why Don’t We tracks including <em>8 Letters</em>, <em>What Am I</em>, <em>Fallin’</em>, <em>Don’t Wake Me Up</em>, <em>Trust Fund Baby</em> and <em>Hooked</em>, alongside Marais’ evolving solo material and a few surprises from Avery and Herron.</p>



<p>For Marais, the Australian return has been a long time coming.</p>



<p>“The last time I was there was 2019,” he tells <em>Music Feeds</em>. “So, you know, it’s been seven years and I’ve just been trying to figure out how to get back there.”</p>



<p>“I think I’m mostly just excited to get back to that part of the world and get to see all the amazing Aussie people, Aussie fans, hear accents, see some koalas, do some great, great, great shows. I’m excited.”</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-those-are-my-brothers">“Those Are My Brothers”</h3>



<p>But this trip carries some extra emotional weight.</p>



<p>Why Don’t We went on hiatus in 2022, and while Marais, Avery and Herron have each followed their own paths in the years since, the bond forged through their whirlwind years together never entirely disappeared.</p>



<p>“There’s this kind of just unspoken brotherhood, I think, that we have no matter what &#8211; probably for the rest of our lives &#8211; because of what we’ve gone through together,” Marais says.</p>



<p>“Those are my brothers. There was definitely a period of time after the group kind of ended where we all sort of went and did our own things for a while, and it’s been so beautiful to reconnect with Jack and Zach like this and get some more time to hang out. I love them so much.”</p>



<p>The three have technically shared a stage since Why Don’t We’s hiatus, with Marais bringing Avery and Herron out for a single song during one of his LA shows last year.</p>



<p>Australia, however, will be something substantially bigger.</p>



<p>“This will be more of an experience,” he says. “I’m excited.”</p>



<p>Remarkably, the whole thing appears to have come together with a healthy dose of spontaneity.</p>



<p>After telling his manager he was desperate to find a way back to Australia, Marais happened to stumble across Avery and Herron livestreaming together later that night.</p>



<p>“I was like, I had this idea,” he recalls. “What if I just asked them to come along?”</p>



<p>And from there, <em>The Dreamer Tour</em> began taking shape.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-bringing-why-don-t-we-songs-back-to-life">Bringing Why Don’t We Songs Back To Life</h3>



<p>For fans who grew up with Why Don’t We, the shows promise plenty of nostalgia.</p>



<p>Marais is assembling a band in Nashville to back the trio on the tour, with the set spanning Why Don’t We favourites as well as music from his solo chapter.</p>



<p>“You’re going to see all your favourite Why Don’t We songs,” he says. “You’ll see some solo songs as well. So it’s just going to be a jam-packed night.”</p>



<p>Marais’ own musical world has expanded considerably since his boyband days, with the singer now exploring country and folk influences while living in Nashville.</p>



<p>“I’m excited to see who shows up,” he says of the Australian dates, adding that he’s been “exploring country music, folk music” and is keen to see how his newer material connects with local fans.</p>



<p>The tour has already provided one fairly compelling demonstration of just how passionate that fanbase remains.</p>



<p>After the Melbourne date was initially booked at an 18+ venue, the promoter was inundated with requests from younger fans asking for the show to be made accessible to them.</p>



<p>The result? The gig was shifted to the Northcote Theatre, making all five Australian dates all ages.</p>



<p>“We got a ton of comments saying, ‘Hey, please, can we please change this?’” Marais explains. “So we talked to the promoter and sure enough, we got it all shifted. So every show is all ages now. So that feels good.”</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-seven-years-later">Seven Years Later</h3>



<p>Marais still has vivid memories of Why Don’t We’s previous Australian adventures, including performing near the Sydney Opera House and appearing at the Logies.</p>



<p>“I remember… performing out there and being like, ‘What? Like, this is crazy. I never imagined I’d be doing music here, you know, in Australia.’ So that was a moment.”</p>



<p>“And then I remember we got to go to the Logie Awards… and we performed at the Logies, which was pretty fun, and got to meet, like, Robert Irwin and some different Aussie artists.”</p>



<p>Seven years later, Marais is returning in a very different chapter of his life and career &#8211; and with a very different perspective on the extraordinary journey he and his bandmates shared.</p>



<p>“At the end of the day, I’m just so incredibly grateful for the journey,” he says.</p>



<p>“I’m grateful for all of it… I think that shaped me and made me a better human.”</p>



<p>And while the transcript gets a little patchy when the conversation turns to the possibility of Why Don’t We’s future, one sentiment comes through clearly: after everything he experienced in the band, Marais feels far better equipped to navigate the music industry on his own terms.</p>



<p>“I’ve learned a lot of lessons and I feel like I’m much more equipped to make big decisions now.”</p>



<p>For now, though, the focus is Australia: five shows, a stack of songs fans haven’t heard performed by these voices in years, and three old friends getting to share the stage again.</p>



<p>Oh, and one other crucial piece of unfinished business.</p>



<p>“I really want to make it a point at some point to try to see a koala,” Marais says. “That’s definitely on the bucket list.”</p>



<p>Someone please get this man to a wildlife sanctuary ASAP!</p>

<p>The tour will kick off at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Friday, 15th January before heading to Perth’s RAC Arena, Melbourne’s MCEC Plenary and Sydney’s TikTok Entertainment Centre. The pair will then hop across the ditch for a final show at Auckland’s NZICC Te Pae Theatre.</p>



<p>Across the evening, Cranston and Paul will look back on the origins of <em>Breaking Bad</em> and lift the lid on their experiences making the series, from its writing and production to filming, mistakes and everything that went on behind the scenes.</p>



<p>They’ll also reflect on what the show took from them &#8211; and what it ultimately gave back.</p>



<p><em>Breaking Bad</em> first hit screens in 2008, starring Cranston as high school chemistry teacher Walter White, who begins manufacturing methamphetamine after being diagnosed with lung cancer in a bid to financially provide for his family.</p>



<p>He teams up with former student Jesse Pinkman, played by Paul, and what follows is five seasons of increasingly cooked decisions as the pair descend deeper into the criminal underworld.</p>



<p>The series would go on to become a pop culture phenomenon and spawn an expanded universe including prequel series <em>Better Call Saul</em> and sequel film <em>El Camino</em>.</p>



<p>The Australian tour announcement also comes just days after <em>Breaking Bad</em> was named the best television program of the 21st century by <em>The New York Times</em>.</p>



<p>Tickets to <em>An Evening With Bryan Cranston &amp; Aaron Paul</em> are on sale now.</p>

<p><a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/silverchair/">Silverchair </a>have finally found something all three members can agree on &#8211; but sadly for fans, it isn’t getting the band back together.</p>



<p>The long-dormant Newcastle rock legends have broken their silence amid feverish calls for them to reunite for this weekend’s <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/nrl/">NRL </a>Grand Final, after their hometown Newcastle Knights booked themselves a spot in the big dance.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="h-for-the-first-time-in-ages-the-three-of-us-actually-agree-wholeheartedly-about-something"><em>“For the first time in ages, the three of us actually agree wholeheartedly about something&#8221;</em></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="691" height="602" src="https://musicfeeds.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2026/10/silverchair.png?w=691" alt="" class="wp-image-575295" srcset="https://musicfeeds.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2026/10/silverchair.png 691w, https://musicfeeds.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2026/10/silverchair.png?resize=300,261 300w, https://musicfeeds.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2026/10/silverchair.png?resize=65,57 65w, https://musicfeeds.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2026/10/silverchair.png?resize=131,114 131w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 691px) 100vw, 691px" /></figure>



<p>Speculation kicked into overdrive following <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/tones-and-i/">Tones And I</a>’s withdrawal from the pre-game entertainment slot, with fans launching a social media campaign calling for Silverchair to step in and Knights legend Andrew Johns even joining the chorus for a reunion.</p>



<p>And now, Daniel Johns, Ben Gillies and Chris Joannou have actually issued a rare joint message in response.</p>



<p>“Is this thing still on?” the band began.</p>



<p>“For the first time in ages, the three of us actually agree wholeheartedly about something: GO KNIGHTS!!!</p>



<p>“It’s all about the Knights this weekend. We love how footy brings this community together, and it’s pretty special watching the whole Steel City get behind the boys.”</p>



<p>But before anyone starts frantically digging their <em>Frogstomp</em> shirt out of storage, there is unfortunately a catch.</p>



<p>“Thanks to everyone who’s asked if we’re playing before the game,” Silverchair continued. “We’re way too rusty, so sorry, no can do.</p>



<p>“We won’t be taking the stage, but we’ll be supporting as loudly as everyone else and there in spirit.”</p>



<p>They signed off: “Wishing the Newy players all the luck in the world this Sunday. UP THE KNIGHTS!!! From The Chair.”</p>



<p>Silverchair’s connection to the Newcastle Knights runs deep.</p>



<p>The band’s meteoric rise in the ’90s coincided with one of the club’s golden eras, with the Knights claiming their first premiership in 1997 &#8211; the same year Silverchair released their second album <em>Freak Show</em> &#8211; before securing another in 2001.</p>



<p>The former victory even spawned a particularly cooked piece of Newcastle folklore, with Andrew Johns famously turning up at Daniel Johns’ house following the 1997 Grand Final win and dragging the young rocker out to celebrate with the victorious team.</p>



<p>Unfortunately for anyone hoping history might repeat itself with a Silverchair reunion 29 years later, the trio haven’t performed publicly together since 2010 and announced their “indefinite hibernation” the following year.</p>



<p>The members’ relationship has also been strained at various points since, with Daniel Johns previously making it emphatically clear that he had no plans to reunite Silverchair.</p>



<p>So while the Newcastle Knights have apparently achieved the rare feat of getting all three members of Silverchair publicly on the same page again, getting them back on the same stage remains another matter entirely.</p>



<p>For now, it seems the closest we’re getting to a Silverchair reunion this weekend is three blokes yelling UP THE KNIGHTS from separate locations.</p>

<p>“It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that we share the news that Conrad ‘Cronos’ Lant has passed away,” Venom wrote.</p>



<p>“For more than four decades, Conrad’s voice, bass and vision were at the heart of VENOM. From the first dark rumblings of <em>Welcome to Hell</em>, through <em>Black Metal</em>, <em>At War With Satan</em>, <em>Possessed</em> and beyond, he created something that changed heavy music forever.”</p>



<p>“VENOM never followed the rules. They forged their own path. And Conrad was there at the centre of it all &#8211; uncompromising, fearless and unmistakable.”</p>



<p>The band also acknowledged the generations of fans &#8211; collectively known as the Legions &#8211; who supported Cronos and Venom throughout their career.</p>



<p>“To everyone who stood with the band through the years, bought the records, came to the shows, wore the shirts, shared the music and kept the flame burning &#8211; Cronos was always grateful for your loyalty and support.”</p>



<p>Cronos’ son Nathan also shared a message following his father’s death.</p>



<p>“I want to thank all of the Legions for all of the support you have given my dad over the years,” he said.</p>



<p>“I know he really appreciated you all. He has laid down his soul, and his music will live on. The legend of Cronos will never die.”</p>



<p>Cronos joined Venom in 1979 and remained with the band until 1988, before returning in 1995 and continuing as its frontman until his death.</p>



<p>Together with guitarist Mantas and drummer Abaddon, Cronos helped create a sound whose impact would reverberate throughout heavy music for decades.</p>



<p>Venom’s seminal early records &#8211; particularly 1981 debut <em>Welcome to Hell</em> and its 1982 follow-up <em>Black Metal</em> &#8211; became hugely influential on the emerging thrash and extreme metal movements, with the band cited as an influence by acts including Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth, as well as black metal pioneers including Mayhem and Bathory.</p>



<p>The title of <em>Black Metal</em> would ultimately lend its name to an entire genre.</p>



<p>Cronos remained active with Venom right up until his death. The band released their latest album, <em>Into Oblivion</em>, on 1st May this year and performed their most recent show in Cremona, Italy on 19th July.</p>



<p>Across more than four decades, his unmistakable voice, bass playing and uncompromising artistic vision helped reshape the possibilities of heavy music and inspire generations of artists who followed.</p>



<p>Our condolences go out to Cronos’ family, friends, bandmates and fans at this difficult time.</p>



<p>Conrad “Cronos” Lant was 63.</p>

<p><a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/karnivool/">Karnivool </a>are taking their <em><strong>In Verses</strong></em> tour regional, announcing a huge run of Australian shows across November and December 2026.</p>



<p>Fresh from wrapping the biggest capital-city headline shows of their career, the Aussie prog heavyweights will hit 11 regional stops across NSW, the ACT, Queensland, Victoria and Tasmania before calling time on their Australian touring schedule for the year.</p>

<p>The run kicks off at Newcastle’s King Street Bandroom on Wednesday, 25th November, followed by shows on the Central Coast, Canberra, Wollongong, Coffs Harbour and Brunswick Heads.</p>



<p>From there, Karnivool will head north for dates on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast before finishing up with shows in Frankston, Ballarat and Hobart.</p>



<p>The tour comes in support of Karnivool’s long-awaited fourth studio album <em>In Verses</em>, which arrived in February following a whopping 13-year wait for new music from the band.</p>



<p>The record shot straight to #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart upon release, becoming the first Australian album to top the chart in 2026, and has since scored an ARIA nomination.</p>



<p>Karnivool have spent much of the year taking <em>In Verses</em> on the road across Europe and Australia, with the forthcoming regional run marking their final local shows of 2026.</p>

<p>Leading the charge are Irish post-punk favourites Fontaines D.C., who’ll graduate to Laneway’s main stage following their previous appearance at the festival.</p>



<p>They’ll be joined by Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams, who’ll bring her solo project to Australia for the first time.</p>



<p>Elsewhere, Slayyyter is making a speedy return down under for her Laneway debut, joining a particularly stacked contingent of pop names including Kim Petras, MUNA, Rachel Chinouriri and ADÉLA.</p>



<p>Electronic fans are similarly being fed, with Aussie producer Ninajirachi joined by HorsegiirL, Danny L Harle, Jane Remover, Daine, Rommulas and Tiffany Day.</p>



<p>Rico Nasty, DIIV, Automatic and Balu Brigada are also headed our way, alongside a sizeable crop of rising acts including Bleech 9:3, Florence Road and Gurriers.</p>



<p>There’s plenty of homegrown representation too, with Ecca Vandal, Public Figures, Swapmeet and Trials among the local names joining the festivities.</p>



<p>Unlike previous editions, Laneway won’t be visiting Adelaide or Perth in 2027. However, punters in both cities will still get some festival action courtesy of forthcoming sideshows from Fontaines D.C., Jane Remover and Tiffany Day, with further details yet to be announced.</p>



<p>Laneway Festival’s 2027 presale kicks off on Wednesday, 7th October, followed by general ticket sales on Thursday, 8th October.</p>

<p>Mr. Worldwide is about to become Mr. Blockchain, with <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/pitbull/">Pitbull </a>unveiling the details of his new album <em>PITCOIN</em> &#8211; a whopping 24-track affair featuring everyone from <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/bon-jovi/">Bon Jovi </a>and<a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/kiss/"> KISS</a> to <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/akon/">Akon</a>, <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/lil-jon/">Lil Jon</a> and<a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/enrique-iglesias/"> Enrique Iglesias</a>.</p>



<p>And no, despite everything about that sentence sounding like an elaborate internet shitpost, <em>PITCOIN</em> is indeed the name of Pitbull’s 14th studio album.</p>

<p>The follow-up to 2023’s <em>Trackhouse</em> is due to arrive on Friday, 9th October, with the Miami hitmaker now revealing its absolutely stacked tracklist (<a href="https://forms.sonymusicfans.com/campaign/pitbull-pitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pre-save on digital platforms</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/PITCOIN-Pitbull/dp/B0HDT225NX?&amp;linkCode=ll2&amp;tag=conseofsound-20&amp;linkId=3f13705690ae01992581368a534f1377&amp;language=en_US&amp;gaOptInStatus=true&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pre-order on CD here).</a></p>



<p>Among its more eyebrow-raising inclusions is <em>Now Or Never</em>, which credits Bon Jovi as a featured artist, while opening track <em>Reach For The Stars</em> features KISS.</p>



<p>Elsewhere, Pitbull has assembled a veritable Avengers: Endgame of the Mr. Worldwide Cinematic Universe.</p>



<p>Longtime collaborator Lil Jon pops up multiple times across the record, including on <em>Damn I Love Miami</em>, <em>Satalanaaa</em> and a remix of <em>No Te Hagas</em>, while Enrique Iglesias features on <em>Me Paraste El Corazón</em> and <em>Tamo Bien</em>.</p>



<p>Akon, Wiz Khalifa, Jason Derulo, Ne-Yo, Afrojack, Jowell &amp; Randy, Gente de Zona, Anthony Ramos and more also appear across the 24-song project.</p>



<p>Naturally, naming an album <em>PITCOIN</em> has already had consequences beyond the world of music.</p>



<p>As reported by <em><a href="https://consequence.net/2026/10/pitbull-pitcoin-album-tracklist/">Consequence</a></em>, multiple outlets noted that several cryptocurrency tokens with no affiliation whatsoever to Pitbull experienced surges in trading volume following the album’s announcement in August.</p>



<p>Somewhere, presumably, Mr. Worldwide is whispering dale while staring at a candlestick chart.</p>



<p>The album arrives following Pitbull’s recent US tour alongside Lil Jon, with the rapper next headed across Europe for an arena run in November and December before returning to Stagecoach Festival in 2027.</p>

<p><a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/the-temper-trap/">The Temper Trap</a> have returned to the <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/triple-j/">triple j </a>studios for their fourth crack at <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/like-a-version/"><em><strong>Like A Version</strong></em>, </a>taking on <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/harry-styles/">Harry Styles’</a> soaring debut solo single, <em>Sign Of The Times</em><strong>.</strong></p>



<p>The Melbourne indie rock favourites stripped back Styles’ 2017 power ballad for the occasion, opening with frontman Dougy Mandagi armed with an acoustic guitar and his trademark falsetto before the rest of the band joined in to build things towards a full-band crescendo.</p>

</div></figure>



<p>As for why The Temper Trap decided to tackle the former One Direction star?</p>



<p>“Obviously, we’re the wrong demographic to be listening to One Direction,” Mandagi joked.</p>



<p>“But the way [Harry’s] pivoted, his career, is amazing. I think we just all agreed, it’s a cool song to cover.”</p>



<p>Drummer Toby Dundas recalled being similarly taken aback when Styles first emerged from the boyband universe with <em>Sign Of The Times</em>, hearing shades of classic rock songwriting in the track.</p>



<p>“When I first heard [Styles] release that song, I could definitely hear that he’d been listening to a lot of classic songwriting,” Dundas explained.</p>



<p>“There’s elements of David Bowie there, bands like Queen… and he really just brought his own personality, I guess, and just showed off what an amazing singer he is.”</p>



<p>The Temper Trap made some subtle tweaks to the song’s chords and arrangement while largely preserving the emotional heft of Styles’ original.</p>



<p>“Hopefully, we’ve done a great song justice,” Dundas added.</p>



<p>Alongside their Harry Styles cover, The Temper Trap also performed <em>Giving Up Air</em>, lifted from their recently released fourth studio album <em>Sungazer</em>.</p>



<p>The record marked the band’s first full-length release in a decade and has already been taken around Australia on tour, while The Temper Trap have also recently been supporting Muse across North America.</p>

<p>Swedish prog metal heavyweights <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/soen/">Soen</a> are finally making their long-awaited Australian live debut this October &#8211; and according to drummer Martin Lopez, it’s a milestone the band have been trying to make happen for years.</p>



<p>Since forming in 2010, Soen have grown into one of modern progressive metal’s most revered acts, building a global following around their combination of crushing heaviness, intricate musicianship, cinematic atmosphere and deeply introspective songwriting.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="h-soen-axis">SOEN &#8211; &#8216;Axis&#8217;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" style="--aspect-ratio:1.7777777777778;" title="SOEN - Axis (Official Video)" width="720" height="405" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/K0-kkSUKpW0?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>But despite touring extensively across the globe, Australia has remained conspicuously absent from their itinerary.</p>



<p>That will finally change next month when Soen touch down for headline shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, joined by homegrown prog favourites <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/the-omnific/">The Omnific.</a></p>



<p>Speaking to <em>Music Feeds</em> ahead of the tour, Lopez revealed getting Soen down under has been a long-running mission.</p>



<p>“It’s something that we’ve been pretty much trying every year for a long time now, without being successful at it,” he tells us.</p>



<p>“But it’s happening now and I’m really excited.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-soen-are-finally-coming-to-australia">Soen Are Finally Coming To Australia</h2>



<p>While the upcoming shows will mark Soen’s first Australian tour as a band, Lopez himself is no stranger to our shores.</p>



<p>The drummer previously toured Australia during his tenure with <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/opeth/">Opeth</a> &#8211; and despite the thousands of shows he’s played throughout his career, those visits apparently left a lasting impression.</p>



<p>“I have played so many shows in my life, they tend to just blur into one confusion,” Lopez laughs.</p>



<p>“But I still remember Australia very, very well. I remember the shows. I remember Sydney. I remember Melbourne, Brisbane. It was something special.”</p>



<p>This time around, Lopez will be returning with Soen and sharing the stage with Melbourne’s own The Omnific, who’ll be celebrating their 10th anniversary with a special set resurrecting songs that haven’t been performed live in years &#8211; and may never be played again.</p>



<p>Lopez says he’s particularly looking forward to watching the Aussie prog trio night after night.</p>



<p>“It’s always special when you get to see a band many times in a row,” he says. “I’m excited about seeing them, actually, every night.”</p>



<p>As for what punters can expect from Soen themselves?</p>



<p>“I think musically it’s going to be a special night,” Lopez says.</p>



<p>“For us being there for the first time… I think we’re going to be hopefully not <em>overly</em> excited &#8211; very excited, at least &#8211; about playing these shows.”</p>



<p>“But as we always say with Soen, it’s just about going there and connecting and having a lot of people who love music under the same roof.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-expect-a-career-spanning-soen-setlist">Expect A Career-Spanning Soen Setlist</h2>



<p>With Aussie fans having waited more than a decade to finally see Soen on home soil, the band are also conscious that simply loading the set with their newest material probably isn’t going to cut it.</p>



<p>Lopez confirms their Australian setlist will take those long-suffering fans into consideration, with music spanning across Soen’s catalogue.</p>



<p>“For the people who [have been listening] for many years and haven’t seen us live, we’ve got to think about them too,” he says.</p>



<p>“Setlist is a big thing for all the albums, but it’s kind of tough.”</p>



<p>It’s an enviable problem to have after more than a decade of records, beginning with 2012 debut <em>Cognitive</em> and evolving through an increasingly expansive body of work.</p>



<p>Soen’s latest material has also been connecting with a new generation of listeners, with Lopez noticing a younger contingent increasingly showing up at their gigs.</p>



<p>“We see there’s a wave of younger people coming to the shows,” he says.</p>



<p>But he stresses that broadening the band’s audience can never become a consideration while actually creating the music.</p>



<p>“You can’t really write music thinking of things like that. You can only write whatever you feel is good, you know? And just hope for the best.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-highlight-is-now">“The Highlight Is Now”</h2>



<p>After spending virtually his entire adult life playing music professionally, Lopez has an unusually simple answer when asked to nominate Soen’s greatest achievement.</p>



<p>The highlight, he says, is <strong>right now</strong>.</p>



<p>“I think the highlight is now, in terms of where we are,” Lopez reflects.</p>



<p>“We have families and [this] beautiful friendship within the band. We’re also successful, which gives us the opportunity to make a living out of this. So it’s just great.”</p>



<p>“I think gratitude is something that comes with age,” he continues. “We are lately really getting to enjoy and to realise how beautiful what we have built actually is.”</p>



<p>And rather than chasing some grand career milestone from here, Soen’s ambitions are centred on protecting exactly that: continuing to create music they believe in, connect with people and speak about things that matter to them.</p>



<p>“I think it is about the day by day,” Lopez says.</p>



<p>“I think it’s about keeping writing music that excites us, that inspires people, and keep talking about the matters we feel are important.”</p>



<p>“As long as we get to do that, we can’t really ask for much more.”</p>



<p>For Aussie fans, though, one particularly overdue box is finally about to be ticked.</p>



<p>Soen will make their Australian live debut alongside The Omnific this October, kicking off at Melbourne’s 170 Russell before heading to Sydney and Brisbane. Grab your tickets down below.</p>

<p><a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/calvin-harris/">Calvin Harris</a> is heading down under in 2027 for his first-ever (!!!) dedicated Australian headline tour.</p>



<p>The Grammy-winning Scottish DJ and producer will bring the party to four massive outdoor venues across the country next February, hitting Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.</p>

</div></figure>



<p>Harris will kick off the run at Perth’s Langley Park on Thursday, 18th February, before heading to Brisbane’s RNA Showgrounds on Friday, 19th February and The Domain in Sydney on Saturday, 20th February.</p>



<p>He’ll then wrap up the tour with a grand finale at Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on Friday, 26th February.</p>



<p>Fans can expect a career-spanning set stacked with Harris’ enormous catalogue of dance-pop hits, including <em>One Kiss</em> with Dua Lipa, <em>This Is What You Came For</em> featuring Rihanna, <em>Summer</em>, <em>Feel So Close</em>, <em>Sweet Nothing</em> featuring Florence Welch and <em>Blame</em> featuring John Newman.</p>



<p>The shows will also draw from his blockbuster albums <em>18 Months</em>, <em>Motion</em> and both volumes of <em>Funk Wav Bounces</em>, alongside more recent club cuts and material from his 2024 compilation <em>96 Months</em>.</p>



<p>While the upcoming dates mark Harris’ first full Australian headline tour, they’re far from his first visit to our shores.</p>



<p>He last performed down under as a mainstage headliner at Festival X in 2022, while previous visits have included appearances at Stereosonic in 2011, 2012 and 2014, as well as Big Day Out back in 2010.</p>



<p>Across a career spanning more than two decades, Harris has amassed more than 35 billion streams, multiple Grammy Awards and two BRIT Awards, while collaborating with some of the biggest names in pop music.</p>



<p>He also famously broke Michael Jackson’s longstanding record for the most UK Top 10 singles spawned by one studio album, courtesy of his 2012 juggernaut <em>18 Months</em>.</p>



<p>Telstra Plus members will get first crack at tickets from <strong>11am local time on Monday, 21st September</strong>, followed by the Calvin Harris presale from <strong>12pm local time on Wednesday, 23rd September</strong>.</p>

<p><a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/ed-sheeran/">Ed Sheeran</a> has just lost all four supporting acts booked for upcoming dates of his <em>Loop Tour</em> in one fell swoop, with <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/finneas/">Finneas</a>, Lukas Graham, Aaron Rowe and Beoga withdrawing in solidarity with <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/macklemore/">Macklemore</a>, after the rapper was dropped from the tour over his anti-genocide comments.</p>



<p>The mass exodus marks the latest development in an escalating controversy that began after Macklemore declared “Free Palestine” live onstage while supporting Sheeran at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium earlier this month.</p>

<p>While introducing his Palestine protest song <em>Hind’s Hall</em>, Macklemore also addressed Jewish members of the crowd, stressing that his criticism was directed towards the actions of the Israeli government and not the Jewish people.</p>



<p>“To all of my Jewish brothers and sisters, criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide, it is in no way criticism of you,” he said.</p>



<p>Macklemore subsequently announced that he had been yeeted from his remaining eight scheduled dates on Sheeran’s US stadium tour.</p>



<p>According to the rapper, New England Patriots and Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft rallied other stadium owners to oppose his involvement, resulting in an ultimatum that venues would refuse to host the concerts if Macklemore remained on the bill.</p>



<p>US tour promoter Messina Touring Group confirmed to <em>Rolling Stone</em> that venue owners had informed promoters they would not allow concerts featuring Macklemore to proceed, and that following discussions with stakeholders, the rapper would no longer perform on the remaining dates.</p>



<p>Kraft confirmed that Macklemore would not be permitted to perform at Gillette Stadium, saying the decision followed his recent comments and what Kraft described as a broader history of “antisemitic rhetoric and imagery”.</p>



<p>Macklemore has denied being antisemitic, arguing that criticism of the Israeli government and its actions should not be conflated with antisemitism.</p>



<p>The controversy comes amid mounting international condemnation of Israel’s conduct in Gaza. The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry concluded in 2025 that Israel had committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, a finding it reiterated this year while reporting on the targeting of Palestinian children. Israel has vehemently rejected accusations of genocide.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ed-sheeran-defends-himself-following-macklemore-s-removal">Ed Sheeran Defends Himself Following Macklemore’s Removal</h2>



<p>Sheeran broke his silence on Tuesday, stressing that Macklemore’s removal was not his decision.</p>



<p>“Macklemore coming off tour was the promoter’s decision, it was not mine,” Sheeran wrote in a statement shared online.</p>



<p>The British pop superstar said he had spent the week speaking with venues in an attempt to find a resolution, but ultimately the venues and promoter had made the final call.</p>



<p>Sheeran also defended his decision to continue the tour, saying he would not abandon fans who had made plans to attend, nor the touring crew, musicians and support acts who rely on the shows for employment.</p>



<p>Addressing his decision not to publicly take a position on Gaza, Sheeran said that while he holds personal views about what he controversially called the “devastating conflict” (rather than the &#8220;genocide&#8221;), he does not believe audiences attend his concerts expecting “a political forum”.</p>



<p>“I am not complicit,” he added defensively.</p>



<p>“I respect Macklemore’s strength of purpose to stand up and shout for what he believes. However, there is room for multiple approaches to the same end: peace.”</p>



<p>Sheeran said he instead chooses to use his platform as “a place of safety and sanctuary” and to maintain diplomacy.</p>



<p>But within hours, the artists booked to share that platform began dropping like flies.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-finneas-lukas-graham-aaron-rowe-amp-beoga-all-walk-out">Finneas, Lukas Graham, Aaron Rowe &amp; Beoga All Walk Out</h2>



<p>Billie Eilish&#8217;s brother, collaborator and star in his own rite Finneas, who had been scheduled to join Sheeran for upcoming South American dates, announced he was withdrawing from the tour in solidarity with Macklemore.</p>



<p>“Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed,” the Grammy-winning artist and producer wrote.</p>



<p>“I have decided to withdraw from my upcoming tour dates with Ed Sheeran. I stand with Palestine and its people.”</p>



<p>Irish artist Aaron Rowe, who had been lined up to replace Macklemore on remaining US dates, also withdrew despite describing Sheeran as a friend who had changed his life.</p>



<p>“But as Irish people we know all too well about genocide, forced famine and violent occupation,” Rowe wrote, adding that he could not “stand by and allow billionaires to use their position of power to silence the rightful voices of those who speak up”.</p>



<p>Irish folk band Beoga followed suit. The group had been appearing during Sheeran’s own set, performing several songs they co-wrote with him.</p>



<p>“We are Irish people who understand colonialism,” the band said. “As founding members of the Irish Artists for Palestine movement, we are committed activists for justice and will continue to be.”</p>



<p>Danish act Lukas Graham, who had also been tapped to replace Macklemore, described their withdrawal as a “difficult decision”.</p>



<p>“Money doesn’t give you the right to own the conversation,” they said. “Nobody’s bank balance should decide who gets to speak or which suffering we’re allowed to acknowledge.”</p>

<p>Thunberg shared a statement from the Humaniti Project arguing that artists withdrawing from the tour were choosing “to stand with their conscience”, while Ms Rachel criticised the idea that remaining silent represented a neutral position.</p>



<p>“If more than 20,000 white children were killed in another part of the world, everyone would be shouting about it at their concerts,” Ms Rachel wrote.</p>



<p>“Silence during a genocide is not neutral.”</p>

<p>The controversy has also prompted questions about apparent inconsistencies in how stadiums respond to artists’ political speech.</p>



<p>As reported by<a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ed-sheeran-loses-4-opening-acts-in-support-of-macklemore-artists-must-not-be-silenced_n_6aa9a36ae4b0288deb0d57fa"> <em>HuffPost</em></a>, critics have pointed to Ye, formerly known as <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/kanye-west/">Kanye West</a>, having performed at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium earlier this year despite his extensively documented history of antisemitic remarks, including<a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/news/kanye-west-banned-from-australia-indefinitely-over-nazi-praising-track-heil-hitler/"> the release of a Nazi-praising song literally called &#8216;Heil Hitler&#8217; that literally got him banned from Australia.</a> The same venue was reportedly among those objecting to Macklemore appearing on Sheeran’s tour.</p>



<p>For now, Sheeran’s <em>Loop Tour</em> is scheduled to continue in Philadelphia this weekend &#8211; albeit with a dramatically different supporting cast to the one it had just days ago.</p>

<p>Naarm/Melbourne electro-pop collective <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/empress/">Empress</a> have made their return with a sultry new single dubbed <em>Whole Night</em><strong>.</strong></p>



<p>Out now, the track marks the six-piece’s first taste of a larger project set to unfold across late 2026 and early 2027, following on from their 2023 debut album <em>Daughter</em>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="h-empress-whole-night">Empress &#8211; &#8216;Whole Night&#8217;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe title="Spotify Embed: Whole Night" style="--aspect-ratio:16/9;border-radius: 12px" width="100%" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" loading="lazy" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/album/2fzAhFbz08bEwEMG5AUGOK?utm_source=oembed"></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>Blending electronica with the group’s R&amp;B, alt-pop and club influences, <em>Whole Night</em> layers arpeggiating synths and swelling bass beneath the three-part harmonies of vocalists Grace Robinson, Stella Dunai and Annalisa Fernandez.</p>



<p>The track was mixed and mastered by two-time Grammy-nominated and nine-time ARIA Award-winning engineer Nick Herrera, whose credits include <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/hiatus-kaiyote/">Hiatus Kaiyote</a>, <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/miss-kaninna/">Miss Kaninna</a> and Allysha Joy.</p>



<p>Lyrically, <em>Whole Night</em> explores the more consuming side of infatuation, using its repetition and gradually building arrangement to mirror the experience of getting trapped inside your own thoughts about someone.</p>



<p>“<em>Whole Night</em> captures the dizzying feeling of becoming consumed by thoughts of someone,” Empress explained in a statement.</p>



<p>“The song mirrors how obsessive thoughts can circle, repeat, and rise in your mind. There’s a darker undercurrent running beneath the track, balanced by the returning chorus echoing the feeling of being caught in a thought you can’t quite escape.”</p>



<p>The new release follows Empress’ recent return to the live stage, including performances at the sold-out Wonder Mountain Festival and Cairns Festival.</p>



<p>Formed at the Victorian College of the Arts, the collective is rounded out by Noah Hutchinson on bass, Liam Rignanese on drums and Christy Wozitsky-Jones on keys.</p>



<p>They’ve previously performed at festivals including Dark Mofo, Beyond The Valley, Strawberry Fields and Meadow Festival, as well as sharing stages with Sampa The Great and Hiatus Kaiyote.</p>



<p><em>Whole Night</em> is available to stream now (suss it above), with more new music from Empress set to arrive across the coming months.</p>

<p>KEVIN!!!!!! <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/feeds/Macaulay-Culkin/">Macaulay Culkin</a> is heading to Australia this November for a trio of very nostalgic nights celebrating the Chrissy classic, <em>Home Alone</em><strong>.</strong></p>



<p>And unlike the McCallister family’s infamous 1990 holiday departure, this time everyone appears to have remembered to include him in the travel plans.</p>

<p>Dubbed <em>Home Alone: A Nostalgic Night With Macaulay Culkin</em>, the special events will take over Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, pairing a big-screen screening of the beloved John Hughes flick with a live moderated interview and Q&amp;A featuring the grown-up Kevin McCallister himself.</p>



<p>Culkin will be on hand to spill behind-the-scenes stories from the movie, revisit his memories from filming and discuss why a film about an eight-year-old being abandoned by his entire family at Christmas and subsequently waging psychological warfare against two burglars has somehow remained wholesome festive viewing for more than three decades.</p>



<p>The tour will kick off at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on Tuesday, 24th November before hitting Melbourne’s Regent Theatre on Friday, 27th November and Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Sunday, 29th November.</p>



<p>Limited VIP tickets will also be available, including a post-show photo opportunity with Culkin &#8211; so you can finally obtain photographic evidence that you met Kevin McCallister without having to break into his house first.</p>



<p>Released in 1990, <em>Home Alone</em> catapulted Culkin to international stardom for his performance as the resourceful youngster accidentally left behind when his family jets overseas for the silly season.</p>



<p>The role earned Culkin a Golden Globe nomination and spawned the enormously successful sequel <em>Home Alone 2: Lost In New York</em>, in which the McCallisters somehow managed to lose the same child during Christmas travel AGAIN.</p>



<p>Look, international airports were clearly a different beast in the early ’90s.</p>



<p>Culkin went on to appear in movies including <em>My Girl</em>, <em>Uncle Buck</em>, <em>Saved!</em>, <em>Party Monster</em> and <em>Changeland</em>, as well as TV series including <em>American Horror Story</em>, <em>The Righteous Gemstones</em> and <em>Fallout</em>.</p>



<p>And yes, music fans may also remember Culkin as a member of The Pizza Underground, his Velvet Underground parody band dedicated almost entirely to songs about pizza. Because apparently defeating the Wet Bandits was only the beginning of this man’s cultural contribution.</p>



<p>Culkin was most recently honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame celebrating his 40 years in the entertainment industry.</p>



<p>Presale tickets for his Australian <em>Home Alone</em> events go live from <strong>10am local time on Monday, 21st September</strong>, before general tickets go on sale from <strong>11am local time on Wednesday, 23rd September</strong>.</p>



<p>So slap on some aftershave, fire up the Talkboy and prepare your most elaborate series of household booby traps.</p>



<p>Keep the change, ya filthy animal.</p>
