Five Star Prison Cell are the masters of a fresh and non-conformist formula to the way music is written. Crazy off time and out there math metal that chugs and churns through an firestorm of intense riffing, brutal drumming and a vocal tirade unique to front (mad) man Adam Glynn. “Five Star” push the boundaries of metal to the extreme and beyond, forging a style the band can now call their own and have become the leaders of their genre on Aussie soil. The follow up to their successful debut “The Complete First Season,” Five Star Prison Cell have excelled themselves with album number two SLAVES OF VIRGO... 11 tracks of mind melting metal that ranks with the very best in the world. A massive production courtesy of top producer dw Norton gives Slaves Of Virgo the punch and power it deserves.

The Frontier Touring Company is delighted to announce the news that Crowded House fans across Australia have been waiting for…. Crowded House are coming home!

After months of tantalizing us with news of US and UK dates, an appearance on Live Earth, and a sold-out show at Melbourne’s Corner Hotel, Neil Finn, Nick Seymour, Mark Hart and new recruit Matt Sherrod have announced a major arena headline tour of our shores for October/ November.

With a career that spanned more than a decade the first time around, there is no shortage of back catalogue for the band to choose from. Songs ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’, ‘Something So Strong’, ‘Better Be Home Soon’ and ‘Weather With You’ are just a few of the hits that have become so much more than just 80s and 90s chart-toppers. Arguably Crowded House produced songs that are now fundamental to the cultural landscape of this nation, a fact that is illustrated by the band’s incredibly broad appeal.

Award-winning local band Augie March will support Crowded House on this tour. Augie March have long been favourites of the Australian public. The band had major success with their recent release Moo, You Bloody Choir which yielded the beautiful ‘One Crowded Hour’. With an extensive and impressive back catalogue and a finely tuned live show, Augie March are not to be missed.

So turn up early for Augie March and stay late into the night for the weepy, arms-around-your-mate singalong to Don't Dream Its Over. And buy your tickets early, 'cause this will sell out faster then you can blink.

TOUR DATES:
5th of November - Sydney Entertainment Centre
8th of November - Rod Laver Arena
11th of November - Brisbane Entertainment Centre
13th of November - Adelaide Entertainment Centre
16th of November - Supreme Court Gardens, Perth

It’s been twenty long years, but the wait is finally over! The Frontier Touring Company and Roundhouse Entertainment are thrilled to confirm that the incomparable Lionel Richie has confirmed he will tour Australia and New Zealand this November/December. Lionel today said he is excited about his return to Australia and New Zealand.

“I’m really looking forward to this tour. I can’t believe it was 20 years since I last toured there! I hope my fans are ready to dance, because if I have my way they’re not going to sit down once the show starts.” Lionel said.

With close to 100 million albums sold, a phenomenal 22 Top 10 hits, five Grammy Awards, an Oscar and a Golden Globe, there are few artists in the world who can rival the success of Lionel Richie.

During his two hour plus concert Lionel draws from his enormous back catalogue of chart-toppers such as ‘All Night Long’, ‘Truly’, ‘Hello’, ‘Dancing On The Ceiling’, ‘Endless Love’, ‘Say You, Say Me’, and the Commodores hits such as ‘Still’, ‘Three Times A Lady’, ‘Sail On’, ‘Easy’, ‘Brick House’ plus newer hits such as his US RnB #1 hit ‘I Call It Love’ from current album ‘Coming Home’ (Universal Music).

A Lionel Richie concert leaves few people in their seats as Lionel’s infectious enjoyment in his performance has fans up and dancing from the opening numbers...chances are if you buy a ticket to one of his upcoming concerts you’ll be dancin’ on the ceiling…all night long!

Combine all three and what you have is nothing short of historic.

And Australian metal fans would be most pleased to know that for the first time ever, they do not need to wait a year or two after the rest of the world. The Crusade begins right here in Australia before taking on Europe and beyond.

For the second time this year, one of our most beloved Texans, Ben Kweller is bringing his brand of indie pop tunes to Australia! Except this time, he's taking his geeky-sheik repertoire all around town and is saving his rural fans from trekking too far see him play. Since playing as part of "The Bens" (with Ben Folds and Ben Lee), Mr Kweller has had a very large and loving fan base in Australia. He will dazzle audiences with his pretty, piano ballads and his quirky, rockin', guitar numbers. Hopefully he'll also bring his Granny with him so that she can dance like she does in the Penny On The Train Track film clip (we doubt it though). Ohhh we love BK and can't wait to see him play again!
