David Byrne will perform songs from his acclaimed new album American Utopia along with much of his back catalogue from his solo career and time with Talking Heads. A 12-piece band will support David Byrne on stage for an Annie-B Parson choreographed concert that he has called “the most ambitious show I’ve done since the shows that were filmed for Stop Making Sense.”

David Byrne, one of the great innovators in music going back to his Talking Heads day has announced four Australian dates to take place this November, in Sydney, Melbourne, the Gold Coast and Adelaide. He was last in Australia for shows with St. Vincent five years ago, but he hasn’t come out for his own tour since his 2009, when he was on his David Byrne and Brian Eno tour.

When announcing that he would be gigging in 2018, David Byrne said that the tour he had pulled together was his most ambitious since making the Stop Making Sense film. David Byrne plays the following shows:

Tuesday 20 November – ICC Sydney Theatre, Sydney
Wednesday 21 November – Convention Centre, Gold Coast
Saturday 24 November – Margaret Court Arena, Melbourne
Sunday 25 November – AEC Arena, Adelaide

Tickets are on sale from Monday 18 June.

George Young, the brother of Angus and Malcolm Young of AC/DC, was a member of 1960s band the Easybeats and co-wrote their classic hit Friday on My Mind.

With his fellow Easybeats member Harry Vanda he became one of Australian pop’s best-known songwriters, creating Yesterday’s Hero and Love Is in the Air for John Paul Young, Evie for Stevie Wright and Hey, St Peter, which he and Vanda recorded as Flash and the Pan, among many others.

It concluded with a tribute from Harry Vanda: “Rest in Peace my dear friend.” Aussie legend Jimmy Barnes on Twitter described George Young as “a great songwriter, producer and a great human being”.

George Young was born in Scotland in 1946 and emigrated to Australia with his family as a teenager. The Easybeats formed after Young met the Dutch-born Vanda at the Villawood migrant hostel in Sydney, where both families stayed after arriving in Australia. After the band broke up in 1969 Vanda and Young embarked on a songwriting career that produced dozens of hits. The pair were inducted into the inaugural Aria hall of fame in 1988, and the Easybeats followed in 2005.

The Aria Hall of Fame honour comes 45 years into Daryl Braithwaite’s career, which began in the 1970s with the band Sherbet, who had an international hit with “Howzat” in 1976.

The 68-year-old has since found success as a solo artist, including two multi-platinum albums, Edge and Rise.

It was Daryl Braithwaite’s version of the Rickie Lee Jones song “The Horses”, which appeared on Rise in 1991, that became his signature song. In 2015, a short-lived Change.org petition circulated to make the song Australia’s official national anthem and, at the Beyond the Valley festival in January 2016, 1980s revivalists Client Liaison brought Daryl Braithwaite on to the stage to perform the classic, in celebration of its 25th anniversary.

Daryl Braithwaite later said; “That was a thrill. I honestly didn’t know, will people know the song? Will people be accepting of me? I was coming into their domain, it wasn’t my area. That was most definitely a moment.”

Since then, Daryl Braithwaite has been added to this year’s Falls festival line-up, alongside artists such as Flume and Liam Gallagher.

Daryl Braithwaite performed the song with Jones herself during her Australian tour in April. He also recently sung it at Perth’s Beer Fest, where he discovered young fans who weren’t even born when his albums were released: “It was about 3,000 people and they were mainly in their 20s … It was quite staggering and it’s strange because I’ve been doing it for 40-odd years and it’s still as enjoyable now, if not more, than when I started out,” he said. “I can’t figure it out. All I know is that I love it. I love performing, I love people, doesn’t matter what age.”

Sherbet were inducted into the Aria Hall of Fame in 1990 and Daryl Braithwaite will now be rewarded again when he is acknowledged as a solo artist at next month’s Aria awards: “I feel very honoured to be inducted into the Aria hall Of fame, in an industry that I started out in because I was so passionate about it. It’s been a great journey and life through music.”

James Blunt is currently supporting Ed Sheeran on tour in the US ( playing second fiddle as “Sheeran’s bitch” ) and the pair will both be in Australia in March, with the strong possibility of an onstage collaboration.

James Blunt, who came to fame in 2005 with his pervasive hit You’re Beautiful, recently released his fifth album The Afterlove which includes a song co-written with Ed Sheeran called Make Me Better.

James Blunt will be headlining his own tour across Australia and New Zealand, including some A Day On The Green shows in wineries and gardens. However he has no qualms being on his present tour as Ed Sheeran’s support, stating: “I think my ambition has always been to be Ed Sheeran’s bitch and it’s a job I really love,” he said. “I can’t tell you how awesome this gig is. I play for 40 minutes before him, that means I’m off stage two hours before him, that means I’ve two hours extra drinking time ahead of him and he’s playing catch-up.”

James Blunt, who is known as much for his sarcastic humour (which he displays regularly via his Twitter account – if you are not a follower, become one as his tweets are hilarious!! ) as he is for his love songs, has enjoyed testing out his recent album on Ed Sheeran’s fans.

Blunt commented: “I have no pressure, I’m playing to his audience and they don’t know what to expect and I’ve got nothing to lose except win them over and it’s been such fun. It’s also been a great place to try out new songs and practise new songs so that by the time I get down to the important place of Australia I know what I’m doing.”

James Blunt will perform in New Zealand from 6th March 2018 and in Australia from 10th March 2018.

Touring company Live Nation said the former member of the Bee Gees’s tour would not go ahead “due to a change in international commitments”. Live Nation also said it was “currently not possible” to reschedule the performances, so full refunds would be available to ticket holders for the shows.

However, the Barry Gibb cancellation comes on the back of the recent withdrawal of Neil Young from next year’s Bluesfest, along with the rest of his Australian tour.

Barry Gibb, who grew up in Australia with his brothers Maurice and Robin, is the last surviving member of the Bee Gees. He recently released In The Now, his first solo album in 32 years, written with his sons Stephen and Ashley.

Tickets bought for the Barry Gibb solo shows will be refunded in full to all credit and debit card holders and Ticketek will contact all those who bought tickets to advise how to process their refund.

Tickets for the Adele show at Perth’s Domain Stadium were on sale for $5,645.18 through Viagogo, in excess of 18 times the maximum ticket price of $308.77, with no guarantee of the seat number. Reselling sites were offering tickets for $2,590.29 for the Adelaide and Melbourne shows, $1,946.29 for Brisbane and $1,349 for Sydney.

The Adele tour of Australia, in February and March next year, was announced last week. Adele has attempted to circumvent scalpers in the past through the use of paperless tickets and has spoken out against the practice in public.

Adele fans shared their frustration as the websites of official agents struggled to cope with the demand. Many fans spent an hour or more trying and failing to get through, although some were successful. Adele’s shows in Brisbane, Perth and Melbourne are at Ticketmaster-affiliated venues, and went on sale two hours earlier at 10am AEDT Monday. Tickets for the Sydney and Adelaide shows were being sold through Ticketek from 12 noon AEDT.

On Monday Ticketmaster announced a second show in Brisbane and a second in Melbourne. There is extraordinary demand for the tickets to Adele’s Australian shows, the artist’s first tour of the country, and scalpers are taking advantage, using automated bots to buy tickets in large quantities at high speeds before flipping them at inflated prices on resale sites.

Some of these tickets available through Viagogo may have been legitimately purchased during presales offered to stadium members last week. But with the high quantity of tickets listed so early in the day, it is likely that many were listed for resale before they had even been bought.

Both Ticketek and Ticketmaster have warned the public that tickets purchased through unauthorised sellers including Viagogo and Ticketmaster Resale  (Ticketmaster’s own resale site ) will not guarantee a ticketholder entry.
