Lil Nas X will light up Hordern Pavilion on Wednesday 4 January, stopping in Sydney for his Long Live Montero Tour, marking the 23-year-old’s first ever show in the city. Lil Nas X rose to fame with his 2019 mega hit ‘Old Town Road’, which simultaneously upended the music industry and shattered genre norms. The 16x Platinum remix with Billy Ray Cyrus became the longest running #1 single in Billboard Hot 100 history, is the most certified song in RIAA history, and was recognised with numerous awards including two Grammys. Multiplatinum hits ‘Panini’, ‘Rodeo’ and ‘HOLIDAY’ followed. Lil Nas X went on to release the culture-shifting 5x Platinum hit ‘MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)’ in March 2021. The queer anthem debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and propelled to #1 on both the Top 40 and Rhythm Airplay charts. The single features on his GRAMMY-nominated, certified Platinum debut album Montero which was released last September and landed spots on “Best Of 2021” lists across the globe. The album also boasts back-to-back Top 40 #1s with ‘Industry Baby’ featuring Jack Harlow and ‘That’s What I Want’. Don’t miss the rapper, singer, songwriter and internet king’s first Sydney show when he performs in January, fresh off his headline slots at Falls and Lost Paradise. It’s going to be one hell of a night!

PinkPantheress released her debut mixtape to hell with it in October 2021, including fan-favourites ‘Pain’, ‘Passion’, ‘Break it off’ and hit single ‘Just for me’, since then she has gathered a strong global fanbase including over 1.1 million TikTok followers and 9 million plus likes. ‘Pain’ has collected over 160 million streams, and her entire catalogue has reached half a billion (500 million) streams! The songstress has been praised by leading publications including Dazed, i-D, Hunger, Pigeons & Planes and more, with NME stating “despite the daunting level of hype surrounding it, the Bath-born 20 (now 21) year-old’s debut 10-track mixtape doesn’t merely justify it, but exceeds it” in their five star review. In addition, September 2021 saw Spotify reveal that PinkPantheress will be supported by their RADAR programme for emerging artists. She is only the second RADAR artist to be supported by Spotify in both the UK and US. See what all the fuss is about when PinkPantheress takes the stage at Roundhouse on Wednesday 4 January – the performance will accompany her festival sets at Falls, Lost Paradise and Adelaide’s Heaps Good. Don’t miss it!

Step into the glistening world of Magdalena Bay as they take over Oxford Art Factory on Thursday 5 January. Magdalena Bay released their debut full-length LP Mercurial World to critical acclaim in October 2021. Written, produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by the duo, Mercurial World proposes an abstract theory of time and explores the staggering “what ifs” that make up the human experience. With roots in prog-rock and inspired by bleeding edge producers like Charli XCX and Grimes, the duo creates striking yet self-aware soundscapes and visuals that are becoming their true Magdalena-Bay-world signature. With a live show as captivating and dimensional as the music itself, 2022 boasts a sold out North America headline tour, and support dates with the likes of Flume, Porter Robinson and Charli XCX before they hit Australia for Falls 2022/2023 and their anticipated Sydney sideshow.
