Is it Australia's turn for a Drake tour? Rumours say yes

When that hotline bling, that can only mean one thing – Drake may be coming to Australia?

We’ve got good and bad news for you. The good news? It might just be God’s plan for Drake to play in Australia this year. The bad news? Well, aside from the fact that your wallet might be about to cop a beating from buying the Weeknd tickets , Drake hasn’t quite confirmed his journey Down Under just yet. Here’s what we do know...

At the moment, Drake is on his ‘It’s All a Blur’ tour with 21 Savage. The official stops on the four-month-long tour only include American cities, and a few shows in the Certified Lover Boy's homeland, Canada. European and British fans are impatiently waiting for an international tour, but nothing has been announced yet.

In terms of Aussie news, rumours are swirling that Drake will be visiting us in November this year... Why? Concert events website All Events recently posted a listing for a Drake concert in Perth on November 28, and another one in Auckland on November 14. X (formerly Twitter) account @6LivesMusic thinks this points to the venues being booked.

🇦🇺🇳🇿 Rumours that Drake will be touring Australia in November/December (same time as Weeknd) with one show reportedly booked in Perth already: — 6LivesMusic (@6livesmusic_) August 29, 2023

The lowdown on All Events is that anyone can register to be an ‘event host’ and post upcoming concerts. Concerts Nation Australia were the ones who posted the Drake events, but the question is: are they legit? They have a few other concerts listed that are actually running later this year, so here's hoping that they’re on to something with Drake.

If Drake truly is embarking on a global tour, it would be the first one since Assassination Vacation in 2017, and the first visit to Australia since 2017 when he played the Boy Meets World show.

Ticketek has made up a Drake waitlist page – hop on it and cross your fingers for updates.

Drake Announces Australian Headline Tour Dates

By Tom Williams

The dormant Australian “Drake Tour” website has now sprung to life, announcing the rapper’s maiden Australian headline tour. Drake will perform all ages shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane when he’s in town for Future Music Festival 2015 in February/March. Supporting him on all dates will be fellow rapper and frequent collaborator 2 Chainz .

Drake is known for his impressive live productions, which include pyrotechnics, fire, lasers, and huge lighting and sound systems. The Canadian hip-hop artist recently toured the US on the Drake vs Lil Wayne co-headline tour, but will be headlining his own Australian tour next year, performing material from his three studio albums.

Drake released his latest album, Nothing Was The Same , in September 2013. Since then he has fueled a mini-feud with tennis player Nick Kyrgios , but has also shown his less serious side by disguising himself and asking for the public’s opinion of him and his music .

In July, Drake revealed to Billboard that he’s at work on his next album, titled Views From The 6 . One of the richest stars in hip hop , he is now worth an estimated USD$33 million.

Drake is set to headline Future Music Festival in March, as the festival travels through Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane. 2 Chainz is also set to play at the festival. Other acts on the lineup include Avicii, The Prodigy, Die Antwoord and Martin Garrix.

Drake’s 2015 Australian tour begins in Sydney on Wednesday, 25th February, and wraps up in Brisbane on Thursday, 5th March. Tour and ticket details are available below.

Drake, full name Aubrey Drake Graham, is a Canadian rapper and actor from Toronto, Ontario. Born in 1986, Drake first rose to fame as an actor but was signed to Young Money Entertainment in 2009.

At the age of 20, Drake self-released his first mix-tape, “Room For Improvement”, which featured artists such as Lupe Fiasco and Trey Songz on the tracks. The quality of the work on this first mix tape won Drake a steady following on the underground rap scene which he grew with the release of his second and third mix tapes, “Comeback Season” and “So Far Gone”. The release of “So Far Gone” saw fans download the mix tape over 2000 times in the first two hours of its release. Two tracks from the album, “Best I Ever Had” and “Successful” hit the number one and number two positions on the US Rap charts, respectively.

This success sparked a bidding war amongst various record labels to get Drake onto their rosters. Young Money Entertainment, owned by Drake’s mentor Lil Wayne, came out successful and signed the rapper in 2009. Drake’s studio albums, including “Thank Me Later”, “Take Care” and “Nothing Was the Same”, have reached the number one spot on the US Billboard chart and each has been certified Platinum.

Drake has had multiple multi-platinum selling singles, but his most successful singles include “Hold On We’re Going Home”, "Headlines", "Take Care", "Make Me Proud", and "The Motto" (where Drake was credited with popularising the acronym YOLO).

Already the winner of one Grammy Award for his 2013 album, “Take Care”, Drake has also won a host of other awards from bodies such as the BET Awards, the MTV VMAs and the Juno Awards. Drake has won millions of fans across the world as a result of the six tours he has completed since 2010. With his work ethic and talent, there is no doubt that Drake’s hard-earned success will continue for quite some time.

Live reviews

Drake's energy on the stage is just incomparable to anybody I've seen. The way he connects with the crowd is unbelievable. I think that his energy on stage just get the crowd more hyped up so it's an all around good show whenever Drake performs. From "So Far Gone" to "Nothing Was The Same," his style and the way he gets his message across have stayed the same. That's the best thing about aging, you get better as time progresses and I think that his albums are a definite reminder of how lyrically and musically talented he is. Many artist make one or two good albums, maybe a song or two every now and then, but Drake has consistently been at the top releasing good music and is just on fire. It's easier to get to the top than to stay there, but he's proving to everyone that he has enough to get to the top and knock anyone down who try's to take him down.

I love how he makes his music to fit any type of mood that you're feeling. His music isn't just slow R&B, he has some up-tempo music that will get you feeling pumped up and ready to go. I also love how he isn't like a Lil Wayne type of rapper who just uses auto tune and throws random gun verses in his songs. Every song is well thought out, every line is placed just right, the words flow with the beat and it's just magic. Even if you don't like Drake, when "Hold on, We're Going Home" comes on you're going to start singing. His songs are just too catchy, and are just classic, so 30 years from now people will still be blasting "Take Care" in their car. From what I've watched, he gives the people their moneys worth and leaves them waiting to see Drakes next move or when he's dropping his next album. He's just an all around great artist and performer, strongly recommend seeing him.

Report as inappropriate

I have never been a huge fan of Drake, but after becoming hooked on the 2013 song ‘Hold on we’re going home’, I decided to check out his back catalogue of work, and was really surprised with what I found, and immediately regretted discounting him previously.

The combination of chilled out tracks in contrast with his rapping and songs like ‘Headlines’ provides such great listening variation, covering a variety of musical genres. Drake’s recent performance at this years Grammys was simply breath-taking, drawing in the audience to the narrative of ‘Hold on we’re going home’ without being showy or over the top, yet managing to merge smoothly into the track ‘Started from the Bottom’, providing the audience with a more upbeat track.

Drake’s interaction with his audience, especially on this occasion is something which he deserves credit for, maintaining his vocal performance whilst attempting to greet as many fans as possible. For me, this injection of his personality really provides the fans with a motivation to watch him live, as the dedication to both performance and fans is something that he appears to have mastered.

He really is one of those artists that you have to see live to experience the full potential of his music.

I bought my tickets to Lil Wayne VS. Drake about 4 months ago and finally got to attend the show on Saturday. Wow. My mind was blown. First of all G-Easy Opened for them and really got the crowd warmed up for the headliners. The whole show was like a video game with Drake and Lil Wayne going back and forth with old and new hits which I was so impressed with how they really mixed it up. Drake flew above the crowd suspended holding on to a stripper pole looking stand which Lil Wayne later dogged on him for. They battled back and forth about being the most featured artist and at the end I had chills because they were both saying how grateful they were for keeping each other's music alive. It was inspiring and poetic. I was impressed it was definitely the best show I have been to this year!

Drake puts on a great show, honestly a great performer who is very talented.

However, if you’re really going to tour with migos, and they don’t show up to do their opening set, there really should be some kind of refund. I came to the show expecting to see migos and then drake and then when migos didn’t show up I went into Drakes set disappointed about missing migos. Sure two of them came out and did 2 songs but really not enough. Instead of touring with these unreliable guys, tour by yourself, I would have no problem paying exactly what I paid for just Drake.

My son is Drake biggest fan and I would love to buy him tickets to Drake concert! I would love to see him shake Drake hand. He watch all of Drake documentary, interviews and reads all of his commentaries. This playlist is all Drake and the artist he signed. He even make me sit down and watch Drake life stories. He has all of his family, friends and girlfriend listening to Drake! He ware Drake clothing line “OVO” and has his family and friends wearing OVO too! Drake to your biggest fan ever Keldrick Mumphrey he a great young man and a wonderful son! Love mom

Tickets were very expensive. This was one of the most I have ever paid for a concert ticket, need to make it affordable for his fans. His stage presence was brilliant and loved how much he relates himself to the UK and a personal bond with Birmingham. He did lots of his lesser successful songs which was disappointing, songs like crew love which lots of his fans LOVE came on for 10 seconds then he switched into another one. Just felt it lacked real good performances of his better known and his best songs.

I really liked the show! Drake was an amazing entertainer and made me feel seen and made the show worthwhile. He really suprised me in a positive way:) I loved the sequals were he talked between the songs and the drirecting of scenery was incredible. Some of the most impressive stuff I have ever seen on a stage. He was a good singer, and I liked his tribute to Rihanna. Thanks Drake, for an awesome experience. You are way coolet than I thought

One of the best concerts I've been to in a while... Then opening act: party next door wasn't very well known But when the main acts got on stage the party was really bumpin. Great set list. I can say that I was standing and dancing the whole night and rapping along. They had an interactive portion to help decide who won the rap battle between Drake and Lil Wayne through a downloaded app on your phone. Overall awesome experience!

Amazing preformance! He's very enganging and interactive with the crowed, not to mention insanely talented! There was a really cool moving light show (globes of lights that were lowered and raised to create patterns above the audiance as well as change colors). Would have loved to hear more from some of his first albums but all in all a fantastic show. Definatly was worth spending the extra money for floor seats :)

The Drake vs Lil wayne show was definantly a must see! The whole competitive feel of them trying to one up eachother really drove the energy up! Drake is amazing live but honestly Lil Wayne stole the show for me. Also the production value is through the roof! It's less of a concert and more of an experience! They played all of their hits as well as their old stuff! Definantly get a seat to this one!

NEW YORK (AP) — Since the beginning of time or, at least, pop music, only a few have earned the designation of “song of the summer.”

These are the earworms that lodge deep into the brain, pushing past genre preferences and reminding listeners: A hit is a hit. With so much variety, though, it’s getting harder to crown a single song of the summer. So The Associated Press is offering 2024 predictions across categories — with past winners for reference.

Find your song of the summer and then listen to our Spotify playlist, here .

Song of the summer for the caffeinated: “Espresso,” Sabrina Carpenter

We’re a few decades removed from the Y2K era of off-kilter pop songs with nonsensical lyrics atop sunny productions. But no one told Sabrina Carpenter , whose hit “Espresso” is a shot of wake-up juice, equal parts clever and totally unserious. “Espresso” makes a one-woman argument for disco-informed radio pop’s endurance.

Past champion: “Wide Awake,” Katy Perry (2012)

Country crossover song of the summer: “I Had Some Help,” Post Malone feat. Morgan Wallen

Before it even released, it seemed likely a Post Malone team-up with Morgan Wallen would result in a No. 1 record. “I Had Some Help” introduced Post Malone’s foray into country and, with some help indeed from the biggest name in contemporary country music, was an instant success. There’s no denying that honkytonk hook, Malone’s autotuned vibrato or the singalong chorus.

Past champion: “You’re Still the One,” Shania Twain (1998)

Diss song of the summer: “Not Like Us,” Kendrick Lamar

Drake and Kendrick Lamar reignited a once-dormant feud earlier this year, launching diss track after diss track. None hit quite like Lamar’s ferocious “Not Like Us,” which became Lamar’s fourth No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100. The messaging — all West Coast fire in an “us vs. them” anthem — really works.

Past champion: “Obsessed,” Mariah Carey (2009)

Viral hit of the summer: “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Shaboozey

In an ideal world, every country station would play Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” once an hour, on the hour. Until then, its social media virality will have to do the trick. With its inspired interpolation of J-Kwon’s “Tipsy,” the song has all the makings of a modern classic, with an easy-to-rally-around narrative following a hardworking protagonist easing his troubles on a bar stool.

Past champion: “Trap Queen,” Fetty Wap (2015)

US singer Billie Eilish is sitting on a ledge of a staircase railing known as the “Billie Eilish wall”, in Berlin Friday, June 7, 2024. (Britta Pedersen/dpa via AP)

Song of the summer for the yearners: “Lunch,” Billie Eilish

“Lunch,” from Billie Eilish’s new album, “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” is a PG-13 ode to same-sex infatuation. The once-in-a-generation performer has come a long way from the macabre humor, off-kilter beats and Invisalign slurps that made her a star. Instead, “Lunch” is a delicious, sapphic anthem.

Past champion: “Nineteen,” Tegan and Sara (2007)

Club song of the summer: “Get It Sexyy,” Sexyy Red

It’s in the title. Sexyy Red, with her distinctive flow and quotable bars not exactly safe for work, has taken over. “Get It Sexyy” is a theme song for her dominance and a confident mantra for everyone planning to hit the dance floor.

Past champion: “Lose Control,” Missy Elliott feat. Ciara & Fat Man Scoop (2005)

Song for singles ready to mingle this summer: “Bellakeo,” Peso Pluma feat. Anitta

Take one of the biggest names in regional Mexican music, Peso Pluma , bring in one of the biggest Brazilian pop-funk stars, Anitta , and you’ve got yourself a sweaty reggaetón banger. “Bellakeo” is a song for both the club and corner store, oozing with flirtation.

Past champion: “Where the Party At,” Jagged Edge and Nelly (2001)

Song of the summer from your favorite artist’s favorite artist: “Good Luck, Babe!” , Chappell Roan

Chappell Roan has long had a knack for candor in her theatrical, cheeky songwriting, emphasized by sometimes-yodeling vocals. But she’s only recently started receiving mainstream attention for her full-throated, big-hearted queer love anthems. “Good Luck, Babe!” is a kiss-off-and-a-half — perfect for screaming along to while driving down an empty street in Roan’s native Midwest or getting ready with the girls for the drag club.

Past champion: “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours,” Stevie Wonder (1970)

Song of the summer for people seriously considering buying a harmonica: “Pink Skies,” Zach Bryan

Every song of the summer list requires a real tearjerker. Within the first few seconds of Zach Bryan’s “Pink Skies,” the acoustic guitar, harmonica, and raspy narrative will have you breaking out the tissues. “The kids are in town for a funeral,” he sings. “So pack the car and dry your eyes.” He’s an expert at writing a novel in few words, a song so good it charts without traditional support.

Past champion: “Run-Around,” Blues Traveler (1995)

Song of the summer that shares a title with a film: “Million Dollar Baby,” Tommy Richman

“Million Dollar Baby” feels like it came out of nowhere — as so many TikTok smashes do — but its continued endurance since April is notable. Plus, it shares a title with a very famous film, and that’s always fun.

Past champion: “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” Deep Blue Something (1995)

Song of the summer that inexplicably came out in January: “Beautiful Things,” Benson Boone

If Zach Bryan’s “Pink Skies” is a little too raw for you, Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” offers a glossy alternative. There isn’t a hint of edge in his soft pop-rock, but there is a lot of love.

Past champion: “Boy’s a Liar PT. 2,” PinkPantheress , Ice Spice (2023)

Swifties’ song of the summer: “Fortnight,” Taylor Swift and Post Malone

Every summer, Taylor Swift’s fans anoint their own pick. This time around, it has to be “Fortnight” from “The Tortured Poets Department.” Enter “I love you / It’s ruining my life,” into the pantheon of Swiftisms that would make for an amazing AOL away message (R.I.P.).

Past champion: “Karma,” Taylor Swift (2023)

Song of the summer revolutionizing genre: “Texas Hold ’Em,” Beyoncé

Beyoncé released “Act ll: Cowboy Carter” with the declaration : “This ain’t a Country album. This is a ‘Beyoncé’ album.” But she certainly wove the genre in, reclaiming country music as a Black woman. The first taste came in the form of “Texas Hold ’Em” — ideal listening, whether you’re headed to the beach or rodeo.

Past champion: “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” Tina Turner (1984)

The post-ironic, TikTok-heavy, too online, micro-hit song of the summer: “The Spark,” Kabin Crew & Lisdoonvarna Crew

There’s always one song that’s part joke, full hit. Enter “The Spark,” an Irish collaboration between some remarkably talented kids from Cork and Lisdoonvarna, written for Cruinniú na nÓg, a day meant to celebrate children’s creativity. These kids have produced an empowering electro-club banger for all ages.

Past champion: “The Margarita Song,” That Chick Angel, Casa Di & Steve Terrell (2023)

Song of the summer for Swedish pop lovers: “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love),” Ariana Grande

Of all the songs on Ariana Grande’s “eternal sunshine,” “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)” is the Europop exemplar. It explodes into a string crescendo, electronic sounds effortlessly blending into organic ones, lyrically highlighting a relationship on the outs. It’s a gorgeous and devastating listen in the tradition of another queen of summertime sadness bangers, Robyn .

Past champion: “Call Your Girlfriend,” Robyn (2010)

Song of the summer for it girls: “360,” Charli XCX

Charli XCX’s latest album, “Brat,” oscillates between hedonism and anxiety. “360” is a hot girl club classic squarely in the first category — all sexy showboating and futuristic production.

Past champion: “Stars Are Blind,” Paris Hilton (2006)

It's All A Blur Tour

ICYMI: Justin Timberlake addresses drink-driving charge, prestigious First Nations art exhibition opens

Composite image of Justin Timberlake's glass-eyed mugshot and him performing on-stage with guitar.

In need of some conversation starters that aren't "It's cold"? Here are the entertainment and arts stories you might have missed this weekend, from Justin Timberlake addressing his DWI to the song behind the internet's new favourite meme.

David Sedaris is coming back to Australia

Justin timberlake praises ride-or-die fans in first comments post-arrest.

It is not a great time to be Justin Timberlake (that would be 2002 when the noodle-haired singer had the world at his feet).

The last year has been spent re-evaluating all the women JT stepped on while making his way to pop stardom, thanks in part to Britney Spears's (bless her soul) 2023 memoir The Woman in Me and a re-examination of the 2004 Super Bowl controversy, where Janet Jackson was condemned for a "wardrobe malfunction" triggered by Timberlake (he escaped criticism).

Which is to say, many people on the internet indulged in a little bit of schadenfreude when, on June 18, Timberlake was arrested for driving under the influence by a cop that was reportedly too young to recognise the SexyBack singer.

It was also reported that when the cop pulled him over, Timberlake muttered: "This is going to ruin the tour." This hasn't been officially confirmed, but that hasn't stopped the hottest new meme format.

But, in reality, and perhaps unsurprisingly, JT's arrest didn't ruin his tour ( People magazine labelled him the "Teflon man" many years ago for a reason)and he used his Chicago stop over the weekend to address the situation in front of his most adoring fans.

"It's been a tough week, but you're here and I'm here, and nothing can change this moment right now," he said .

"I know sometimes I'm hard to love — but you keep on loving me, and I love you right back."

It has become increasingly hard to love Justin Timberlake as the years have gone on, particularly after he started releasing some of the most unpopular music of his career.

But you know what's not hard to love? These "ruin the tour" memes… Roll the tape!

Established in 1984, the annual National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards (NATSIAA) is the longest-running and most prestigious award for emerging and established First Nations artists. This year's exhibition opened over the weekend at Museum and Gallery of the Northern Territory in Darwin.

It displays the work of 72 finalists from across the country, including Arrernte and Kalkadoon artist and Archibald finalist Thea Anamara Perkins, Pitjantjatjara artist and Sulman finalist Iluwanti Ken, and Pitjantjatjara artist Betty Muffler, whose work recently featured at the National Gallery of Victoria's Triennial .

Past winners of the top prize, now known as the Telstra Art Award and worth $100,000, include the late Warlpiri artist Kumantje Jagamara , Kuku Yalanji artist Tony Albert , and Kamilaroi artist Richard Bell .

The winners of the seven awards will be announced on August 9. The exhibition runs until January 27.

Let's work it out on the remix

On Friday, Charli xcx released a remix of 'Girl, so confusing', a track from her unmissable new album Brat , featuring a verse from the unofficial queen of Aotearoa, Lorde (and saviour).

When Charli first dropped the track, many had wondered — and guessed correctly — that Lorde was the pop star with the "same hair" that she was addressing in this candid treatise about insecurity within a friendship between women. ("Can't tell if you wanna see me/Falling over and failing/And you can't tell what you're feeling/I think I know how you feel").

In the original track, Charli sings "One day we might make some music/The internet would go crazy" and, when Lorde finally returned the British pop star's calls to collab… it did.

Lorde's reply verse to Charli's song is one for the ages, imbued with the Kiwi star's signature lyrical skill and a new level of honesty. Lorde basically admits that she's been AWOL at times because of her mental health and struggles with disordered eating.

Whether or not there was ever any real beef between the singers, this is certainly a mature way to handle broigus (*cough* looking at you Kendrick/Drake! ). And maybe this is naive, but we're left feeling optimistic about the possibility of genuine sisterhood in an era when the culture seems determined to pit pop girlies against each other .

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, 2024's most anticipated video game, is getting review bombed

Rise again, Tarnished!

If that means nothing to you, know that it means a great deal to the more than 25 million people who bought Elden Ring — the 2022 grand, grim open-world adventure widely regarded as one of the best video games ever made.

Gamers poured hundreds of hours into exploring its vast fantasy world (guilty as charged) and delving into its dense lore, made in collaboration with Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin.

Now, the critically acclaimed blockbuster is effectively getting a sequel. Well, an expansion, to be precise.

Released Friday, the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC (that's short for downloadable content) gives players access to a massive new world to explore.

While critics have been handing out rave reviews to Shadow of the Erdtree, fans are frustrated; over on popular digital gaming platform Steam, the DLC is facing a wave of negativity.

Its status has been reduced from "Overwhelming Positive" down to "Mixed" from almost 30,000 user reviews. Some have cited performance issues with the PC version, but the majority are simply saying it's just too damn hard and unfair.

Difficulty, however, is the defining quality of FromSoftware, the Japanese developers of Elden Ring and dark, extremely challenging hits Demon's Souls (2009), Bloodborne (2015), and Dark Souls (2011) and its sequels.

FromSoftware's games have become such a cultural phenomenon because, unlike many video games, death is a design philosophy.

"[T]he sense of achievement that players gain from overcoming these hurdles is such a fundamental part of the experience", FromSoft president and creative director Hidetaka Miyazaki explained in an interview with The Guardian . "Turning down difficulty would strip the game of that joy."

So, don't expect any tweaks to Shadow of the Erdtree. Although, FromSoftware has made a mild concession: issuing a guide to help players "improve their skill".

In other words? "Git gud," as per the mantra of the cult FromSoftware fandom. And hey, if they can rise to Herculean, frankly mind-boggling efforts , including beating Elden Ring using only their feet , then surely Shadow of the Erdtree is worth the struggle.

Battle of the sequels: Inside Out 2 takes over Dune 2 as highest-grossing film of 2024

Pixar's post-COVID grand plan to prioritise the "commonality of experience" over original storytelling is going swimmingly, as Inside Out 2 broke global box office records over the weekend.

The sequel to 2015's Inside Out — which introduced the world to the personified emotions inside an 11-year-old's head — has pulled in a monumental $US724.4 million ($1.09 billion) around the world since it was released earlier this month. It overtakes the previous top seller of 2024, Dune 2 , which made $US711.8 million (AUD$1.07 billion) in its run earlier in the year.

In Inside Out 2, Riley's emotions face the biggest challenge of them all: Puberty.

It's expected that Inside Out 2 will surpass the $US1 billion mark within the next week , making it the first film since Barbie to do so.

Many reviews for the highly anticipated sequel have praised the movie for its design and the introduction of new, more mature emotions, while also pointing out that the second film doesn't hit quite as hard as the first.

Not that reviews matter that much to Disney when they're looking at a billion-dollar payday; Pixar chief creative officer Pete Docter has already let slip that an Inside Out spin-off TV show is slated to land on Disney+ in 2025 .

Can't wait to see how cute Depression's character design is!

Bestselling American author, humorist and This American Life mainstay David Sedaris is taking a break from collecting rubbish in rural England to return to Australia for a national tour.

David Sedaris, a 67-year-old man with glasses, smiles slightly as he looks into the camera. He is wearing a vest.

The 2025 tour, his seventh to Australia, follows the release of his latest essay collection Happy-Go-Lucky (2022), in which he wrote about the pandemic and the death of his father.

It's just one in a string of humorous, autobiographical books, which often poke fun at his family and loved ones, including Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim and Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls.

At his Australian shows, audiences can expect never-before-read stories (and some you have), a Q&A, and a book signing that will run as long as it needs to (and that he might use as material later).

Don't worry, it's no burden on Sedaris, as he wrote in an essay in Happy-Go-Lucky.

Recounting when his sister, actor Amy Sedaris, asked him about his "idea of perfect happiness", he said: "on tour, in a great hotel, and having enough time to take a long bath before I have to head to the theatre". Sounds pretty lush.

An Evening with David Sedaris kicks off in Canberra on February 1, before heading to Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney and Brisbane.

Tour de France 2024 start: Date, time and how to watch Grand Depart on TV

The Tour de France promises plenty of intriguing with a peloton packed with storylines battles across three weeks of racing.

For the first time, the Grand Tour will begin in Italy, with Florence hosting the Grand Depart and San Marino becoming the 14th country to be visited by a stage.

The finish to the race will look rather different, too, as a time trial in Nice replaces the traditional Champs-Elysees sprint due to the ongoing preparations for Paris 2024.

The individual time trial will be the first to conclude the Tour since 1989, when Greg LeMond memorably pipped Laurent Fignon in the closest edition in history.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the 2024 Tour de France.

When is the Tour de France?

The 2024 Tour de France will be held between June 29 and July 21 and consist of 21 stages, with two rest days included in the itinerary. The race will not finish in (or near) Paris for the first time since its inception as Nice is instead utilised — the French capital is out of action due to the Olympics later this summer.

Where is the Grand Depart?

The Grand Depart will be held in Italy for the first time, with Florence in Tuscany selected to begin the route. Stage 1 will finish in the coastal resort of Rimini, while the next three stages will also begin in Italy before the race crosses the border.

How long is the Tour?

In all, the peloton will cover 3,492km (2,170 miles) across 21 days of racing. Stage 3 (Piacenza to Turin) is the longest stage at 229km (142 miles), while the 133 km (83 miles) route on Stage 20 (Nice to Col de La Couillole) is the shortest road stage. There are two individual time trials: Stage 7 is 25km (16 miles), and the final stage from Monaco to Nice will be contested over 34km (21 miles).

How can I watch it?

Viewers in the United Kingdom will again have the choice of two broadcasters. ITV will provide free coverage on ITV4 and ITVX, while the Tour de France will also be available to subscribers on Eurosport and discovery+.

Eurosport’s coverage of the opening stage begins at 10.30am BST on Saturday 29 June, while ITV viewers can tune in from 10.45am.

If you’re travelling abroad and want to watch major sporting events, you might need a VPN to unblock your streaming app. Our VPN round-up is here to help and includes deals on VPNs in the market. Viewers using a VPN need to make sure that they comply with any local regulations where they are, and also with the terms of their service provider.

Who are the favourites for victory?

There are set to be four main contenders for general classification victory, though each of the quartet arrives with significant questions about their readiness for the year’s second Grand Tour. Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) will seek a three-peat but has not raced since sustaining a broken collarborne and other injuries in a serious crash at the Tour of the Basque Country in April.

Primoz Roglic (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) were also injured in the incident, though the pair returned to racing at the recent Criterium du Dauphine as Roglic took overall victory.

Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) meanwhile enters attempting a Giro-Tour double having secured the maglia rosa in Italy earlier this year — no male rider has won both races in a single season this century.

When longtime singer-songwriter Bruce Hornsby opens up his Musikfest Café set on July 2, the second half of the Lehigh Valley’s 2024 concert calendar will be fully underway.

Following Hornsby is a smorgasbord of classic rock, country, punk, metal (and nu metal), jazz and more that fills the Lehigh Valley’s music venues’ next six months. We’ve corralled a couple dozen of the most enticing shows, but the PPL Center , Wind Creek Event Center , Musikfest Cafe , Penn’s Peak , the State Theatre and the Sherman Theater will be welcoming plenty of eager audience members for much more than the 24 shows listed here.
