Vans Warped Tour Australia 2013 Dates Announced


Using the most professional and cheapest method of communication, the promoter dropped the dates via his Twitter account this morning.

The venue details and artist lineup have yet to be revealed, but that’s expected to come in the next few months.

Splendour In The Grass sells out in under an hour

AJ recently revealed his excitement at working with Warped Tour founder, saying “Kevin Lyman IS warped and always the man to thank. I’m just privileged to assist him…

Warped is about mayhem & DIY punk rock spirit. [Soundwave] is about delivering a slick & orchestrated day of performances.”

It will be the first Australian leg for the Vans Warped Tour in more than a decade and we can’t wait to see what it brings to our shores.


First launched in 1995, three years later in January 1998 the festival first made its way to Australia with a lineup that featured Pennywise, Frenzal Rhomb, Blink 182, The Living End, Bodyjar and more. Warped hasn’t been back here since 2002.

Maddah hasn’t dropped any hints about the lineup yet, but did confirm that the Vans Warped Tour won’t have any sideshows.

Renovations to Metro Apartments Bank Place Nearing Completion



Metro Hospitality Group will shortly complete major renovations to its boutique Melbourne property, Metro Apartments Bank Place, in a bid to maintain its reputation for providing stylish yet affordable inner city accommodation.

Commencing in September 2012, with completion towards the end of May 2013, the renovations include the installation of new kitchens and bathrooms in all apartments as well as new lighting, carpeting and furnishings.

According to George Bedwani, Chief Operating Officer of Metro Hospitality Group, this particular property continues to defy the economic climate, maintaining strong occupancy despite a downturn in leisure and corporate travel to Melbourne over the last few years.

“The Apartments are very popular and enjoy significant repeat business, largely due to their central location and competitive rates,” he said.

Metro Apartments on Bank Place attracts leisure and corporate interstate visitors, as well as the regional Victorian leisure market. The Apartments also appeal to Melbournians looking for unique weekend accommodation for the opportunity to experience the vibrant soul of their own city.

The Apartments are located in a unique 100-year old Victorian building complete with rough hewn bluestone façade, in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD.  The chic exterior and surrounds are complimented by the interior’s understated style, quality furnishings and fittings.

The 46 studio and one-bedroom apartments all feature Queen sized beds, contemporary furniture and sleek grey and glass ensuites.  The suites include a fully equipped kitchen and laundry so guests can self-cater.

A hallmark of all Metro Hospitality Group properties, a popular central city location ensures guests are within easy walking distance of Melbourne’s attractions and business districts. Nearby trams and train stations allow guests to easily navigate Melbourne’s outer suburbs.

André Rieu to Tour Australia - The Waltz Tour Goes On



Violin master André Rieu, one of the best-selling live acts in the world, is delighted to announce he is returning to Australia with a brand new show in October 2013. Called "And The Waltz Goes On Tour", the tour is named after his successful album on which he collaborated with Sir Anthony Hopkins. Rieu will perform in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

Billboard ranked his 2011 tour as the 9th highest grossing tour of the year, just behind Lady Gaga. He has broken all classical concert records, packing stadiums and arenas with more than 700,000 adoring fans each year. Rieu has sold over 32 million albums globally and received 330 platinum awards for his albums. With his natural charisma, Rieu conducts his 60-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra and plays his 1732 Stradivarius violin to create a celebratory atmosphere.

"Every night when I play around the whole world, I see with my own eyes what the waltz does with the audience. People get out of their seats and waltz in the aisles spontaneously. They sing, they smile and for a moment they forget all their worries and are happy. That is why this tour is an ode to the waltz!" says André Rieu.

As always, the maestro and his orchestra will perform beautiful waltzes on this tour, but the concerts are much more than that. From famous Viennese operettas to film scores, spirituals to musicals, and from folk songs to marches; Rieu's concerts are a perfect mix of thrilling, romantic, festive and emotional melodies combined with surprises, balloons, beautiful soloists and of course Rieu's great sense of humor.

So far, 2012 has been a hugely successful year for the violinist. Rieu gave a record breaking series of 30 sold-out concerts in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He won a Classic BRIT award for his album "And The Waltz Goes On" and is nominated for a prestigious Mexican Luna award. With his first tour in Brazil Rieu reached the #1 position in Pollstar’s Box Office Chart of highest grossing tours in July. Leaving behind artist like Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, Radiohead, Coldplay, Celine Dion, The Black Keys and Pearl Jam.
