Paul McCartney announces Australian tour, regional cities included in line-up - ABC News

Legendary musician Paul McCartney has announced he will bring his Got Back tour to Australia this year, with two regional cities on the line-up.

The English singer-songwriter who gained worldwide fame with The Beatles will hold shows in Newcastle and the Gold Coast for the first time.

The tour will kick off in Adelaide on October 18, the city where The Beatles made history in 1964 on their first visit to Australia.

An estimated 350,000 people lined the streets between the airport and Town Hall to catch a glimpse of the band.

Sir Paul will then travel to Melbourne for a show on October 21, Newcastle October 24, Sydney October 27, Brisbane November 1, and the Gold Coast on November 4.

This will be his first time in Australia since his award-winning tour in 2017

Regional cities on the line-up

The tour will include first visits to Newcastle and Gold Coast.

Frontier Touring CEO Dion Brandy said Sir Paul wanted "at least a few places different" to his 2017 tour.

"We saw when Elton [John] came just how Newcastle embraced the show and embraced Elton and his team," he said.

"We were super excited to suggest the [regional locations] to Paul and we're really excited that he's agreed to do it."

Mr Brandy said the company had been wanting to get Sir Paul back after his visit six years ago. 

"People were blown away and there was so much regret from people who didn't go, back in 2017," he said.

"To be honest, we started conversations then about coming back the following summer … and then Paul got quite busy.

"And you know, it's Paul McCartney … so you take the time frame you can get."

Mr Brady said fans can expect a jam-packed show. 

"In the US last year he was playing for just under three hours, plays dozens of songs, and the set lists are all over the internet. But it's hit after hit after hit," he said.

"I think that the interesting thing with Paul is he's got such a deep catalogue of Beatles songs, Wings songs, and solo hits, that you know it's impossible to fit them all in.

"But he has a fair go for somebody his age."

The show features a duet with the late John Lennon using modern technology.

Mr Brandy said tickets start around $80, up to around $400.

VIP packages will also be available.

Wanderer Festival 2023 adds Sampa the Great, Ben Lee in final line-up announcement - ABC News

Pambula Beach's Wanderer Festival has announced its final headliners for the 2023 line-up. 

Sampa the Great and Ben Lee have been added to the bill, which already hosts the likes of British art rockers Django Django and Australian stalwarts Spiderbait.

The three-day beachside music and arts festival, launched last year by Falls Festival and The Lost Lands founder Simon Daly, will take place from September 29.

Also announced today were Tijuana Cartel, Mourning [A] BLKstar, Cash Savage and the Last Drinks, Lonnie Hollie, Teen Jesus and The Jean Teasers and BATTS.

Lee will take to stage under his pseudonym DJ DadBod.

Also added to the festival's arts line-up were Australian comedians Claire Hooper, Tom Ballard and Bronwyn Kuss, as well as Djirringanj Elder Uncle Warren Foster's Gulaga Dancers.

Music acts already announced include Gomez's Ben Ottwell and Ian Ball, and US artists Kevin Morby and Son Little.

An act of 'radical optimism'

The festival's artistic director, Ian Pidd, said organisers were excited by the diversity of this year's program.

"We put on a festival we would love to go to with our families and be able to take folks who aren't traditional music festival goers," he said.

Mr Pidd said aside from the big names, he and Mr Daly hoped festival goers would find something new to take home with them.

"I see it as a slightly radical optimism," he said.

"When people see others doing amazing things it makes people think we're going to be alright as a society.

"Life is very busy and things can get tricky, so you should leave a festival experience feeling optimistic, and thinking humans are amazing and incredible."

He said after the success of last year's festival, he was hoping to see people of all generations enjoying the arts side-by-side.

"Starting a new festival can be very scary, but last year the artists told us just how much they loved their time there," Mr Pidd said.

"So we're building on that, and this year we have a bigger dance program and more participatory stuff on the arts side to complement all the music."

The scenes on the carpet are chaotic as stars make their way through interviews, gearing up for tonight's formalities.

ABC's own Leigh Sales said she's anxiously awaiting the results of the Gold Logie, but you wouldn't have picked it.

She elegantly graced the carpet, wearing a showstopping, stunning black and white number.

Twitter unbans Kanye West hours after suspending him again - The News International

Twitter unbans Kanye West hours after suspending him again
close

Twitter is having a field day over Kanye West's Twitter account on-and-off status

By Web Desk

July 30, 2023

Twitter was in frenzy after the discovery of Kanye Wests account was restored
Twitter was in frenzy after the discovery of Kanye West's account was restored

Elon Musk's first key decision after rebranding Twitter to X: reinstate Kanye West's account.

However, the restoration of the account has come with its conditions, such as the rap star will not enjoy the monetization feature, and advertisements won't accommodate his posts, as per The Wall Street Journal.

It is pertinent to mention here that a few hours earlier, the 46-year-old's account briefly came online after months of suspension.

As the Twitterati expressed their shock at Ye's sudden comeback, his account was again suspended.

Previously, Musk was apparently sympathetic towards Ye at the end till the latter rhetoric was too much to contain.

“I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended,” he tweeted earlier.

Last November, the Donda hitmaker was booted out of the platform after sharing an offensive tweet about antisemitism.

But under the. 52, absolutist free speech rules toward content moderation, the hip-hop star was accepted again into the folds of Twitter.

West was at the time on his antisemitism spree as he again tweeted derogatory content, which included a swastika image mixed with a star of David.

Soon he was kicked out from the platform after the tweet, and by extension, other social media platforms also suspended his account due to his antisemitism.

Icehouse and Simple Minds To Reunite For Red Hot Summer 2024 Tour - Noise11

Red Hot Summer will recreate the historic 1981 touring line-up with Icehouse and Simple Minds together again on the same bill.

In 1981 Icehouse toured the UK for the first time supporting Simple Minds. The favour was reversed when on the Australian leg of the same tour, Simple Minds toured Australia for the first time opening for Icehouse.

Jim Kerr said, “we had the best time during that six-week period, and we’re ecstatic to be able to come back and to do it all over again with our mates, Icehouse! We love everything about this band and Australia. We are always welcomed with open arms and have such a special bond with our Aussie fans. We can’t wait to get back there and play in some of the best outdoor locations in your beautiful country.”

Iva Davies said, “back in 1981, on ICEHOUSE’s first journey overseas, we were introduced to Simple Minds and their great stage presence when we went on the same tour supporting them around the UK. It was an exciting time and we all got on so well that we asked Simple Minds to support us when we returned to Australia. They did and Australians became one of the most welcoming audiences in the world for them. I’m really looking forward to our co-headlining tour next year – it will be an opportunity to relive some memories and thrilling to see how far we’ve all come since those first shows.”

For 2024, The Red Hot Summer tour series two will feature the two bands together again with Noiseworks, Daryl Braithwaite and Bachelor Girl also on the line-up.

Fun police take shine away from a once glittering Logies - Sydney Morning Herald

Usually, for at least a few weeks leading up to the Logies, there would be a frisson of excitement about television’s night of nights, from dramas over red carpet dresses to seating arrangements creating political minefields.

But, after covering the event for the best part of two decades, there is a distinct lack of “buzz” around tonight’s Logies.

Perhaps it’s the fact it’s happening in a new venue – The Star – and in a new city – Sydney? Or that there’s a new broadcaster at the helm in the Seven Network? Maybe it’s the lack of big international stars or the largely same-same list of contenders up for the gongs?

Even the inexplicable media ban might be partially to blame.

The malaise is a real shame because, apart from providing some of the best TV cringe moments of the year, after 63 years the Logies is still about celebrating our unique, irreverent and self-deprecating culture in an increasingly globalised, homogenised and banal television landscape.

Not that anyone will be talking about that openly inside the room tonight, which quite rightly will be all about the winner of the Gold Logie, awarded to the most popular television personality as voted by the viewers.

In the old days, the award was determined by punters filling out forms in TV Week magazine, though tales of entire publicity departments buying vast quantities of the magazine to vote for their in-house stars are now folklore.

Today the process has morphed into a quasi celebrity popularity contest with networks flogging their favourites for online votes at every chance.

For the first time in its history voting for the Gold Logie will remain open through most of the telecast, closing at 10.30pm. Predictably the winner will be bathed in flashes and a few days of fawning media coverage, and a guaranteed cover of TV Week.

Things are not what they used to be. Even TV Week’s parent company, Are Media, has outsourced the Logies. The awards night is now run by events company Rizer, which has taken a more serious, concerted approach to Logies efficacy.

Of course, popularity is only one measure of talent in television. For the rest we have the peer-determined Most Outstanding Logie awards, which this year has undergone quite a shakeup.

The real power for this award is held within the hands of a “Secret 100” who sit on a series of newly appointed judging panels that were once restricted to a limited pool of veteran TV Week writers and their pals.

While I have not seen who is on the Secret 100, I am assured it is now comprised of a much broader selection of respected, experienced and trusted industry players: from critics and producers to directors and casting agents. Each of them has signed a watertight non-disclosure agreement and their identities are a closely guarded secret.

Not even the bosses of Australia’s television networks know who is on the panels – even those who have been trying to get a sneak peek. Let’s just say this year some of them have been trying really, really hard.

These efforts to inject more rigid protocols are to be commended, so long as they are not coming at the expense of the Logies’ more “looser” traditions, such as the off-camera shenanigans that once made the evening a gold mine of celebrity intrigue.

This year the media is banned from attending the awards and after parties, relegated to only covering the somewhat mechanical offerings of the red carpet parade of wannabe soapie stars and reality TV try-hards.

Instead, it will be left to social media feeds of various stars to give us their – ahem – “curated” version of events. Yawn.

In the end, the success of this year’s Logies will be determined by the people it is intended for: the public.

Tom Gleeson at the Logies, 2018, promoting Grant Denyer for the Gold Logie.

In 2022 The Logies telecast on Nine had a robust 885,000 viewers tune in for the ceremony, while 826,000 watched the red carpet arrivals. That was up on the last time the Logies were held in 2019, where 799,000 watched the arrivals and 866,000 watched the ceremony.

But that was significantly down on the numbers tuning in just a decade before.

Hamish Blake won his second gold Logie last year. He later joked it was “The first Gold Logie in five years not to be decided by Tom Gleeson”.

It was a joke stemming from when the unlikeliest of contenders Grant Denyer won the Gold Logie in 2018, largely thanks to a campaign by comic Tom Gleeson who dared the public to upset the Logies establishment and vote for Denyer.

The next year Gleeson himself won the Gold Logie. In his acceptance speech, he told his television colleagues: “There’s been a lot of concern that I’m turning this award into a joke. This award has done a lot of great things for a lot of different people. In the past it has represented trying to get more diversity on the screen or launching charities and that’s fantastic. But for me, it represents a joke, but I love jokes. I really enjoy them. I really think we should all lighten the f--- up.”

All jokes aside, Gleeson certainly provided the event with an injection of intrigue and humour. Indeed, they are both ingredients it could do with a lot more of right now.

Prince Harry’s hacking claim against The Sun thrown out amid fresh reports that his life is spiralling - PerthNow

Prince Harry’s evidence was ruled “implausible” as his phone-hacking claim against The Sun newspaper in the UK was thrown out on Thursday, as fresh reports emerge that his life is “spiralling out of control”.

After a High Court judge said there was “a lack of credibility” about the duke’s phone hacking claims, new reports have emerged overnight that all is not well in Harry’s life.

The Sun newspaper reports how Harry and Meghan have been dogged by claims on US gossip sites of marriage problems — claims which have been denied by those close to the couple.

“There is a bit of a feeling Harry is spiralling out of control and all is not well,” a source reportedly told The Sun.

“Members of his family are worried about how he is coping and his determination to keep having legal battles.”

Mr Justice Fancourt dismissed as improbable Harry’s story that Buckingham Palace had struck a secret deal behind his back.

He said the Duke of Sussex had signed two “statements of truth” that were “inconsistent” with his evidence.

His excoriating 40-page judgment is believed to be the first time the evidence of a senior royal has been tested in this way.

The duke, 38, is suing News Group Newspapers (NGN), publisher of The Sun and the now-defunct News of the World, alleging phone hacking and other unlawful activities were used to write stories about him.

The phone-hacking elements of the case were thrown out after the publisher successfully argued Harry had left it too late to bring his case.

By law, claimants must launch a case within six years, and the judge said there was “no doubt” the duke had known as long ago as 2012 that he had been hacked by the News of the World.

NGN hailed the ruling as “a significant victory” – but it still faces a trial scheduled for January on the other aspects of the case, which Harry’s lawyer David Sherborne claimed were “the majority” of the allegations.
