Fischer-Z will embark on their first-ever Australian tour, as part of the band's worldwide 50th anniversary celebrations. Although they have never toured Australia, Fischer-Z have enjoyed notable chart success here. Their global breakthrough "So Long" (1980) peaked at #15 on the Kent Music Report, followed by "The Perfect Day" (1987), which reached #12 on the ARIA Charts. These successes cemented a loyal Australian fan base, with Australia now ranking as the band's fourth-largest Spotify streaming market. Formed in 1976 by frontman John Watts after his unconventional path from clinical psychology into music, Fischer-Z quickly built a reputation for politically charged songwriting and high-energy performances. Their debut album Word Salad (1979) helped define the emerging post-punk movement, while "So Long" became one of the first music videos broadcast on MTV, propelling the band onto the global stage. Their third album Red Skies Over Paradise (1981) remains a career highlight. Across five decades, Fischer-Z have released 23+ albums, sold over two million records, and performed 3,000+ concerts worldwide, sharing stages with artists including James Brown, The Police, Dire Straits and Bob Marley. 2026 marks a true milestone — celebrating 50 years since Fischer-Z's formation — and, for the first time ever, bringing that legacy live to Australian audiences.

By Charles Dickens Adapted and created by Shake & Stir Theatre Co This December, the award-winning theatrical phenomenon Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol returns for its ninth triumphant season – wrapped up beautifully and ready once again to warm hearts, lift spirits and conjure the magic of Christmas. Brimming with humour, heart and festive wonder, this breathtaking, grand-scale production has become a cherished seasonal tradition for audiences of all ages. On Christmas Eve, Ebenezer Scrooge is impatiently waiting for the merriment and mayhem to end. But when four ghostly visitors sweep him through Christmases past, present and future, Scrooge is forced to confront the choices that have shaped his life and the lonely fate that awaits him. Can he find redemption and change his ways before time runs out? Featuring live music, yuletide carols, lavish design and, of course, snow, A Christmas Carol is quite simply "the most uplifting theatrical experience you'll have this year" (The Courier-Mail).

This Christmas experience 'The Holiday' – Film with Live Orchestra. Don't miss Beloved Christmas romcom, The Holiday (2006) presented live in concert this festive season with the film's legendary Hans Zimmer score played live-to-film by Southern Cross Symphony. The in-concert experience with full orchestra and cinema size screen is an incredibly unique and immersive way to experience The Holiday, which has become a cult Christmas viewing experience for many. A Universal Pictures production, The Holiday stars Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Jack Black, and tells the story of how two women who have never met and live 6,000 miles apart find themselves in the same exact place. They meet online at a home exchange website and impulsively switch homes for the holiday. Iris moves into Amanda's L.A. house in sunny California as Amanda arrives in the snow-covered English countryside. Shortly after arriving at their destinations, both women find the last thing either wants or expects, a new romance. The score for The Holiday was written by world renowned, highly celebrated and multiple Academy Award® and Golden Globe® winning composer Hans Zimmer.
