Noah Kahan Live Review | Melbourne | Rod Laver Arena | 25th September
Noah Kahan transformed Rod Laver Arena into an intimate, communal space for his highly anticipated The Great Divide World Tour. Featuring an elaborate shifting house set, massive unscripted crowd singalongs, and a local Melbourne horn section for the finale, Kahan delivered a grounded and brilliantly authentic performance.
PIERCE THE VEIL | ROD LAVER ARENA | April 12th
There was no time for recovery though, as the next track was arguably one of their best of all time, “Bulls in the Bronx”. From where we were sitting, we had a great view of the pit, they looked like a clan of tiny ants, and the first circle pit of night broke out during the bridge. Lionel has to be one of my favourite live drummers out right now, and his bongo solo before “I’m Low on Gas and You Need a Jacket,” sealed that with a bow for me.
Architects | Festival Hall
Between a strong support lineup and a band clearly grateful to be back on local stages, the night set a solid tone for the rest of the tour. If this first show is anything to go by, Architects’ relationship with Australian crowds remains as strong as ever, and it will be interesting to see how the rest of the run unfolds.
