ONEFOUR - BACK OUTSIDE TOUR
Australia's most exciting drill rap groups, ONEFOUR, announces their Back Outside Tour. They’ll be heading across regional Australia for the very first time, giving fans in these areas the chance to experience their debut album live alongside the drill anthems that shifted the sound of Australian hip hop and put Western Sydney on the map. Presented by triple j, the tour will kick off in Newcastle on Friday 11th September at Bar on The Hill, before visiting 12 regional stops across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, winding up at Gilligans in Cairns on Saturday 17 October. Tickets will be available for presale from 9am AEST on Wednesday 22 July, before general on-sale commences at 9am AEST on Friday 24 July. The news arrives off the back of ONEFOUR’s 2025 debut record Look At Me Now, an unflinching statement of pride in where they're from, a voice for the marginalized and a raw look at the hand they were dealt. The album saw the group entering a mix of pop with their classic drill sound with pop, brought to life with world-class collaborations from Headie One, The Kid Laroi and Mabel to name a few. More recently, the group took that energy to the global stage, performing alongside 50 Cent for the Malaysian Cup football final. Now, they're heading further than ever before, straight into the heart of regional Australia. Since bursting onto the scene in 2017, ONEFOUR have never played it safe. The group staunchly announced themselves in early 2019 with a combo of singles, "Spot The Difference" and "The Message," which spread like wildfire, sparking a wave of reaction videos across the US and UK. The heat was undeniable, landing the group a link-up with A$AP Mob’s own A$AP Ferg on "Say It Again". Just months later, they joined forces with some of the UK's finest, AJ Tracey, Headie One and Stormzy on the remix of "Ain't It Different" before capping off the year with a hometown link-up with The Kid Laroi for "My City". That track landed on ONEFOUR's 2020 debut EP, Against All Odds, earning a 4-star review from NME and love from GQ, triple j and beyond. Fast forward to 2023, and their story hit the big screen with a Netflix documentary sharing the EP's name. Directed by Sydney filmmaker Gabriel Gasparinatos and premiered at SXSW Sydney, the film pulls no punches, laying bare how deeply the Western Sydney rap group's career has been entangled with the NSW Police. Since then, ONEFOUR have gone from strength to strength - sharing arena stages with Central Cee, supporting DAVE and selling out their first national tour with 10+ shows. Few artists have stayed in people's mouths and on people's stereos quite like ONEFOUR, and this September, members Celly, J Emz, Lekks and Spenny are finally giving regional fans what they've been waiting for.

Pete Helliar - An International Kerfuffle
What happens when a well-meaning comedian makes a cheeky joke about ISIS… during a live interview with Tim Cahill… on national TV… right before a World Cup qualifier against Honduras? A full-blown international incident, apparently. In this hilariously outrageous true story, Pete Helliar finds himself at the centre of a media firestorm after a throwaway line on The Project goes global. It’s a wild, hilarious deep dive into intent, outrage, and the terrifying power of one well-timed punchline. Was Pete off side—or just ahead of the game? “This is pro-comedy.” ★★★★★ The AU Review “Peter Helliar makes the difficult business of being funny look dead easy.” Adelaide Advertiser DETAILS Sunday 11 October 2026 6.30pm doors 7.00pm show 18+ event
