With Special Guest: Nina Las Vegas
Globally acclaimed, electronic all-star
Cashmere Cat announces he’ll be visiting
Australian shores this November, for a
national headline tour presented by
Astral People & Handsome Tours.
Following his debut album 9, which was
released earlier this year, the
Grammy-nominated, genre-slicing artist
will be bringing his eclectic,
left-field live show to select capital
cities in Australia. Hailing from
Norway, the now LA-based Cashmere Cat
otherwise known as Magnus August Høiberg,
has been warping the boundaries of
electronic music since emerging in 2012
with debut EP Mirror Maru. The EP’s
combination of crunching synthesisers
and off-kilter R&B quickly cemented
Høiberg's sound. Lending Soundcloud
remix treatment to the likes of Jeremih
and 2 Chainz, Høiberg caught the
attention of LA super-producer & mentor
Benny Blanco. Together with Blanco,
Høiberg went on to collaborate with
numerous pop heavyweights including
Tinashe, Charli XCX, Selena Gomez,
Ariana Grande, Wiz Khalifa and Ludacris.
Høiberg has even lent his craft to Yeezy
himself, co-producing “Wolves” from
Kanye West's 2016 LP Life of Pablo.
Høiberg humbly commenting, “I’m the
biggest Kanye fan in the world, and when
they premiered 'Wolves', it was one of
the most exciting days of my life."
Joining Cashmere Cat on tour is very
special guest Nina Las Vegas. One of the
most influential figures in Australian
music, Vegas passionately dedicates
herself to promoting and celebrating the
sounds of underground electronic music
from both Australia and abroad. Together
with her own music, Vegas has released
music for Swick, Air Max ‘97, Lewis
Cancut and Hi Tom on her esteemed label
NLV Records. She's also played sets at
every major Australian festival
including Splendour In The Grass,
Stereosonic, Big Day Out, Parklife and
Groovin The Moo, as well as Coachella,
HARD and Holy Ship internationally.

Empire Touring is thrilled to bring you
music from The Easybeats and Steve
Wright, performed by Australia's rock n
roll royalty: Chris Cheney, Phil
Jamieson, Kram, Tex Perkins & Tim
Rogers. This full blown musical
experience is bound to resonate with
music aficionados. The Easybeats left an
undeniable mark on Australian music
history by becoming the first local band
to generate an international hit. They
steered a new era of people away from
mainstream music culture and earned them
comparisons to the likes of The Beatles.
In Australia, they were the reigning
kings of rock & roll from the summer of
1965, assembling a string of eight Top
Ten chart hits in a year and a half,
including an EP that managed the unusual
feat of making the singles chart.
"Friday On My Mind" was a huge success,
reaching number one in Australia, number
six in Britain and making it into the
top 20 in the US. They went on to record
several more hits including "Sorry",
"She's So Fine", "Wedding Ring", and
"Good Times". After The Easybeats broke
up in 1969, Stevie Wright released his
debut solo album Hard Road in 1974,
which spawned the three-part epic single
"Evie", to a phenomenal response. After
the single was released, it shot to No.
1 and remained in the charts for 26
weeks - it became the biggest Australian
single of that particular year and the
only pop song over six minutes to reach
No 1. In 1979, Stevie Wright headlined
The Concert of the Decade on the steps
of Sydney Opera House, which featured a
stellar line-up of acts. It was there
that he performed Evie (complete) -
which after all these years, is still
referred to as a mind-blowing
experience, by the thousands of adoring
fans that were there on the day. In
2005, The Easybeats were inducted into
the ARIA Hall of Fame. To this day,
their music continues to inspire and
transcend new generations of musicians
and music lovers, particularly, the
all-star team of Aussie artists that
will perform songs of The Easybeats in
December this year.

Across four albums, immense acclaim and
intense adoration, the sound of
Everything Everything has remained a
volatile beast. The quartet have risen
from a cult underground favourite to one
of the biggest and most uncompromising
bands in the UK. Their debut album ‘Man
Alive’ and killer tracks like ‘MY KZ UR
BF’ and ‘Photoshop Handsome’ established
them as a force to be reckoned with,
scoring them a nomination for the
Mercury Music Prize and the Ivor Novello
awards. Triple j smashed their single
‘Cough Cough’, which joined epic tunes
‘Kemosabe’ and ‘Duet’ as their most
loved tracks.

LA trio Foster The People burst on to
the indie scene with their massively
popular and infectiously catchy single
‘Pumped Up Kicks’, which led them to
take home a Billboard Music Award for
Top Rock Song as well as Grammy, BRIT,
NME and Teen Choice Award nominations.
Since then they have been filling
dance-floors worldwide with headline
tours and slots at some of the biggest
international festivals including
Lollapalooza, Glastonbury and Coachella.
Now the sun-drenched Californian outfit
return to Australia, this time bringing
their third record Sacred Hearts Club
along for the ride, featuring hit single
‘Doing it for the Money’.

Mercury Prize winning pioneer of grime,
Dizzee Rascal announces his eagerly
awaited return to Australian shores for
three headline shows in February.
Presented by Astral People, Handsome
Tours, Complex, FBi Radio & Primary
Talent, the platinum chart-topping UK MC
and producer will indulge fans with a
special one-off show at Sydney’s Enmore
Theatre. Since the breaking reception of
his self-produced debut single “I Luv U”
at age sixteen, to the now considered
grime classic Boy in da Corner, which
won the Mercury Prize in 2003 – Dizzee
Rascal has kept the UK garage and
hip-hop scenes alight as a prolific
rapper, collaborator and producer.
Maintaining top position in his field
across the world ever since, Rascal has
won BET, Brit, NME and Urban Music
Awards for a back catalogue that spans
six full-length albums – many platinum
selling – and includes number-one hits
like “Dance wiv Me”, “Bassline Junkie”
and “Bonkers”. Dizzee Rascal continues
to reset the goalposts in grime and UK
hip-hop, and on his sixth album, Raskit,
he returns the compliment of Drake’s
recent grime-flavoured mixtape. Raskit
teams precision-tooled beats from an
astute array of US producers (including
Valentino Khan, Cardo and Paul Salva)
with the sound of Britain’s most
prestigious MC. The result is in a
spiralling sub-bass vortex of
introspective jeep-beats, which takes
Jeremy Paxman (aka Dizzee) back to his
roots, along with a hip-hop twist Jay-Z
or E40 would be proud of. Off the back
of performances at renowned UK and US
festivals Glastonbury, Bestival and
Afropunk, and his own arena-sized UK
tour – Dizzee Rascal makes a hugely
anticipated return to Australia in
February. As a figurehead and pioneers
who continue to play a role in shaping
the evolution and story of grime for
many of today’s up-and-coming artists,
don’t miss the chance to see this
celebrated British MC in peak form.

Elvis '68 Comeback
Special: 50 Years On
Starring Dean Z |
^^ |
|
|
In June of 1968, Elvis Presley had
returned to the Television screen once
again after more than seven years in
Hollywood. In an NBC Christmas special,
Elvis performed live in front of an
audience for the first time since 1961.
This iconic television event later
became known as the ’68 comeback special
and would reignite Elvis’s career on the
world stage. This concert was
particularly important in Elvis' career
as it was his breakaway from the
Hollywood movies which labelled him as a
'sex symbol' as opposed to a serious
actor. Elvis dedicated this staged event
to mark not only his re-emergence into
the music and live performance scene,
but as an opportunity to re-invent
himself as an entertainer. He performed
songs from an era that labelled him the
'King of Rock' such as Heartbreak hotel/
hound Dog/ all shook up and including
new material such as Memories and If I
can Dream. Half a century on, Definitive
Promotions are proud to present… The ’68
Comeback Special – the 50th anniversary
tour starring world renowned Dean Z. In
March of 2018, Dean returns to Australia
for his first official extended tour and
will be backed by the incredible Elvis
In Concert Band! Dean Z is endorsed by
‘Elvis Presley Enterprises’ having won
the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist
Contest. He has been the recipient of
the ‘Heart of The King’ award and was
also awarded the ‘2017 Elvis Tribute
Artist of the year’ title. Dean is
renowned as one of the best Elvis acts
on the planet and travels the globe
paying tribute to Elvis in the era of
the 50's and 60's. Dean is a regular
performer on the stage shows throughout
the USA including 'Legends in Concert'
and ‘Elvis Lives’. He also Headlines
many of the Elvis festivals seen around
the world today. In a two-hour concert
event, allow us to take you back to 1968
as we recreate the famous ’68 comeback
special. A must see-to-believe concert
for all Elvis fans and lovers of Rock
‘n’ Roll.

Cub Sports 'Bats'
Tour |
^^ |
|
|
With the release of their album ‘BATS’
just a week away, Cub Sport have
announced their BATS Album Tour. The
band have had a crazy fortnight with an
online video of Tim and Sam’s engagement
clocking up over half a million views in
just under a week, their BIGSOUND
performance making waves and their
latest single ‘Chasin’ being added to
triple j rotation. Largely written,
recorded and produced at home by
frontman Tim Nelson, BATS is an intimate
album inspired by experiences of
self-doubt, growth, partying, coming
out, learning the power of
self-acceptance, self-belief and falling
in love. While rooted in pop, the record
is an unhindered sonic exploration with
soul and R&B influences. Fans across the
world have been drawn to the aura of
honesty, vulnerability and sincerity as
was evident on the album’s first single
‘O Lord’ and has continued with ‘Chasin’,
a song written as Nelson came to grips
with the feelings he had for bandmate
Sam Netterfield. “In the middle of 2015
I went on a writing trip to LA and
London,” explained Tim. “I enjoyed
getting to write and record with some
really talented people but I was sad for
most of my time away. I missed Sam so
much and I was just asking myself the
whole time, why am I putting myself
through this?! It made me realise that I
was in love with him which was equal
parts exciting and distressing. I’d
hardly come out to myself and the idea
of coming out to anyone else was
terrifying.” BATS hits stores and online
on September 22 with pre-orders
available now, including the awesome
limited edition ‘BATS splatter’ vinyl
which would be nominated for ‘best vinyl
art of the year’ should that award
exist. Pre-order now here. Pre-orders
will receive *FIVE* exclusive songs
before release – ‘O Lord’, ‘Chasin’,
‘Jellybean’s Graduation Song’, and ‘All
The Time’ upon pre-order and ‘Mountains
Higher’.
