What-what, what, what? It’s time to pop some tags and look incredible in your grandad’s clothes, because Macklemore is heading back Down Under with a series of headline shows in Australia and New Zealand in May 2024. The multi-platinum and Grammy award-winning alternative hip-hop artist behind hits like ‘Thrift Shop’ and ‘Can’t Hold Us’ just dropped his first album in six years.

That’s right, after selling out her run of headline dates last year, Secret Sounds is excited to announce that Girl in Red is heading back Down Under, set to play some of her biggest Australian shows yet this July.  With her latest album in tow, the Doing it Again Asia/Oceania Tour will grace the stage of Sydney’s legendary Hordern Pavilion on Sunday, July 14, in addition to dates in Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane (and we’re also told that Adelaide should “sit tight”).  Since the release of her charming debut single ‘I wanna be your girlfriend’ Norwegian alt-pop artist, songwriter and record producer Marie Ulven (aka Girl in Red) has been gaining legions of fans with her biting songs about navigating the world as a young queer woman. Her honest lyrics and intimate production has thrilled listeners around the world, making the Norway-born singer-songwriter one of the streaming era’s biggest grass-roots success stories. Ulven’s successes so far have taken her a long way from the bedroom where she made her earliest records. She's played popular festivals such as Oya and Glastonbury and toured with pop icons like Conan Gray, Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift on the North American leg of her record-breaking
