Loved the build up and songs fantastic as Macy Gray delivers such a ‘madame ‘full of soul . Her voice was felt across the theatre and I am sure everyone came out of that theatre lifted to feeling like their heart and soul had been refreshed. Intense at the beginning and flowing on to full of love and anticipation of new beginnings .
Amazing, over an hour with Aqua !!!!!!!!!
I wish there wasn't an intermission just before because we were already hyped but OMG Aqua are amazing and they performed so well, so much better than expected. Absolutely love them.
Thank you for putting on this show!!!!! I would love to see them come back again!

I saw the band in their only previous visit to Sydney five years ago at Oxford Art Factory and I must say I liked that show a lot better. This show had 5 times as many punters and the enthusiastic crowd sang along to almost every song, but the fact I didn’t know much of the newer material was a handicap for me. I don’t think the addition of two extra band members (lead guitar plus bass/female vocals) adds anything, the admittedly remarkable saxophonist is very over-used to the point of tedium, and a new arrangement pretty much wrecked my favourite song The Comeback Kid. So while anyone else will probably tell you the show was great I could gladly have missed it (but you never know until you go, do you)?
Awesome show, vintage Dinosaur Jr and such a crowd pleasing set. Loud!!! J Mascis doesn’t change a bit, he’s a true artist and a legend of alternative music. Quite charming that someone would come out and place lyric sheets stuck to cardboard in front of him for each song. There are a lot of songs J, no judgement! Could have used some more lighting effects to really amp up the vibe, but an otherwise incredibly enjoyable night.
Noiseworks were in fine form and the venue is amazing, but I couldn't understand why the GA section was behind the seated section at the lower level.
Jon noted this too and managed to get everyone on their feet which was awesome!
A great night and was glad to be able to showcase some real Australian iconic music to our 16 year old who we dragged along to the show with us. Bought him a Noiseworks shirt at his request and he said it was the best concert he'd been to this year!
The Word Alive were easily the best band of the 3 (Hawthorne Heights and Anberlin), with a good mix resulting in pretty clear vocals and music. The whole band were very tight and energetic…worth the cost of admission just to see them.
What a wonderful, magical night. I've seen many many acts at the Enmore but this was the best. Such joy, emotion, passion and love coming from the stage and returned by the fans. I'm still buzzing two days later. Thanks Cat's. Just amazing !!
I waited and waited for Ian's show to be announced at the Enmore and dived onto the ticketing system the minute they went on sale.
Having seen the 2018 concert at the Enmore (and thinking that it was easily one of the best shows I've seen in the last 45 years , if not the best) and then the 2021/22 (??) concert at the Factory with the new band, I was wondering just how Ian and the team could make this show better.
He did it in incredible form.
A great addition to have his son also on the bill, and there's a talent to be reconded with in the years to come.
A fantastic show, just could not take the smile off my face.
Thank you Ian and the Band.
It was even worth the $120 parking ticket I got from the miserable low life wandering the streets during the concert, making revenue for the local council.
Looking foreward to the next concert in Sydney.
I grew up listening to James Reyne when he was the frontman for Australian Crawl during the early eighties. I think every Australian growing up through this period would have had their music somewhere in their K-Tel record selector. James Reyne is an amazing artist along with his band members. I feel privileged that I have been able to see James Reyne perform solo and with his old band Australian Crawl. Terrence.
Thanks so much to AJ and The Pheonix for bringing this show to the Enmore and making it all ages. My daughters first gig and was given the greatest experience of her life to date. Pilyphia didn't skip a beat and they are the most humble guys.
What a fantastic night. The support act was Frank Turner (UK) with only his guitar and himself he really put on a great performance. Then the Crow's came on and with each song just grew stronger and stronger. Awesome venue and awesome show.
Great concert as always! Sound mix was pretty well balanced. Good set overall, a shame they could only play until 11 PM (1 1/2 hr show). However, the bonus was we got nearly an hour of another international rock band in Theory, who we have seen before. Great set also! All round a great night out at the Enmore Theatre…oh and the theatre has been refurbished…very nice job, jazzed up a bit whilst retaining the original charm. Probably my favourite venue in Sydney.
Closest gig to seeing Nirvana. Her sound, movements, her roadworn screams - even her equipment.. all Cobain signature model guitars.. we stood there jaws agape at her playing and also at the sheer volume and use of feedback and absolutely ear splitting distortion. I heard a few people were a little put off of these rearrangements, expecting the nice jangle pop of her brilliant body of work, however, that night we witnessed something very special. Courtney took to the stage like a woman possessed and wrung the necks of her guitars and screamed absolute
mur der that night. Now, I’ve seen Courtney play quite a few times - before and since, and never has she done a show like she did that night at the Enmore. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 💙
Bloody awesome concert !
The favourites we expected from Oz Crawl, some of his own hits, and some performed in a different fashion (Boys Light Up in Acoustic was brilliant!).
The concert finished with a brilliant rendition by the entire band of my favourite Oz Crawl song - “Things Don’t Seem”.
The band really gelled well with each other - very smooth !
Great seats (Row F), great audience and thoroughly enjoyable concert !!
What a brilliant show. Their sound live is just like from the studio. The Enmore is one of those special places and Newtown is their home suburb. The atmosphere was great. I felt privileged to be part of the last Australian show before the guys jet off to the UK and Europe later in the year. Good luck. You can get the Tour Playlist on Spotify!
They were great but they came out half an hour late! It was raining and the crowd was horrible and pushing, so it was torture having to wait. And when they eventually came out they didn't even apologise for being so late on.
The show was absolutely AMAZING and worth waiting two years for (thanks to covid). The Whitlams never disappoint and always give the absolute best performance and I was in heaven! Managed to get right down to the front to sing along to every word and they showcased their new album Sancho which is brilliant and fast becoming one of my favourites! I'm still on a high and wish I could see them every day, I'd never get sick of seeing them perform! They still give as good as they ever did!!!! I'm in awe I think it's one of the best Whitlams gigs I have ever been to and there have been many!!!!!
The crowd were polite, caring and energetic. He was bouncing off the walls and sung his heart out like the amazing person he is. It was my first concert ever and he made it perfect. YUNGBLUD is the best person you could see live and I really don’t know how it could get better than him.
The show was completely unreal. Dean was so interactive with the crowd. He was so passionate and sounded incredible. He was also really affordable (I payed $70 and I was right near the front). I’m sure I can gladly say all of us, in the crowd, had the night of our lives. If he had more Sydney shows I definitely would have gone again. By far the best concert I’ve been to so far.
Show was amazing! Felt so lucky to be able to see them on their first Australian tour, waited for years for them to come out here and was so worth it. Can't wait for NSP and TWRP to come back already. Entertaining, funny, and rocked hard 😁
