G Flip announces global Dream Ride Tour, returning to Australia and Perth next year
The Aussie drummer, singer, songwriter and producer will tour the country on a global Dream Ride Tour in support of the star's third studio album to be released on September 5.
G, 31, will bring their explosive live show to fans in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide before wrapping up in Perth at the Fremantle Arts Centre on March 14.
Joining the Melbourne-born-LA-based artist on the road is Canadian girl band The Beaches who went viral in 2023 with their single Blame Brett.
The Toronto outfit now have a new single out called Touch Myself and a new album called No Hard Feelings set for release in August.
Opening each Aussie show is rising star Ayesha Madon — known for playing Amerie in Netflix series Heartbreak High — who is taking the industry by storm from radio airwaves and streaming to magazine covers and Logie nominations.
The tour comes after G Flip, born Georgia Flipo, refreshed their image — which included a hair transformation — and announced a bold evolution of their sound from indie pop to 1980s textures.
The new record promises bigger feels but still stays rooted in G Flip's big pop hooks and confessional songwriting.
G Flip was most recently in WA in November last year where they played at Spilt Milk House Party in Kings Park.
In 2023, G told The West: 'I think Perth is one of the most beautiful places in Australia and every time I go over there it seems to be some kind of music or festival vibe.'
'The weather is beautiful and the vibes are high.'

‘Belittling': 24-year-old reveals response she gets from some men because of the industry she works in
A young Aussie has opened up about the bizarre reaction she gets from men because of what she does for work. Emma Gillman runs her own marketing company, The Siren Group, which specialises in supporting clients in the X-rated industry. The 24-year-old is passionate about her work but was recently taken aback when a man she met at a pub called it 'degrading', proving there's still such a stigma. 'Men often sit on the more polarised ends of the spectrum, either they're super supportive, invested and helpful, or they're dismissive and belittling,' she said. The young Aussie is single and she's found men making bizarre comments about her work a weirdly normal part of dating. 'There's a lot of micro-objectification that comes with being single and talking to men about what I do for work,' she told 'They will often start talking to me about sex, what they like in bed, or ask me what my 'weirdest sex story' is — all within minutes of meeting.' Ms Gillman said she finds it more 'annoying' because so many men make assumptions based off stereotyping. 'They'd never jump to personal sex questions if I worked in corporate PR,' she said. Once she even had a man that was seated next to her on a flight randomly start asking her about her sex life after she mentioned what she does for a living. 'When I tried to shut the conversation down by telling him it's a job, so it hasn't changed anything, he explained how he thought I'd be more open to things like sex parties,' she said The 24-year-old said she doesn't let these men's comments get her down, particularly because she finds what she does 'empowering,' but that doesn't mean it isn't exhausting. 'It makes total sense that some men feel threatened by women's increasing sexual autonomy,' she argued. Ms Gillman said she has no time for anyone who looks down on the people she does marketing for and it frustrates her that people think they can insult them to her face. 'I could go on and on about the amount of sexist comments people have said to me,' she said. The 24-year-old said that it is one of the most 'frustrating and infuriating' parts of working in the industry. Ms Gillman is used to being underestimated, she routinely deals with people who dismiss her business as 'silly or a hobby' simply because of her age. 'I've been able to get quite far in terms of my finances, but I really struggle with the way I'm being treated as a young woman starting her own thing,' she said. 'In the beginning I felt the need to talk a lot about numbers to prove that I was doing well.' Ms Gillman said she's more comfortable in herself now. She knows how well her business is doing, and she's learnt to ignore anyone who acts differently. The 24-year-old is a fan of running her own business and creating an empire – but she doesn't recommend it for everyone. You have to be able to work on multiple projects at once and learn about everything from people management to tax. 'It is stressful and not for everyone,' she said. 'I think a lot of people don't have the confidence, and they really should; you look at people you work with in an office and think 'you're an idiot',' she said.

Moment wedding entrance is ‘ruined' as venue catches on fire
An Aussie couple's dream wedding reception went unexpectedly viral after a video captured the moment a lavish floral display caught fire. The bride, who looked stunning in a floor-length, long-sleeve gown, and her groom made a grand entrance into their wedding hall, greeted by a drumming circle. The guests cheered as the newlyweds entered the venue and did a small dance, smiling and gazing at each other lovingly as they celebrated becoming husband and wife. But unbeknown to the couple, trouble was brewing in the background. The decorative pyrotechnics that were dotted along the walkway into the hall had ignited a floral arbour at the entrance. Within seconds, the arch - filled with white and pastel pink flowers and attached to a wooden frame - was on fire. But the couple seemed blissfully unaware, continuing their dance as the flames grew larger. The footage, shared on TikTok, even shows some guests and performers glancing nervously at the fire, yet no one appears to raise the alarm or alert the couple. As the video gained nearly half a million views, viewers were quick to comment on the bizarre scene. 'Love how the drummers played still like when the Titanic was sinking and the violinist still played – dedicated,' joked one. '(The couple) were oblivious to it all, now that's love,' quipped another. However, many voiced concern over everyone's lack of action. 'Considering people noticed the blaze immediately, this could have all been avoided if someone had asked the staff members for an extinguisher,' said one. 'Seriously, no one stopped to let them know there was a fire?' questioned another. Others questioned the use of pyrotechnics indoors, especially near flammable decor. 'Indoor fireworks need to be banned,' claimed one. 'This is unacceptable and shouldn't have happened,' wrote someone else. 'Imagine if someone got hurt'. Meanwhile, some just shared their sympathies. 'My heart goes out to the wedding couple,' said one. 'I hope they were still able to enjoy their day.' The poster then shared a follow-up clip, showing guests standing on the waterlogged floor after the fire sprinklers were triggered. The once stylish room was now flooded with water, the tables were abandoned and guests were standing around, unsure of what to do next. It is unknown what wedding venue this occurred at.

‘We're done': Reason Aussie influencers are moving overseas
Australia has become known to many as the 'lucky country', but Aussie influencers are leaving the country in droves to pursue opportunities overseas. Successful Queensland-based digital nomads and influencers Brent and Molly — who gained popularity through travelling around Australia in a caravan for two-and-a-half years with their two children — announced this week that they are leaving the country. 'We're leaving Australia. For good. Not for a holiday. Not for a break. Not for a visa run. We're done.' They captioned their social media post. The reasons they listed for leaving included: sky-high taxes, insane cost of living and shrinking opportunities for entrepreneurs. The pair didn't reveal where they were headed, instead asking their followers to guess which country they were jetting off to. 'Easy. Bali' one person commented. 'Great move. I would think it could be Thailand' another guessed. 'USA' was a repeated guess from many, perhaps due to the fact that the family of four have just returned from a trip to America and Mexico. The pair dismissed some of the guesses in an Instagram story, without revealing where they were moving. 'Is it Bali or Thailand? No definitely not . . .lots of people do but definitely not for us,' they clarified. The announcement comes just months after Gold-Coast based TikTok star Kat Clark announced her move to the US. Many were surprised despite her husband and 14-year-old daughter Deja joining her, she was leaving behind her 22-year-old daughter Latisha. A teary farewell hug at Brisbane Airport as Kat, Jonathan and Deja say goodbye to Latisha before starting their new life in LA. Credit: Instagram The family-focused content creator with 7.4m followers claimed the reason that she was leaving was due to the career opportunities available in the US—particularly TikTok's Creator Rewards program— which is not available in Australia. 'We've had some opportunities come up in America and we're going to give it a go,' the Courier Mail claims Clark said. While some welcomed the news of Clark's move, many were quick to question her relocation to the US given the current political climate. 'I'm sorry, no opportunity could convince me to move to America (right now) it's literally turning into a hell hole,' one person said. 'Why on earth anyone would want to move to America from Australia is beyond me' another commented.
