About Jimmy Rees Beginning his career as Jimmy Giggle on the award-winning ABC Kid's TV series Giggle & Hoot, he spent a decade as the face of the iconic kids TV series, airing seven days a week on the national broadcaster. During this time he toured with Giggle & Hoot, playing to more than 500,000 people live and releasing several albums including an iTunes #1 Christmas album featuring duets with Tina Arena, FiFi Box, Justine Clarke, David Campbell, Deb Mailman and others. After a decade at the ABC TV it was time to hang up his pyjamas and farewell his puppet pal Hoot. He first-step out of children's television came when he joined the cast of Dancing With The Stars as his first primetime foray (raising money and awareness for one of his favourite charities Very Special Kids). An instant fan favourite and dubbed 'Jimmy Sizzle' by the judges, Jimmy Giggle was now in the rear vision mirror. It was during the pandemic however, that Jimmy really solidified his reinvention – his comedy content connecting with millions, his videos attaining up to 40 million views each on Facebook alone. He now has four million social media followers. Jimmy's video views on Facebook clocked up 180 million viewing minutes in 2021 and tens of millions more across his TikTok, Instagram and Youtube Channels and they have just continued to grow and grow ever since. Thanks to his on-point social observations and sharp satire, Jimmy became a bonafide viral sensation, with his Meanwhile In Australia series, the Brighton Ladies, the Guy Who Decides and Byron Baes resonating with people here and around the globe. These now iconic characters have firmly cemented themselves into the social media landscape. In 2022 Jimmy embarked on his first national comedy tour as himself. Originally just five shows, the tour became 35 sold-out shows in largescale venues around the country, making it one of the most successful comedy tours of the year. The show aired on Foxtel as a Binge Original Production premiering the the same day his book the Guy Who Decides was released. The special became the #1 Comedy special of the year on Binge and the book hit the #1 spot in the comedy publishing category and followed on from his best-selling series of children's books. In 2023 Jimmy joined Tom Gleeson, Julia Morris and some of the countries favourite comedians for the inaugural season of the now hit series Task Master on Channel 10, and appeared in the Stan Christmas Movie, A Jones Family Christmas. He then backed up his enormous debut tour with an even bigger tour in late 2023 followed by a run of regional dates in 2024, including sold-out charity shows in Lismore, with 100% of the proceeds going into the Lismore flood recovery funds. In 2024 Jimmy was awarded an Order of Australia medal for his services to comedy and his charity work…. Jimmy Rees OAM!

Two years on from their first sold-out tour down under, today's news sees the band – Jeffery Jordan, Spencer Stewart, and Garrison Burgess – also officially announcing their forthcoming third studio album, NeverAlways, arriving July 25th via Atlantic Records (pre-order here). The 11-track collection is previewed today by new tracks and videos: 'Stupid Questions' and 'Hates Me Yet (222)'. ' Both 'Stupid Questions' and 'Hates Me Yet (222)' came from a similar headspace – that spiral you slip into when you care a little too much and think a little too hard,' explains Jeffery Jordan. ' We wanted these songs and their visuals to capture the way overthinking can feel both ridiculous and heavy at the same time… two sides to the same door, except one's a smirk and the other's a blow to the chest.' The band's NeverAlways headline tour kicks off in Atlanta, GA this October, starting with a 28-date North American run ahead of European dates in December, the Australian leg continuing through February 2026. For full routing and ticket information, please visit Tickets for the AU/NZ shows go on sale Friday 27 June (10am local time) via Frontier members can access early presale tickets via the promoter presale, starting Wednesday 25 June (10am local time). The NeverAlways era kicked off last month with 'Infinity', co-written with longtime collaborators Seth Ennis and Schmidt (capturing the classic CAMINO sound first heard on hit singles 'Daphne Blue' and 'See Through') and 'Baggy Jeans,' co-written with Captain Cuts. The forthcoming album also features collaborators Jonah Shy (Role Model, Shawn Mendes) & Gabe Simon (Noah Kahan, Gracie Abrams). ' All at once, the music is the juxtaposition of who we've been, where we're going, and where we're headed,' Jordan continues. ' We wouldn't have made this record five years ago. It's a perfect snapshot of what we're listening to, how our tastes have matured, and how we've evolved. We're continuing to take people on a journey.' The Band CAMINO has amassed nearly 1 billion career streams, sold out global headline tours, and received critical acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard and more. Since forming in 2015, they've unleashed a series of fan favourite projects including the My Thoughts On You EP (2016), Heaven EP (2017), tryhard EP (2019), self-titled debut LP The BAND CAMINO (2021), and sophomore LP The Dark (2023). They have delivered showstopping performances on The Kelly Clarkson Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live, in addition to major festival sets at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and more. Now entering their tenth year, the trio has crafted their most substantial body of work yet alongside exhilarating live shows slated through 2026.

Sombr Announces Debut Headline AU & NZ Dates As Part Of His Late Nights & Young Romance World Tour
Press Release – Frontier Touring Company Frontier Touring is hyped to announce 19-year-old, alternative-pop artist sombr will make his Australia and New Zealand headline debut this December. Also in the country for shows at Spilt Milk festival, sombr will perform unmissable headline shows at Auckland Town Hall, Melbourne's Festival Hall, Sydney's Hordern Pavilion and Brisbane's The Fortitude Music Hall. Frontier Members can access the presale which begins Wednesday 21 May from 3pm local time, before tickets go on sale Thursday 22 May from 4pm local time. Tickets and tour information via Shane Boose became sombr via a make-shift recording studio in his bedroom. The 19-year-old Lower East Side native honed his talents at New York's performing arts school, LaGuardia High, spending his days studying classical music and late nights dabbling in young romance, skateboarding, and generally getting into trouble. When COVID hit, his own music became an escape for the young artist from the physical and social isolation brought on by the pandemic. sombr taught himself music production and immersed himself in obsessively recording emotional indie-rock tracks. His song 'Caroline' (released in 2022) became a sad girl anthem, taking the internet by storm. The track was self-produced, self-written and self-released when sombr was just 16, it has since been streamed on Spotify over 45 million times. Continuing to drop EPs and singles ever since, sombr now has over 28 million monthly listeners. His songs 'would've been you', 'do I ever cross your mind', ' back to friends' and latest single ' undressed ' have become indie-rock hits, with the latter two certified Gold in Australia and currently in the top 10 of the ARIA singles chart. sombr also teamed up with Rachel Chinouriri (2025 Britt Nominee and support for Sabrina Carpenter's tour) to release a remix / collab of Rachel's hit 'All I Ever Asked'. It's the kind of trajectory that feels once in a generation. Between his remarkable aural instincts and an insatiability for experimenting with new sounds, sombr exudes staying power. This became more evident during his headline 2024 North American tour. Concert Chronicles stated, 'sombr did not disappoint, delivering a performance that was both mesmerizing and electrifying' of his live show, with My Life In Sound adding, 'If you have the chance to see sombr live, seize the opportunity – his performance is not to be missed.' Earlier this year sombr toured North America and will soon support Nessa Barrett in the UK and Europe, before embarking on his very own world tour. Australia and New Zealand don't miss sombr's first visit to our shores, grab your tickets when they go on sale this Thursday
