Kasabian in Docklands

With their last album selling almost a million copies and their website bordering on 800,000 “Likes” you wouldn’t think a band like Kasabian would be playing such an intimate venue.
But that’s exactly what’s happening, the boys from Leicestershire will be rocking Shed 14 at Peninsula come October 5 and tickets will be like hen’s teeth.
Velociraptor, the band’s fourth effort was released on September 19 and the second single off the album, Days Are Forgotten, is already creating a vibe.
Not only will this be a one-off intimate event, it’s the only show they’re playing in Australia amongst their hectic European tour schedule. Kasabian wants to hang with us in Docklands and we will welcome them with hands in the air and air guitar solos.


WHAT: Kasabian Live
WHERE: Shed 14 @ Peninsula, Docklands
WHEN: Wednesday, October 5

Janet sings us some number 1s

“No my first name ain’t Baby, it’s Janet, Miss Jackson if ya’ Nasty!”
Love it, the youngest of all the Jacksons, Janet Jackson will be getting up close and personal with Melbourne’s faithful. These smaller intimate performances are becoming a popular format of late. Bryan Adams performed two smaller shows in St Kilda in September that sold out just hours after being released.
Rather than just a one-off stadium show, fans will be almost high fiving Janet as she struts a selection of her 35 number-one jams.
Touring since she was knee high to Michael, this is Janet’s biggest world tour to date and a third show has been added to give us three chances of seeing a wardrobe malfunction … I mean a living legend!

WHAT: Janet Jackson
WHERE: State Theatre
WHEN: October 26, 27 and 29

Cross-town rivalry kicks off again

Up for a kick? The good old fashioned cross-town rivalry will be in full swing as Melbourne Heart battles Melbourne Victory on October 22.
The first time these teams hit the pitch together was last year at AAMI Park and they didn’t waste any time kissing and hugging – it was on for young and old.
The newcomers Heart upset Victory by taking the game 2-1. Heart didn’t make the finals last year in their inaugural season in the A-League and Victory were strong but had an early exit to the finals at the hands of Brisbane, so both teams will be keen as mustard to get this vital win under their belt.
More than 25,000 punters went crazy at their first meet, so we’ll see which team can keep their socks up in Docklands at the larger Etihad come game night.

WHAT: Melbourne Victory vs Melbourne Heart
WHERE: Etihad Stadium
WHEN: Saturday, October 22
