Burna Boy Announces Australian Arena Tour For October 2025
Hot on the heels of dropping his eighth studio album No Sign Of Weakness, the GRAMMY-winning Afrofusion king is heading to Australia this October for a string of massive headline shows across the country.
Burna Boy – 'Change Your Mind' Ft. Shaboozey
The No Sign Of Weakness Australia Tour strtches across four huge nights, kicking off on Thursday, 16th October at Melbourne's Sidney Myer Music Bowl, before hitting Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Brisbane Entertainment Centre, and wrapping things up at Perth's RAC Arena on Friday, 24th October.
Known for his electric stage presence, genre-melding sound, and sold-out arena takeovers across the globe, Burna Boy's Aussie return follows a history-making run — he's the first Nigerian artist to ever headline Red Rocks Amphitheatre in the US (yep, the same place U2 and Radiohead have torn up), and the first African artist with two albums to rack up over a billion streams on Spotify.
His new record No Sign Of Weakness is also a straight-up flex — featuring collabs with Travis Scott ('TaTaTa') and Shaboozey ('Change Your Mind), plus reggae-tinged hit 'Sweet Love', the euphoric 'Bundle By Bundle', and chant-along anthem 'Update'.
With 11 GRAMMY nominations, four BET Award wins, and a 2023 Billboard trophy for Top Afrobeats Artist, Burna Boy has become the global ambassador for African music, shattering records and stereotypes with every release. His sound blends Afrobeats with pop, hip-hop, R&B, reggae and everything in between.

Music Review: 5 Seconds of Summer's Michael Clifford goes solo on ambitious, pop-punk 'SIDEQUEST'
Over a decade ago, the Australian pop-punk boy band 5 Seconds of Summer emerged as charming genre-revivalists. Their 2014 career-making single 'She Looks So Perfect' was all palm-muted power chords and gang vocals, a familiar sound for fans of the Warped Tour scene. In the years since, the quartet evolved into a full-on arena pop-rock act, taking turns at releasing solo material. Next up is lead guitarist Michael Clifford, the edgiest of the bunch, with a spirited solo debut album that feels truer to the band's earliest material than their most recent. But he doesn't just rehash the past. Rather, the colorful-haired musician adds his own twist on 'SIDEQUEST.' Ten energetic, introspective tracks form a tight album that explores self-doubt, fame and romance. The songs are pop-punk in spirit but deviate from the formula with a stadium-sized production: experimental electronics, big synths and versatile vocals. And it is an emotional journey. The lovesick opener 'Kill Me for Always,' featuring Porter Robinson, sets the stage, with its scintillating mix of electronica and bass. The sound of 'Cool,' released as a single, acts as the strongest evidence of Clifford's former boy band roots. It's self-deprecating and self-aware. 'Confidence doesn't come so easily / When you're the guy who caught fire with the colored hair / From the band with the song about underwear,' Clifford sings, referencing the chorus of 'She Looks So Perfect.' In an album stuffed with energetic songs juxtaposed with existential lyrics, the best track arrives at a midpoint high in 'Enough.' 'At 3 a.m. awake again / I can see all of the damage you've done,' Clifford sings through an evocative rasp. 'With friends like you who needs a loaded gun.' 'Remember When' and 'Fashion' maintain the swoony cadence of Clifford's 5 Seconds of Summer work; 'Eclipse' ends the album in a crescendo. 'SIDEQUEST' sets out to prove it's both a culmination of the last decade of Clifford's life and a deviation from it, as he steps into his own sound. Thankfully, for fans, it succeeds. The debut album reflects Clifford's maturation and self-agency, despite the insecurities and doubts that creep in throughout. 'All I've done / Is it ever gonna be enough?' Clifford sings, growing hoarser, in 'Enough.' Then the question changes: 'Am I ever gonna be enough?' On 'SIDEQUEST,' the answer, quite simply, is yes.

Why Bindi Irwin Has Been So Honest About Her Endometriosis Journey
Originally appeared on E! Online Bindi Irwin named her daughter Grace Warrior, knowing from personal experience that some of life's challenges may require every last ounce of fighting spirit to overcome. The Australian conservationist, who shares the 4-year-old with husband Chandler Powell, suffered in silence for more than a decade before undergoing surgery in 2023 to treat endometriosis, a condition in which uterine lining tissue grows outside of the uterus. "Doctor after doctor would say, 'Hey, it's just part of being a woman, there's really nothing wrong with you,'" Bindi recalled on a February episode of the A Life of Greatness With Sarah Grynberg podcast. "I was just getting more and more unwell, and it affects so many different parts of your life." She was still nervous about sharing such a personal story with millions of people. But once Bindi, who's celebrating her 27th birthday July 24, detailed her experience, the daughter of late Crocodile Hunter star Steve Irwin didn't regret it. More from E! Online Kelly Clarkson Debuts Chopped Bob Hair Transformation Idaho Murderer Bryan Kohberger Stabbed Xana Kernodle Over 50 Times: Autopsy Sharon Osbourne Reacts to Ozzy Osbourne Tribute After His Death "All I want is to help other people that are in the same position,' Bindi told E! News in May. 'Women have to choose their support system—whether it's your family or your chosen family, your friends—you have to find people that are going to keep lifting you up, because it's a very lonely disease as well." Only her mom Terri Irwin, brother Robert Irwin and her husband knew what she had been going through before she broke her silence in March 2023. And no one guessed that the perpetually beaming Bindi—who even as a child conducted herself with utmost poise after losing her dad—had been hurting so badly. "You can show up and have a big rain cloud sitting over you," she told Sarah Grynberg. "That's not a great way to live. You can choose to show up for yourself and for everybody else in a more positive way." Yet her self-described "glass-half-full" approach only went so far when crippling physical pain was involved. "Behind closed doors," she continued, "I was struggling to do anything and everything. It resulted in a lot of canceled plans. I think people must have thought I was incredibly flaky." When she finally underwent surgery in the U.S. two years ago, her medical team found 37 lesions and an ovarian cyst filled with old menstrual blood. "If I hadn't gotten surgery," Bindi said, "the next five years of my life would have been very make-or-break, because I was having real problems internally." But though she certainly felt validated after years of life-interrupting fatigue, nausea and pain, her journey wasn't over, endometriosis having no cure. In May, hours after calling her condition a "lonely disease," in fact, Bindi underwent emergency surgery to have her appendix removed, and doctors found another 14 lesions, as well as repaired a hernia that stemmed from Grace's birth in 2021. Which made Bindi more determined than ever to keep it real in hopes that grinning and bearing it will become a thing of the past. "The reason I share my health journey is because more girls and women desperately need answers to their undiagnosed pain," she wrote on Instagram two weeks after the procedures. "This disease is crippling and can make you feel incredibly isolated." "We need to raise awareness and change the narrative for women's health," she continued. "I see you, your pain is real, and you deserve answers and genuine health care." Whatever the cause, Bindi throws herself into it, her boundless enthusiasm reminiscent of her dad, who died in 2006 when she was only 8. "He was always on the go, he never stopped," Bindi told Los Angeles' KTLA of her father in 2016. "I think I inherited his lack of patience, because if he had something on his mind he just had to do it right now." But it wasn't until her daughter was born that Bindi really went to bat for herself and called B.S. on the whole "this is all just part of being a woman" explanation for her pain. "I went, 'I have to do something,'" she recalled on A Life of Greatness. "This can't just all be in my head." Not to mention, she needed every drop of energy possible to care for the most important two-legged creature in her life. "Once you have a child," she explained, "your whole existence becomes trying to care for them. When I was so sick, it was hard to do. So then I found help and I'm so grateful to be on the other side of surgery."

Tennis world sends flood of messages amid lovely news for Sam Stosur and partner
Sam Stosur has announced the birth of her second child with partner Liz, sparking a flood of congratulatory messages for the Aussie tennis champion. Stosur took to Instagram on Wednesday night to announce the arrival of a baby girl called Emmeline Grace. "And beautiful chaos reigns once again," Stosur wrote alongside a photo of the new bub. "Evie is beyond happy to have a little sister and we are over the moon. We love you so much little Emmy." Aussie tennis great Rennae Stubbs led the well-wishes, writing: "Just another gorgeous baby girl for me to love endlessly! Emmy your Auntie Nae Nae can't wait to meet you!! Sam and Liz, I'm so happy for you both and Evie, you're going to be the best big sis ever! Love you all." Retired Russian tennis player Elena Vesnina wrote: "She is precious. Congratulations Sam!!!" While Aussie player Maddison Inglis commented: "So beautiful!!!! Can't wait to meet her." Fellow Aussie great Alicia Molik added: "Congrats Sam Liz and Evie." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Samantha Stosur (@samstosur) Stosur and Astling had their first daughter Evie five years ago. On that occasion it was Astling who carried Evie, but this time around it was Stosur who gave birth to Emmy. Stosur is a legend of Australian tennis, famously winning the US Open singles title in 2011 when she beat Serena Williams on her home court. She reached World No.4 in singles that same year, and was World No.1 in doubles in 2006. She also won six grand slam titles in doubles - four in women's and two in mixed - including the Australian Open mixed title in 2005 and women's title in 2019. The 41-year-old is now the captain of Australia's Billie Jean King Cup team, helping mentor some of the country's best young talent. Sam Stosur's brave move after keeping relationship secret Stosur has been in a relationship with Astling since 2016, but she admitted she was initially too scared to go public because of what the reaction would be like. After she won the 'Spirit of Tennis' award at the Newcombe Medal ceremony in 2019, she realised she wanted to show her partner the proper recognition she deserved, but hadn't done so in her acceptance speech. 'I was in the car park at the end of the night and something just didn't feel right because I'd thanked all these people who were obviously very, very important to me, but not my partner,' she said at the time. 'And she is a huge part of what I've been able to do. And who I am now. "And that just didn't sit well with me. And I thought, 'Do you know what? Bugger this, I just want to thank her and I want to do this'. So that's why I put it on Instagram. As you get older and you're more mature and you reflect more on things and I thought, you know what, this is who I am.'

'Once I stepped off stage I was like, 'What are you doing? You've just accepted this award, thanked all these people and the person who is really with you every single day, the person you have the most candid and open discussions with who you want to spend the rest of your life with, you can't mention them on stage?," she added. 'I was like, 'Nah, that's ridiculous, I don't want to do that anymore'. We were walking back to the car to come home and I said, 'I want to do this' and I think I hit send at 3am or something.'
