It ain't over: The 'Lennaissance' is set to hit Down Under
American rock legend Lenny Kravitz is coming back to Australia in November as part of his worldwide Blue Electric Light Tour.
The four-time Grammy Award-winning writer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and singer was forced to cancel his 2020 Here to Love Tour of Australia due to COVID-19 restrictions in force at the time.
The Blue Electric Light Tour 2025 continues what Billboard has called the "Lennaissance" - a renewed period of worldwide success for Kravitz, who released his critically-acclaimed 12th studio album Blue Electric Light last year.
Regarded as one of the greatest rock musicians of our time, Kravitz has transcended genre, style, race and class during his three-decade-plus musical career.
He has 12 albums and more than 40 million album sales to his name, and is known for songs such as American Woman, Fly Away, It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over, Believe, Black Velveteen, Stand By My Woman and I Belong To You.
His 2023 song Road To Freedom won a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song (Motion Picture), a Critics Choice Award nomination for Best Song, and the Guild of Music Supervisors Award nomination for Best Song Written and/or Recorded for a Film.
Last year, Kravitz was honoured with a Music Icon Award star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at the People's Choice Awards, the Best Rock Award at the 2024 Video Music Awards, and the CFDA's Fashion Icon Award.
"We're thrilled to welcome Lenny Kravitz and his band back to Australia," TEG LIVE head of touring Tim McGregor said.
"This dynamic live show is not to be missed. Lenny will perform all the hits, along with fan favourites from Blue Electric Light.
"The energy, vocal power, and stage presence of Kravitz and his exhilarating band are truly outstanding."
ARIA Hall of Fame inductees Jet will return to Australia to support Kravtix on his Blue Electric Light Tour. The band has been travelling the world to celebrate the 21st anniversary of their debut album Get Born, which has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide.
Lenny Kravitz's Blue Electric Light Tour will kick off in New Zealand on November 15, before the rocker makes his way across the water for his first Aussie show at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on November 18.
Tickets will be available on pre-sale via the Artist & Telstra from 9am on Tuesday, June 17 to Thursday, June 19.
General public tickets go on sale from 10am Friday, June 20 at https://premier.ticketek.com.au.

Indianna Carroll, daughter of NRL legend Mark ‘Spudd' Carroll, cut from Dallas Cowboys cheerleader squad
Indianna Carroll, the daughter of NRL legend Mark 'Spudd' Carroll, has issued a sad statement after having her American dream crushed. Indianna has been attempting to join the hugely popular Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders outfit (aka America's Sweethearts) but has failed to progress in the gruelling auditioning progress. It is a different story for West Australian Faith Ward, with the 22-year-old dancer/acrobat/model making it through to the training camp. But for Indianna, who also attempted to join the famous cheerleading team last year, it is heartbreak. 'This past weekend, I had the incredible honour of standing among 80 phenomenal dancers on finals day for the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders — a dream I've held close to my heart for as long as I can remember,' she said. 'Coming from Australia, my journey looked different. I didn't grow up in the same systems or with the same access, and I don't have a large social media following or a history in the American dance scene. 'Many of the women auditioning were not only remarkable performers but showcased years of specialised training, gymnastic foundations, and performance experience in styles I simply didn't invest in growing up in Australia, however I showed up anyway, as fully and authentically as I could. 'I brought everything I had — my heart, my training and my deep love for the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader's legacy. I danced with every ounce of passion I had, knowing I was representing not only myself, but also the community back home who dared to dream with me. 'Unfortunately, my journey came to an end (on Sunday). I didn't advance to training camp for a second attempt, and yes, that's hard to say because when you want something so deeply, it's hard to fall short,' she said. Indianna has been a cheerleader for the Manly Sea Eagles' Seabirds for 10 years. And her mother, Monique, is the director of the Seabirds. But the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders are next level. They have been the subject of a hit Netflix series (also called America's Sweethearts) and season 2 is set to be released in the coming days. Their routine to AC/DC's Thunderstruck is viral and universally popular. 'At this level you're up against the absolute best of the best, dancers who are not just technically excellent but dynamic, seasoned performers with the kind of all-round versatility – flips, tricks, and showmanship that this elite team demands,' Indianna said. 'Still, I walk away from this experience incredibly proud. I left everything I had on that field. I carried a little piece of Sydney with me to Dallas, Texas, and showed up wholeheartedly as myself. 'To be in that room, to be considered among the top 80 across the world, and to have represented where I'm from on such a world-class stage, that's something I will carry with pride forever. 'This journey teaches you to embrace your most vulnerable self, stand proud in a place that once felt impossible to reach and be proud of yourself regardless of the outcome. 'Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who believed in me and supported me throughout this journey. I'm not sure what next now, but I'm excited to find out.'

Tom Brady has been 'shaped' by his dad
Tom Brady strives to "live up to the example" set by his dad. The 47-year-old former NFL star celebrated Father's Day (15.06.25) by heaping praise on his own dad, Tom Sr. The sports star - who has Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12, with his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, as well as Jack, 17, with Bridget Moynahan - wrote on Instagram: "Happy Father's Day to my dad who taught me everything about what it means to be a father. And to all the Dads out there that who are great role models to their kids. My dad has always been my biggest supporter, my best friend, and my number one teacher not just in sports but in life. The values he passed on to our family - hard work, integrity, compassion, and unconditional love, shaped me in every way. Each day I try to live up to the example he set: to be present and to make sure my kids know how much I love and care about them. I'm grateful for every moment and it's a pleasure watching these three beautiful angels grow up! [heart emojis] (sic)" Tom and Gisele announced their split back in 2022, and the Super Bowl-winning star previously insisted that his children would be his number one priority moving forwards. Tom wrote on Instagram at the time: "In recent days, my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage. We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve. (sic)" Meanwhile, Gisele explained that the celebrity duo had simply "grown apart". The blonde beauty said: "The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always."

‘Raise a ruckus': Fiery Jane Fonda ends Aussie tour with a bang
Hollywood legend Jane Fonda has wrapped up her tour of Australia with a powerful message — she'll return, but first, she's heading back to the U.S. to 'raise a ruckus.' The 87-year-old Oscar-winning actress and outspoken activist captivated audiences in Sydney and Melbourne as part of the Wanderlust True North Series. In conversation with veteran journalist Liz Hayes at ICC Sydney on Sunday night, Fonda reflected on her film career, activism, and personal journey — offering a glimpse of what's next. 'I'm coming back,' she said, revealing she's already received an invitation to trek through the outback. 'I met a fantastic woman — I can't remember where — she said she'd hiked 26 miles, so I'm gonna come back and do it, and spend time with some Aboriginal women.' But as her whirlwind visit drew to a close, Fonda admitted it hadn't been easy watching events unfold back home. 'I love Australia, but it is very hard being here and looking at what is happening in my country, my city, my state,' she said. 'I go home tomorrow, and I'll just go home and raise a ruckus — it's hard to do it when you're not there.' That promise to 'raise a ruckus' wasn't just rhetoric. 'There's an oil well in Santa Barbara, California — in 2015 it leaked and spilled oil everywhere — they're trying to start it up again, so I might chain myself to that,' Fonda said, adding that she had been meeting with Greenpeace during her trip Down Under. At a previous event in Melbourne — rumoured to have earned her a $300,000 speaking fee — she gave a blistering critique of American politics. Known for her lifelong activism, Fonda didn't hold back, targeting former President Donald Trump with an expletive-laden tirade that stunned the crowd of over 1,000 attendees. 'F**k those neoliberals and fascists and people who don't move to love,' she said. 'We have to move to love and empathy.' Her call to action was fiery and unapologetic, as she warned that many working-class Americans would soon experience 'buyer's remorse' over their political choices. 'In the United States, 78 million people voted for Trump — not all of them MAGA,' Fonda said, explaining that many blue-collar voters had been failed by the Democratic Party. 'But people are hurting — men and women — and they're going to realise it.' This unwavering political voice is nothing new for Fonda. She first stirred controversy as an activist in the 1970s for her support of the Black Panthers, the Women's Movement, and the plight of Native Americans. Fonda's opposition to the Vietnam War and the U.S. government's involvement in it sparked huge backlash. After a controversial trip to North Vietnam in 1972, her critics slammed her with the moniker 'Hanoi Jane,' and some U.S. politicians even called for her to be tried on charges of treason. Asked on Sunday about the hatred directed toward her during that period, Fonda said being part of a 'movement' helped her endure. 'I was not alone — I was part of a posse that had my back. I knew that what I was doing was right... you just go through it. 'And then they die or go to jail, and you're left,' laughed Fonda. 'I'll outlive all those f******,' she said to an applauding audience. Fonda has since been arrested multiple times throughout her 80s for civil disobedience during climate rallies. 'It feels so good to be arrested,' she joked. Fonda's legacy is as layered as it is iconic. The daughter of Oscar-winning actor Henry Fonda and sister to the late Peter Fonda, she's known for roles in classics like Barefoot in the Park, Barbarella, 9 to 5, On Golden Pond, and Monster-in-Law. Some of her most acclaimed work came in films with powerful social messages, such as They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, Klute, and Coming Home — the latter two earning her Academy Awards for Best Actress. She's also picked up seven Golden Globes, two BAFTAs, an Emmy for her work in the Netflix series Grace and Frankie, and nominations for both a Grammy and a Tony. Earlier this year, she was honoured with the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award, delivering a rousing speech urging empathy in politically divisive times. From Hollywood screens to protest lines, Jane Fonda remains a powerhouse of passion, purpose, and provocation — and if her time in Australia is any indication, she's not slowing down anytime soon. But what's the octogenarian most proud of? 'If your early childhood is traumatic, you put an armour around your heart,' explained Fonda, who has spoken at length about losing her mother to suicide at age 12, and her often emotionally distant relationship with her father. 'It's hard to get rid of that armour — it takes a lot of work. 'The armour is beginning to fall away and my heart is beginning to soften — that's what I'm proud of.'
