INDIA’S GLOBAL SUPERSTAR, DILJIT DOSANJH, BRINGS EPIC ‘AURA’ TOUR TO AUSTRALIAN STADIUMS THIS YEAR
Global superstar Diljit Dosanjh is set to make history once again.
Following record-breaking runs across North America, Europe, the UK, and India, the music icon will bring his epic new tour, AURA 2025 to Australia and New Zealand this October and November — becoming the first Indian artist in history to headline stadiums in Australia with two massive shows at CommBank Stadium (Sydney) and AAMI Park (Melbourne).
Returning to Brisbane by popular demand, Dosanjh will also perform in Adelaide and Perth for the very first time, expanding his legacy and solidifying his place as one of the most successful Indian artists to ever perform internationally.
After thrilling Australian fans in 2023 with his Born To Shine tour, which sold over 50,000 tickets and set new records for Indian performers in the region, AURA 2025 promises to be his biggest, boldest and most explosive tour yet with next-level production and visuals and a new set-list packed with fan favourites and new anthems.
The tour will kick off on Sunday 26 October in Sydney, before heading to Brisbane (Wednesday 29 October), Melbourne (Saturday 1 November), Adelaide (Wednesday 5 November), Perth (Sunday 9 November), and concluding in Auckland (Thursday 13 November).
Speaking about the Australian and New Zealand tour, Diljit said:
“The energy that fans in Australia and New Zealand brought to my last tour was unforgettable. My fans’ immense love is the reason I’m coming back with stadium shows in Sydney and Melbourne, and we’ve added Adelaide and Perth so I can celebrate with even more of them. This tour is for the fans — but it’s also about celebrating Indian music on a global stage and sharing our culture with the world”

Known for his razor-sharp productions, genre-bending fusion of Punjabi tradition with global sounds, and an electrifying live presence, Diljit Dosanjh has redefined what it means to be a South Asian artist on the world stage.
With chart-topping hits like G.O.A.T (328M+ views), Do You Know (294M+ views), and Proper Patola(416M+ views), and appearances at the Coachella, the Met Gala, Billboard Summit, and a historic Apple Music Studios broadcast in Los Angeles, Diljit is not just breaking barriers — he’s rewriting the global music playbook.
A multi-faceted performer blending traditional Punjabi styles with modern, Western and urban influences, Diljit has also made waves in cinema, starring in some of the highest-grossing Punjabi films of all timeand the Netflix 2024 film Amar Singh Chamkila, which trended worldwide and earned critical acclaim.

NEW WORLD ARTISTS WELCOMES ‘PURPLE DISTURBANCE’ TO ITS EXCLUSIVE AGENCY ROSTER
From the team that’s raised some of Australia’s most iconic cutting-edge artists — including Silverchair, Grinspoon, Mallrat, Sneaky Sound System, SOFIA ISELLA, Redhook, Ocean Sleeper, IXARAS, Ennaria, and Ninajirachi — New World Artists is proud to announce the signing of Purple Disturbance, the razor-sharp post-punk/alt-rock four-piece from New South Wales.
Fresh out of high school but road-tested and ready, Purple Disturbance are raw, fearless and unapologetic — tackling small-town truths and big city chaos with riffs that bite and hooks that don’t let go. The ‘Disturbances’ high-voltage live show has already seen them share stages with the likes of Grinspoon, Frenzal Rhomb, Dune Rats, The Screaming Jets, Beddy Rays, Goons Of Doom and Private Function, and the road ahead looks just as exciting.
Purple Disturbance is; Thomas Downes: Vocalist, Jed Freudenstein: Guitarist, Joshua Downes: Bass, Jessica Franklin: Drums
Lead singer Thom channels the spirit of a young Jim Morrison and the frenetic energy of Iggy Pop, his vocal swagger riding over a rhythm section that hits with the force of a freight train. Brother Josh locks down the low end with driving bass lines. Jess unleashes drums with Keith Moon–like zeal, and Jed’s gritty Gretsch cuts through it all with raw precision. The result is a sound that tips its hat to The Ramones and IDLES yet remains unmistakably their own — urgent, electrifying punk delivered with explosive energy.
The band’s current single, Criticise, Penalise, Attack and Slam (CPAS) released by Anti Dismal Records, has already been added to numerous iTunes editorial playlists and over 52 Spotify playlists, with two Purple Disturbance tracks making the soundtrack of DUNNO, a surf film by Rip Curl – proving their tracks hit hard both on stage and in headphones.
“We proudly welcome the raw, uncompromised and youthful energy of Purple Disturbance to our roster. As a band they embody the true spirit of punk – D.I.Y., unapologetic and ready to ignite the music scene and the touring circuit!
This band is bringing both the fire and the fury of punk back to the forefront and there’s never been a more appropriate time. We’re excited to be a part of their trajectory.” New World Artists said.
This spring, brace yourselves as Purple Disturbance join British India, You Am I, The Screaming Jets, Grinspoon and many more on tour. Expect sweat, volume and zero restraint! Get ready to lose your mind…

TILLY FENTON SHARES PUNCHY NEW SINGLE + VIDEO ‘IT’S YOU!’ DEBUT EP ‘IT’S A FEELING THAT I KNOW’ SET FOR RELEASE OCTOBER 10
A sparkling new chapter is imminent for Melbourne/Naarm indie pop artist Tilly Fenton, with a punchy new single It’s You! out in the world today, and the announcement of her anticipated debut EP it’s a feeling that i know set for release on October 10.
Playful, effervescent and with some charmingly gritty rock edges around the gloss within, It’s You! showcases Tilly’s expansive nuance as a songwriter, capturing her cheeky, fun side while also embracing some iconic pop icons and a soundtrack-inspired modus operandi for the end result. “Olivia Rodrigo’s music definitely had a huge influence on the sound for this song,” shares Tilly. “Ever since her first album came out, I had always wanted to write a super upbeat, angsty and playful pop rock song after hearing ‘good 4 u’ for the first time when I was in high school. It feels pretty full circle considering this was the music I was listening to, while I was going through the experiences that inspired It’s You! Another artist that shaped the sound of this song was Hannah Montana and the early Miley Cyrus music. I was so obsessed with the Hannah TV show and movie growing up, so a lot of the music from it was engraved in my brain from a very young age. I had always wanted to write a guitar driven song with punchy hooks and confident, cheeky lyrics, so I definitely channelled my inner Hannah for It’s You!”
Marking an exciting step closer to the release of her first-ever EP, It’s You! also balances its upbeat stylings with relatable and immersive storytelling, with Tilly delivering an empowering ode to standing up for yourself on her latest track, as she elaborates, “It’s You! is about that one person who really gets under your skin. It’s a love letter to the kind of people who twist things, make you question yourself, and somehow turn you into the villain. It’s that moment you stop biting your tongue and finally say what you should’ve said ages ago, with just the right amount of pettiness “my co-star said you’re hurt because you picked a fight with your best friend”. It’s playful, dramatic and weirdly healing screaming “it’s not me, it’s you!”
Initially penning It’s You! during a session with Anna Laverty (Lady Gaga, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), Tilly sought to write “a vengeful yet cathartic song”, with the pair brainstorming lyrics that ultimately led to a discussion of the common saying: “it’s not you, it’s me”. “I thought it would be fun to reword it to “it’s not me, it’s you”,” Tilly explains. “I then brought this song to my producer Michael Belsar and my drummer Ben Ellingworth and started the recording process, and we all had so much fun experimenting with different sounds. Michael and I then spent more time on the song, and it continued to evolve into what it is today.”
Mixed by Michael Belsar and mastered by Dale Becker, the accompanying music video for It’s You! saw Tilly work alongside Jesse Richards, who returned after working on Tilly’s previous live video for The Secret, with the brand new clip bringing It’s You!’s underlying message to life via a live performance, mirroring the dramatic yet liberating themes. “The video for It’s You! is a live performance we shot in an empty theatre,” shares Tilly. “The concept came from the idea of performing to no one but yourself. There is something really dramatic but also freeing performing a song like “It’s You!” in that kind of space. It’s kind of like dancing in your bedroom when no one is watching. I have had a vision to do a music video in a theatre for so long and I think it’s so perfect that I ended up doing it for this song!”
Sitting as the energetic closing moment for the broader five-track EP it’s a feeling that i know, It’s You! powerfully concludes the EP’s oscillating moods and moments. Opening with pillowy-soft introspection with The Secret, Tilly’s dulcet vocals float over serene instrumentals and vulnerable lyricism. The percolating bliss of the EP’s midway point, Valentine, dazzles in driving rhythms and dreamy hooks, and It’s You! concludes on a grittier yet jubilant note, with the entire EP resoundingly reflecting Tilly’s ultimate mission statement. “This EP is a very coming of age story,” says Tilly. “I wrote these songs while I was navigating all the confusing, emotional, and overwhelming moments that come with growing up, especially in your teenage years. They’re honest and vulnerable, but always with a sense of hope that everything is going to be ok. I hope that these songs offer comfort and remind people they’re not alone in what they’re feeling and allow them to find joy in the chaos.”
Starting her musical journey back in 2023, Tilly Fenton has spent the past few years crafting her debut EP, working alongside renowned producers and songwriters Anna Laverty and Michael Belsar, while also channelling inspiration from Lizzy McAlpine, Gracie Abrams and Phoebe Bridgers into her own unique sound. An artist capable of balancing vulnerability with strength, Tilly is one of the rare few who can imbue the emotional complexity of growing up and navigating relationships through a mature lens far beyond her 22 years, with her debut single The Secret and Valentine already captivating listeners along the way, and the latter also featured on The Hot Hits with Nic and Loren on the HIT Network.
Earlier this year, Tilly also ticked off another massive first: completely selling out her first headline show at The Bergy Bandroom, with more live performances slated for later this year to launch her brand new EP which has been many worthwhile years in the making. “Performing live is one of my favourite parts of making music,” shares Tilly. “There’s something so special about feeling the energy in a room, connecting with people in real life, and sharing that moment together. Fans can expect a fun, high-energy show where we dance our hearts out, mixed with intimate acoustic moments for some of my slower songs.”
It’s You! Is out today.
