GOSSLING
Fresh from her main stage performance at Falls Festival and jam-packed Big Top appearance at Southbound, Gossling (aka Helen Croome) has revealed plans for her new single, EP and several live performances in the coming months.
Following the success of Gossling's second EP "Until Then" and focus track 'I Was Young', Gossling is set to dominate the airwaves once again this Summer with new single 'Wild Love'. Co-written with Dann Hume (Evermore, Lisa Mitchell), 'Wild Love' will be unleashed on February 13. The irresistibly catchy track is lifted from Gossling's third EP, "Intentional Living" which is slated for an April 20 release.
Recently Gossling has captured a whole new audience with the inclusion of her song 'Hazard' (from her debut EP "If You Can't Whistle") on hit FX show American Horror Story and also via her collaboration with 360 on the platinum selling, ARIA chart hit 'Boys Like You'. She will join 360 for many of his sold out shows on the current single tour.
In addition to the already announced appearance at Cool Summer Festival and main support slot for Adam Cohen's national tour, Gossling joins the stellar line up at this years Port Fairy Folk Festival and will embark on her own headline tour at the end of April.
Make sure you check Gossling out soon- she is destined to be your favourite singer (if she is not already).

Live Nation Entertainment and Michael Coppel present
LADY GAGA
The Born This Way Ball
5-time Grammy Award winner LADY GAGA is set to make her triumphant return to the stage with her Born This Way Ball. In this brand new tour, Gaga will perform her latest album Born This Way as well as music from both The Fame and The Fame Monster. The Born This Way Ball, produced globally by Live Nation, will begin on April 27th, 2012 in Seoul, South Korea, and will travel the globe including cities that Gaga has never played before.
Lady Gaga's last tour - The Monster Ball - captivated audiences around the globe, receiving rave reviews in every city. The Sun called it "the best live show you will see this year," and the Pollstar Concert Industry Awards named it the Major Tour of the Year.
"The Haus of Gaga and I have worked for months conceiving a spectacular stage," said Mother Monster.
"THE BORN THIS WAY BALL is an Electro-Metal Pop-Opera; the tale of the Beginning, the genesis of
the Kingdom of Fame. How we were birthed and how we will die celebrating."
The Born This Way Ball will be Lady Gaga's first tour since the release of her album Born This Way (Streamline/Konlive/Interscope), which has sold nearly 6 million copies worldwide since its release in May 2011. The album is the follow-up to back-to-back Grammy Award-winning albums 2009's The Fame
Monster, and 2008's The Fame. Combined, The Fame and The Fame Monster have sold 15 million
albums worldwide, while Lady Gaga's hit singles have combined sales of over 65 million worldwide.
Gaga was named Forbes' Most Powerful Woman in the World 2011 and was included in Time's annual
"The 2010 Time 100" list of the most influential people in the world. With over 2.2 billion combined views of all her videos online, Lady Gaga is one of the biggest living people on Facebook with over 47 million 'likes' and is #1 on Twitter with nearly 19 million followers. Lady Gaga is the only artist in the digital era to top the 5 million sales mark with her first two hits.
Tickets for The Born This Way Ball go on sale for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth & Auckland
beginning Friday February 17, 9am sharp, at livenation.com.au.
Advance tickets will be available to Visa Credit, Debit and Prepaid cardholders from 9.00am (local time),
Monday 13th February 2012 until 5.00pm (local time), Wednesday 15th February 2012 or until presale
tickets sell out at www.visaentertainment.com.au.
Yacht Club DJs Tickets & Info
We made it through the start of 2012 with no zombies, but mash-up maestros Yacht Club DJs are about to give a dose of '50s horror! --
YACHT CLUB DJS
"They Mostly Come At Night... Mostly" Tour
We made it through the apocalyptic start to 2012 with no zombie sightings, but Australia's own mash-up maestros Yacht Club DJs are about to make sure 2012 gets a dose of '50s horror throughout March and April when they hit the road on the "They Mostly Come At Night... Mostly" tour.
Frightening both capital cities and regional towns, including Toowoomba, Byron Bay, Gold Coast, Geelong, Ballarat, Hobart, Wollongong, Canberra and Newcastle, Yacht Club DJs take to the stage with their take on a B Grade Horror flick - Zombies, fake blood, plus lots of dancing and, as always, nudity. Their first national tour since 2010, Australia best be wary of what they've got in store.
Ballarat's Guy Chappell-Lawrence and Gareth (Gaz) Harrison better known as the Yacht Club DJs will take their on-stage antics to the next level preparing to let night terrors loose on Australia.
Guy and Gaz - good friends from mingling at the local - found their common ground in their eclectic and diverse taste of music including pop, hardcore and hip-hop plus a little bit of Australian larrikin. Bonding over how they spent their childhood compiling long lists of songs that would get the party started, they began DJing to their friends as residents of Karova Lounge in Ballarat. But it didn't stop there.
They've played parties all over Australia to more than just their friends, named on many festival bills including Meredith Music Festival, Splendour In The Grass, Parklife, Falls Festival, Field Day and Groovin' In The Moo.
The Yacht Club DJs take on the mash-up genre and their explosive concoction of classic pop, metal, theme songs and anything in-between is a testament to their knowledge of back catalogues as well as Guy's constant desire to forage the Internet for hidden gems to get the crowd moving.
Adding to the horror party will be the Yacht Club DJs hometown friends, Hunting Grounds. The six-piece with a
rambunctious attitude, will rival the Yacht Club DJs as to who can turn the dance floor into a riot.
Hunting Grounds took out the crown of 2009 triple j Unearthed High winner and have since moved on from playing in the Ballarat High School hall to national support slots of The Living End, Children Collide and the Philly Jays. The hyperactive energy and frenetic sounds of Hunting Grounds will prepare the crowd for the ramshackle set of Yacht Club DJs.
Making it a night to dismember the Yacht Club DJs and Hunting Grounds will show the crowd how debauchery and
disruption is done.
Hyro Da Hero Tickets & Tour Info HYRO DA HERO is flipping rap upside down, inside out and all around with a rock 'n' roll attitude and explosive rapping! --
Soundwave Touring presents
HYRO DA HERO
"HYRO DA HERO is an undoubted star in the waiting" - Kerrang!
"Traditional rap fare bumps against raging Bad Brains-esque hardcore with a power few are currently harnessing" - 4/5 Rolling Stone
There are cycles in everything. Seasons come and go. Trends pop and deflate. Careers rise and fall. Genres of music live and die. Once in a while, an artist steps up who doesn't quite follow the cycle. He doesn't pay heed to "What's cool." He doesn't give a shit about "Who's hot." He doesn't follow the zeitgeist but, rather, the zeitgeist follows him.
HYRO DA HERO is about to flip rap upside down, inside out and all around loading rock 'n' roll attitude into explosive, engaging and enthralling rap music resembling Nas fronting Rage Against The Machine. This is evident on HYRO DA HERO's debut album 'Birth, School, Work, Death' with Rock Sound calling it "groundbreaking for any genre" and Blunt magazine touting the tracks "generational anthems".
However there is nothing quite like seeing HYRO DA HERO live, an enigmatic performer with a fiery live show "It all really goes down on stage. You need to hear and see this live." - HYRO DA HERO.

GROOVIN THE MOO
Rich feathers... precious stones. The Groovin' the Moo (GTM) cosmogram returns in 2012. With the milestone of a record ten international Artists alongside local essentials coming together for
Australia's only touring regional event, the scene has been set for a ritual of musical and
communal expression. From City and Colour, Kaiser Chiefs to Public Enemy and more, this will be one fun techni-colour spectrum of artist-all-sorts handpicked for GTM fans to enjoy this May.
Now in its eighth percussive year, the GTM tribe of 75,000 strong across the land will hold up the sky for another gathering culminating in a happiness explosion of epic proportions. Sporting head
dress and holding talisman, White Eagle Desert Dweller aka Stephen Halpin (GTM Promoter,
Cattleyard Promotions) relayed in anticipation, "I'm really excited about this lineup. So many fresh
locals, festival favourites and breaking internationals to keep the outdoor stages rocking and the
Moolin Rouge banging. Looking forward to checking out Chiddy Bang, plus Mutemath and The Maccabees who are making their first tours of Australia. I'm sure everyone will give them a friendly GTM welcome."
With a history of sell-out events, in 2012 the five shows will again be ready to cater for all ages, as
well as being licensed (recommend 16+). GTM is excited. In exchange for a single joyous day with
its much missed sidekicks, a sacrifice of rich musical and culinary offerings will be put forth to
satiate the clan's eyes, ears and bellies. Twenty five artists will be presented ceremoniously on a
double outdoor stage and by the voodoo glow of the Moolin Rouge Big Top tent before those who
have astral plane travelled, caught magic carpet train or bus from interstate, country town, regional
centre and city. For those who are ready, with a ticket price at under $100 (or two pineapples,
rather), cometh with your tribe. It's time to partake in a day where we give, receive, beam and
shake.

Closing the curtain on a career spanning 20 years, doom metal legends CATHEDRAL announce their last ever headline shows! --
Soundwave Touring presents
CATHEDRAL
with Paradise Lost and Turisas
Closing the curtain on a stellar career spanning two decades, doom metal legends CATHEDRAL announce their last ever headline shows as part of two exclusive sidewaves in Sydney and Melbourne, giving Australian fans an opportunity to be a part of metal history.
Twenty years, in which they've proved themselves to be a band who not only transcend metal, but all or any genre classifications one might attempt to restrict them within. Yet far beyond all expectations, their ninth album, 'The Guessing Game' is their boldest outing and is "a collection of timeless tracks that could easily span the decades" - Rock Sound
CATHEDRAL's legacy will well and truly continue, with the band releasing their final studio album 'The Last Spire' in 2012 an expression of gratitude to their cult following.
PARADISE LOST have pioneered gothic metal. Their desire to evolve and stay ahead of musical trends continues with their latest effort 'Faith Divides Us Death Unites Us' "a record of epic beauty with so many moments of genius" - Rock Sound.
Get ready for battle! One of the most exciting live bands in the world; Finland's battle metal masters TURISAS, is once again setting course for Australia.
TURISAS's blistering live shows are etched in metal folklore so don't miss the opportunity to witness one of the "artists of the decade" - Terrorizer
