360 Announces More Australian Regional Dates for 2024

by Paul Cashmere on December 14, 2023

Aussie rapper 360 will be back on the road for 2024 with dates in NSW, Tasmania and Western Australia revealed this week.

360 is heading out for the Back To Life Regional Tour Part 2 with some suburban, regional and country shows across March and April 2024.

360 said in a statement, “Part 1 was so good, though I’m not going to lie, after the first tour in June I was nervous because I felt so rusty still. I had to shake off a lot of cobwebs and it got in my head a bit, I felt stiff, I struggled loosening up and having fun performing. But this tour – that feeling has completely gone, thankfully. Now I’ve been just vibing with the music, having fun and feeling like I used to back in the day. It’s taken a lot of work to get here, but it’s so good to be back.”

360 recently (w)rapped up part one of the tour in Wollongong on 25 November 2023.

360 ANNOUNCES PART 1 OF HIS BACK TO LIFE REGIONAL TOUR & SHARES NEW TRACK

Back and more potent than ever, beloved Australian rapper 360 is set to bring his electrifying stage presence and extensive touring chops to regional Australia this November for Part 1 of his 12 date Back To Life regional tour. Following the fully sold out first official run of shows in just under six years in June, 360’s extensive upcoming tour will kick off on Friday November 3 at Village Green Hotel in Mulgrave, before journeying through regional Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales and the ACT, with more dates to be announced for Part 2.

Levelling up today’s exciting tour news is the new freestyle track Most Wanted featuring 360’s signature flow and earnest yet playful storytelling, heralding the revered rapper’s welcome return. Performed as an unreleased track during his capital city Back To Life tour in June, Most Wanted finds 360 baring his soul over dark melodics and sparse, glossy tones. A sonically matured yet conceptually tongue-in-cheek outing, 360’s freestyle prowess is on full display both on the track and also via its accompanying music video, consisting solely of tour footage from his June performances. And it was on this tour earlier this year that 360, aka Matt Colwell, was able to not only reconnect with his creative soul and flourish in his natural habitat on stage; it also offered him a chance to trial touring in new ways that would ultimately place his health at the forefront, thus the decision to split Back To Life’s regional adventures into parts, as 360 elaborates, “As much as I love touring, it’s always been quite taxing both physically and mentally in the past. So, since returning after a long break, I made sure to put my health before anything else. I kept the last tour to 1-2 shows per week, which isn’t a lot at all, just to ease into it and dip my toes in so to speak and see how I went. All went well, so this time I’m upping it to 3 shows per week. This will be more gruelling so I decided to do a month of touring through November, have a month off through December and then finish off part 2 early next year, rather than doing them all back to back. I used to never care about my health and wellbeing, at least not like I do now. Now I follow a strict regime, I have to hit the gym for an intense workout on show days, I follow a strict routine before each show to warm up too. I could achieve more if I went all out doing 5 shows a week and fitting in as much travel as possible over multiple months, but for me that’s a quick way to burn out.”

An ARIA Award-winning, multi-platinum pioneer, 360 has never been one to do anything in halves, with the rapper swiftly cementing himself on the Australian scene via his 2008 debut album What You See Is What You Get, before the game-changing 2011 release Falling & Flying catapulted him into a whole new stratosphere. Hailed for its emotive weight, authenticity and genre-fluid finesse, Falling & Flying paved the way for 360’s continued domination with 2014’s Utopia and 2017’s Vintage Modern firmly sealing his legacy. But amongst his renowned battle rapping dexterity, searing creative innovation and collaborations, 360’s path has simultaneously been lined with mountains, from an accident in 2010 that almost upended the release of Falling & Flying to his battle with addiction and mental health issues in later years; all moments in time that ultimately helped guide and strengthen 360’s resolve, leading him to new music as well as his triumphant return to performing in 2023, as 360 explains, “When I was working on these new songs I was still recovering after going through an extremely dark period of my life. I was still fighting my way through the darkness, now I’m in a much better place. There’s been no real agenda with the music, it’s been more about focusing on myself and getting happy/healthy and just releasing whatever songs we make in that process. I’ve been loving that plan of attack, So I’ll keep that same thing going and we’ll see where it all ends up.”

Re-energised by his return to stage, 360 is primed to bring his exhilarating live show to regional Australia, with his Back To Life Part 1 tour guaranteed to satiate past, present and future fans of the magnetic rap maverick. Expect unapologetic and heartfelt storytelling from an artist who can tackle any style and make it his own. And, as 360 reveals, there are plenty more surprises lying in wait for fans across Australia starting this November: “It had been about 6 years since my last tour, so there were a few cobwebs to shake off but once it got going it was super fun to be back up there. I’m keen to see how the new songs go down in each town we play, to see what connects the most. Also, it will be nice to get out of the Melbourne cold for a bit! Expect a banging set chock full of new songs, old classics, mixtape bangers, forgotten bangers and more. I’ve got a few tricks up the sleeve that people won’t be expecting.”

Tickets to the Back To Life Regional Tour Part 1 are on sale from 10am AEST Tuesday August 29 from 360music.com.au.

The past few years have been extremely tough for people who work in music, and for many, continues to be so, so 360 is jumping in with Support Act on his Mulgrave, Frankston, Ipswich, Noosaville, Gladstone, Airlie Beach, Townsville and Cairns shows. Simply purchasing a ticket to these shows will result in a donation of $1 matched by a further $1 from Live at your Local being donated to music industry charity, Support Act. That’s $2 for every ticket sold going directly to Support Act and the amazing work they do with music workers, artists and crew.

Interview: Australian Rapper 360

Photo Credit. Blacklisted Visions

ARIA Award-winning Australian rapper 360 is set to hit stages across regional Australia this November for Part 1 of his 12 date Back To Life regional tour.

To find out more about the tour, opening for Eminem and the challenges of being a rapper Down Under we had the chance to chat with the man himself, who even told us a bit about the reasons behind his hilarious feud years ago with Short Stack.

SR. How good is it to be back on the road after these crazy years we had?! How are you getting ready for the regional tour? Any venue you are particularly excited to play?

It’s good to be back, I’m still not over the craziness of the last few years, they shook me up! I’m just focusing on my health, staying fit and making sure to keep my head in the game and stay that way. Touring can be really taxing but if I stay on top of my diet and exercise I’m good. There’s no specific venues I’m amped for, to be honest I’m just keen to hit these regional spots because it’s been so long since I have. Regional shows are always different to major cities, in the best way!

SR. You made a great come back earlier this year with “Made Me Like This”. The song has very interesting lyrics, there is anger in them, as if you are pointing a finger to somebody who hurt you in the past. Just wondering if there is any backstory behind the latest track you released.

There was and still is a lot of anger after the last few years, it really revealed a lot of people’s true colours. I didn’t like it at all, shaming people over choices they did or didn’t make is not the vibe, I’m just glad it’s past us now, hopefully we can get back to normal

SR. When can we expect a new 360 album?

At the moment I’m writing with no agenda except making dope music, when the songs start to feel right for an album then I’ll start working on it but for now I’m just feeling my way through it

SR. How challenging is to be a rapper in Australia?

My era of growing up rapping and this current era are so different. When I was young and started getting into rap and hip hop, no one was really into it and kids would always get to teasing if they found out you rapped or even listened to it. It wasn’t cool like it is now, now everyone and their dog is doing it. Back then you had to really love it and be obsessed with it, these days most kids are trying to rap so you’ve got a lot more competition. It’s over saturated so you really need something unique to stand out.

SR. You have always been very outspoken, and that’s one of the things everyone loves about you. Thinking on the music industry in general, what’s your take on the use of auto-tune by so many musicians out there? Do you think this is killing the industry as many others claim?

Nah I love it when it’s done tactfully, it really depends on the artist though. Some rappers wouldn’t be able to survive without it. To me, it’s like any other tool, it depends how you use it and the person using it, but it shouldn’t become the only tool in your arsenal.

Think of T-Pain, it became his signature sound, but he doesn’t need auto tune to be talented, the dude can sing with the best of them but at the time it made him stand out from the rest of the industry. I think it’s genius, but everything in moderation. Too much of it can get jarring.

SR. Who would you say are some of the best Rappers Down Under that people should check out?

There’s so many doing things now, my fav rapper in aus is prob Seth Sentry. He’s leagues above majority of mc’s here imo, but I may be bias. There’s some dope young lads coming through too, Mason Dane   and   drest   for example. The game is in a healthy place.

“…He’s (Eminem) the reason I started rapping, I saw him live for my first ever live rap concert at the rod laver arena for my 14th birthday…”

SR. Back in 2014 you supported Eminem in the US. How unreal was that? What are your most fond memories of that tour? Did you get to meet Eminem?

It was a huge, a massive bucket list moment. He’s the reason I started rapping, I saw him live for my first ever live rap concert at the rod laver arena for my 14th birthday. So, for everything to come 360 and I was on stage opening for him is mind blowing. We were under strict instructions not to approach him if we saw him, so I didn’t meet him. That’s okay though I’m not fussed over stuff like that. He’s on the level of fame on some MJ shit, so he has to step carefully wherever he goes.

SR. One of the funniest things we remember from you is that feud you had with Short Stack many years ago during the V Artist of the year awards, that you ended winning. How did that start? Have you made peace with Short Stack since then?

That shit makes me cringe to be honest. We have made peace indeed, though there was never any real beef, it was just me being a dickhead running my mouth, haha. To be young!

SR. Can you share with us any funny story while on the road?

There’s some I would love to share but are too R18+. There’s one story about how I got athletes foot while on the road with Seth and Pez, it was so nasty. If you’re ever interviewing Seth ask him about it for me!

SR. Finally, would you like to send a message to all your fans ahead of the regional tour?

After I had such a big break, I was so unsure of myself when I made my return, I didn’t know how things would go, I expected the worst, but you guys really showed up for me and reassured me that I can do this. I’m so appreciative of my fans, it’s so good to be back and welcomed with open arms.

There are no kangaroos in Austria.

We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in!

Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth.

The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party.

This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime , an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality.

Hotel evacuates 400 people after helicopter crashes into roof and sparks massive fireball: ‘sounded like a bomb’.

A man has died after a helicopter crashed into the roof of a Cairns hotel, sparking a massive fireball and the evacuation of up to 400 people.

Emergency services were called to the Double Tree Hotel by Hilton about 1:50 a.m. (local time) following reports a twin engine helicopter crashed into a roof.

The pilot and only occupant of the helicopter was declared dead at the scene, with forensic investigators working to formally identify him, police said.

The company that owns the helicopter reportedly said the flight was “unauthorized.”

“Nautilus Aviation are working closely with Queensland Police, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau and other authorities as they investigate the unauthorized use of one of our helicopters in the early hours of this morning,” the company said in a statement to the ABC.

“As we continue to fully support the ongoing investigation, we will not be making further comments at this time.”

The Courier-Mail earlier reported no flight plan had been created.

It remains unclear whether the pilot was an employee.

NewsWire has contacted Nautilus Aviation for further comment.

A bystander, Veronica Knight, said the helicopter was going incredibly fast before it crashed into the hotel.

“It seemed to come from the pier over there and straight down over the sea, straight, and it was going really, really fast. I thought, ‘wow, that doesn’t look right’,” she told Sunrise on Monday morning.

“It was pretty low, so I got … I was trying to video it, but it went too fast. And then it disappeared for about five to 10 minutes. Then I got a shock, it came back again.

“It was coming back along the sea again. And The Esplanade, and then all of a sudden it suddenly veered to the right.

“I just saw a big explosion and, like, huge fire and I thought, yeah, it’s just hit straight into the motel.”

A fire broke out on the roof of the hotel following the crash and up to 400 people were evacuated; however, no one on the ground suffered any injuries.

Paramedics earlier confirmed they were called to the scene just after 2 a.m. and assessed a male patient with life threatening injuries.

Another male in his 80s and a woman in her 70s were treated and taken to Cairns Hospital in a stable condition.

Seven reports the pair were staying in the room below the crash and were treated for shock.

Queensland Ambulance Service Far Northern Region senior operations supervisor Caitlin Dennings said witnesses had told her the incident “sounded like a bomb.”

“The helicopter impacted the roof of the hotel however two propellers have dislodged from the helicopter landing on the Cairns Esplanade, and there was a second propeller located in the hotel pool on the bottom floor,” she told The Cairns Post.

Police have advised the public to avoid the area.

An exclusion zone remains in place and includes The Esplanade and Minnie, Abbott and Florence streets.

‘Most demand ever’: Aussies pay up to $7k for wild tourism trend in Tornado Alley

Tourists are spending thousands of dollars to drive straight towards violent weather that others run from, and tour operators have never seen demand like it.

‘Dying’: Grave fears for future of famous city

‘Death island’ centre of WWII experiments

My eye-opening night at a Berlin sex club

Signing up for a tour that promises bad weather is a baffling concept to most – but more and more tourists are doing exactly that.

Adventure lovers and thrillseekers are heading to the US and paying thousands of dollars to drive straight into areas with the highest tornado risk.

And storm chasing tour operators in Tornado Alley tell news.com.au business has never been better thanks to the new film Twisters , a follow-up to the 1996 original Twister, which premiered last month.

Google search data obtained by news.com.au shows that search interest in Tornado Alley spiked 110 per cent in July compared to the month before. Australia was among the top three countries that were searching for the topic.

Tempest Tours, whose founder Martin Lisius was a technical adviser on the original Twister , told news.com.au it had sold out 2025 tours and opened 2026 bookings almost a year earlier than normal.

“It is the most demand I have ever seen having been with the company for 11 years, and I believe it is the most we have seen in our history,” Kim George, a storm chaser and the tour company’s guest relations manager, said.

While they have many return guests, she said this year the number of new guests had doubled – including new and return tourists from Australia signing up for 2025.

Erik Burns, a Texan who met his Australian wife after she signed up for one of his tours to chase tornadoes six years ago, told news.com.au the release of Twisters had definitely caused a boom in business for him too.

Tornadic Expeditions’ 2025 tour schedule has already sold out and they launched their 2026 schedule more than two months early to keep up with demand.

“Our 2026 tours are nearly 40 per cent booked in just a little over two weeks of being opened. Everything is at record pace. Mind blowing,” Mr Burns said.

He describes storm chasing as “the most fun road trip anyone could do” and says the tours attract people from all over the world.

“I have had kids who just graduated high school to retired NASA engineers,” he said.

Mr Burns argues there is no better way to see “Small Town America” and the North American Great Plains – a broad expanse of flat grasslands crossing five US states and two Canadian provinces – than on a storm chasing tour.

“Our guests get much more than storms on these trips. Sightseeing and travelling through many states allows seeing things and places that normal travellers would not see,” Mr Burns said.

“There is no reason for anyone to be in Thedford, Nebraska [population: 200] unless you’re storm chasing!”

Sydney tourist Dean Nye, who has been on four tours with the no-longer operational Cloud 9 Tours, describes storm chasing as “exhilarating”.

Speaking to news.com.au, he found it hard to put the experience into words.

“Just standing there and feeling the energy of the storm and realising the power of mother nature, and you feel it, you see it, you hear it – it’s very incredible,” he said.

Mr Nye went on his first storm chasing tour through America in 2010 and has been on another three trips since. It would have been five if the pandemic didn’t get in the way.

He estimates having seen about a dozen tornadoes.

Becoming a storm chaser

The obsession with storms runs deep for Mr Burns, who grew up in North Texas.

The US has the most tornadoes of any country in the world, and Texas has the most of any state.

The 38-year-old remembers drawing tornadoes on his school work long before he actually saw one.

When he was old enough to drive, he was determined to lay his eyes on a real-life tornado.

Mr Burns finally saw his first tornado as a young man in Anna-Westminster, Texas. It was an F3, which means a severe tornado resulting in severe damage, such as roofs being torn off well-constructed houses, trees uprooted and heavy cars lifted off the ground and thrown.

The date was May 9, 2006.

“That sparked an addiction for more. At this point, I have seen nearly 360 tornadoes. The addiction has not subsided,” he said.

“I am just glad I was able to turn it into a healthy addiction where it provides for me and my family now.”

Mr Burns was taking people out storm chasing years before he started a tour business in 2015, which is designed to still be an intimate experience with a limit of four guests per tour.

He said despite severe weather being common where he comes from, he is still met with fascination and disbelief when anyone asks what he does for a living.

“There are two reactions. That is awesome or you are crazy. There is no middle,” he said.

His love story with his wife, Emma Burns, could almost be plucked out of a movie itself.

The couple met when the Aussie signed up to the wait list for a Tornadic Expeditions tour and luckily got in when someone cancelled their seat. She had never been storm chasing before.

They spoke on Facebook for few a months and decided to go on a date just before the tour kicked off in May 2018. As they say, the rest was history.

“We saw I think around 10 tornadoes together our first time chasing together,” Mr Burns said.

“She went back home after the tour and told her parents ‘I am gonna marry that man’. Fast forward to September of 2018 and in the middle of the Coral Sea, I asked her to marry me. Now we have been married for almost five years and have five kids.”

The couple don’t get to chase together anymore as much as they would like, but say they treasure the times they do.

Real-life tornado chasers

Many Aussies leaving the cinema after Twisters have been left wondering how far-fetched the suspenseful disaster film actually is.

Erik Burns from Tornadic Expeditions and Kim George from Tempest Tours both had positive things to say about the accuracy of the terminology, some of the storm chaser characters, and the look of the tornadoes and storm structures on screen.

However, they warn there is a lot less action in real life.

Mr Burns estimates storm chasing is about 90 per cent driving 10 per cent action.

“Real chasing is certainly exciting and fun but there is for sure some patience involved,” he warns.

“Some days things are just nuts like the movies where there are just tornadoes everywhere all day but that doesn’t happen very often.”

And answering the question on every movie watchers lips: “Nobody is shooting fireworks into tornadoes and anchoring their truck into the ground with augers. Not yet anyway!”

Ms George added that while storm chasing groups do congregate at small town petrol stations at times, unlike the movie, they do not sell things. So you won’t find any “tornado wranglers” like Tyler Owens (played by Glenn Powell) selling T-shirts or mugs with their face along the way, but you will likely get a team shirt to wear on your tour.

“We would not be driving into a farm field and tearing it up,” Ms George confirmed, referring to another common act in the film.

“We are respectful of other people’s property. We, safely, look at the severe storms and tornadoes and don’t drive into them.”

She said not all tornadoes are as clear as seen in the movie but when they do get a good one at just the right light “it’s much better than you see on the movie screen”.

“CG [computer graphics] just cannot compare to the real thing,” she said.

What it is like being a storm chasing tourist

The cost of storm chasing tours depend on how many days you go for, but 10 day tours can cost up to about $7000, while you can get shorter 5-day tours for less than $4000.

Aussie tourist Dean Nye only recalls being nervous one time across his four tours between 2010 and 2018.

It was on his final chase day in 2013 after chasing storms every day for two weeks, which is “quite unusual”.

“We were caught in a bunch of massive storms moving through Oklahoma and they had told Oklahoma City to, not really evacuate, but were like ‘get out of the city if you can, head out of the city, head south’ and we were caught in all that traffic, then these storms shifted,” he said.

“Things got quite sort of dicey because you’re on these highways that are quite clogged, and there were a lot of dangerous storms moving through. I think there were quite a few accidents on the roads.”

There were two tours in 2011 and 2018 where he saw no tornadoes, but he is confident it was still money well spent.

“Weather is so unpredictable, and it’s a gamble you have to take … but it’s still cool because you see amazing storms, great structures and photogenic lightning shows, and get caught in a few big hail storms,” he said.

He described witnessing a tornado as “the icing on the cake”.

Mr Nye said one of the best parts about storm chasing is seeing beautiful parts of America and tiny towns he never would have visited otherwise.

More Coverage

On one tour, he travelled from North Dakota, up near Canada, to Texas, and down near Mexico.

One thing he says is incredibly important about entering these communities during a tour is to be respectful and not show insensitive excitement.

“At the end of the day, the thing we’re trying to find and chase and photograph and experience is what people over there are preparing to take shelter from,” he said.

Locals are at their wits’ end when it comes to a huge problem facing this famous city and they fear it could see the end of it.

A mysterious island with a dark history has been deemed too dangerous for anyone to visit for one horrifying reason.

Taylor Swift cancels Vienna Eras tour concerts after two arrested in alleged terror plot

Taylor Swift 's three Eras Tour concerts in Vienna were canceled after government officials confirmed a planned terrorist attack at Ernst Happel Stadium, the local concert promoter announced Wednesday.

The security situation was very serious and a tragedy was averted, Austria's Chancellor Karl Nehammer wrote in a social media post .

"We have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety," said Barracuda Music, the promoter for the Austrian shows. "All tickets will be automatically refunded within the next 10 business days."

Swift had been set to perform in Vienna on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Earlier Wednesday, Vienna Federal Ministry of the Interior officials confirmed the arrest of two individuals who are "suspected of having planned attacks at major events," including Swift's concerts.

Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle.

"During our investigations, we identified preparatory actions and noted that the 19-year-old suspect had a particular focus on the Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna," said Franz Ruf, director general for public security. He alleged that the suspect, an Austrian citizen, had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.

Another suspect was later arrested in Vienna. Police searched the residence of one of the suspects in Ternitz, Lower Austria, and were analyzing items from the home. Local media, citing police sources, said three suspects were still on the run.

Taylor Swift terrorist threat suspect confessed he intended to kill fans: Officials

"The cancellation of the Taylor Swift concerts by the organizers is a bitter disappointment for all fans in Austria," Nehammer wrote in an X post translated by the social media site.

He thanked emergency services that are investigating at "full speed."

'Making sure that her fans are kept safe'

Officials initially said police would increase security measures at the shows, but the performances were ultimately called off. Swift has performed 126 Eras Tour concerts so far, and these are her first cancellations. Other dates have been postponed due to weather.

This isn't the first time a concert has become a target. In 2017, a suicide bomber killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. The brothers responsible for the attack wanted to "advance the ideology of Islam," according to the judge who sentenced the surviving sibling.

“It’s a choice you never want to make, but she would have a really good rapport with the local police and government agencies,” says Andrea Davis, the president and CEO of the  Resiliency Initiative , a global consulting company focused on crisis management and risk mitigation planning. “These were credible threats, and it was the right thing to do. She has a pattern of making sure that her fans are kept safe.”

In fact, Swift confessed in Elle magazine in 2019 ahead of her Reputation Stadium Tour that her biggest fear concerns her fans' safety.

"After the Manchester Arena bombing and the Vegas concert shooting , I was completely terrified to go on tour this time because I didn’t know how we were going to keep 3 million fans safe over seven months," she wrote. "There was a tremendous amount of planning, expense, and effort put into keeping my fans safe."

Swift's only remaining European tour dates are five nights at Wembley Stadium in London from Aug. 15-20. She then returns to North America in October before wrapping up the Eras Tour in December.

Taylor Swift fans react: 'It's really devastating'

It's not uncommon for Swift's fans to cross oceans to see her perform , and many ticketholders are heartbroken over the cancellations.

Emily Reyes drove with her boyfriend John Bechtel and his sister Hannah Bechtel from Greenville, South Carolina, to Charlotte, North Carolina. "We paid for parking and we had just gotten around to our gate when I saw that all the Vienna shows had been canceled," Reyes, 23, says.

In April, she got three tickets to a Vienna show because it was cheaper than Swift's fall shows in Miami, and she wanted to surprise her sister-in-law. She made a custom "Reputation" catsuit to wear Saturday night.

"A lot of people are traveling for these shows, and it's really devastating," she says. "I wish that they could have rescheduled and just had a really high security to check everything and all belongings — even if that means clear bags and getting patted down and going through metal detectors."

Around 65,000 people were expected to attend each night as well as up to 15,000 people outside the stadium without tickets, which fed security concerns.

Other Swifties took to social media to share their disappointment over the jarring development.

• “Sitting in a Vienna hotel room processing the fact that the Taylor Swift concert I've been looking forward to for a year, that I flew halfway around the world for, has just been cancelled,” @wordnerd212 wrote on X.
• “Good job I’m not currently sat on a plane to Vienna for Taylor Swift… oh wait,” X user @carleypagett wrote.
• “We were meant to go and see Taylor Swift in Vienna tomorrow night,” @jessiblah wrote on X. “We were just saying we would start to make our friendship bracelets, I had packed the beads in my case. I’m heartbroken.”
• “I am devastated. For over a year I looked forward to this,” X user @Natascha_Strobl wrote. “I made all the bracelets. Taylor Swift in my home city. And now it’s not happening. I have no words. She will never come to Vienna again. That‘s just it. This meant so much. I so wanted to go this concert.”
• “I will need 3-5 business years to recover emotionally from Taylor Swift‘s shows being cancelled in Vienna,” @DJChenks wrote on X.

First cancellations of the Eras Tour

Of Swift’s 126 Eras Tour concerts, she has postponed two shows, delayed a show and canceled two opening acts due to weather.

In Nashville on May 7, a torrential downpour delayed the concert by four hours. Swift didn’t wrap until 1:30 a.m. On July 1, Gracie Abram’s opening set in Cincinnati was canceled after heavy rain delays. Swift brought Abrams out for a duet during her surprise set. In Buenos Aires, Swift pushed back her Oct. 10 show to Oct. 12 after heavy rain fell on the Argentinian capital.

"I love a rain show but I’m never going to endanger my fans or my fellow performers and crew,"  she wrote on X , formerly Twitter.

A week later in Rio de Janeiro, she moved her Nov. 18 concert to Nov. 20 because of sweltering temperatures, one day after a fan died at her show.

On Feb. 23, Sabrina Carpenter’s opening set was canceled in Sydney due to lightning.

Tickets to be refunded for Taylor Swift's Vienna shows

For fans with resale tickets through StubHub, the company says it will provide buyers with a 120% voucher toward another purchase. “Buyers who prefer a 100% cash refund can make the request directly in their StubHub wallet,” the site said Wednesday in a statement.

Barracuda Music, the Austrian tour promoter, posted that fans can expect full refunds within 10 business days and can get updates at https://www.oeticket.com/help/updates/ .

Second violent incident involving Taylor Swift fans

This is the second Swift-related violent incident in just over a week.

On July 29,  three children — ages 9, 7 and 6 — died after a mass stabbing  that injured 10 others in Southport, U.K., during a Taylor Swift-themed class meant for children.

Swif t spoke out on the incident  the day after the attack, saying she was "at a complete loss."

"The horror of yesterday's attack is washing over me continuously and I’m just completely in shock," she wrote on her  Instagram story .

An 18-year-old has been charged, and a wave of false messaging online that wrongly identified the suspect as an Islamist migrant triggered days of rioting. More than 140 people have been charged in relation to that violence.

Chit Chat: Drag Race winner Jimbo on how clowns can handle anything, and the 'car crash' that is JoJo Siwa

In a cackle of drag queens, Jimbo stands out. 

First introduced on reality show Canada's Drag Race in 2020, Jimbo immediately became a fan favourite for her off-kilter collision of clowning and drag, resulting in wonderfully wacky, hyper-feminine and divisive characters.

Wowing the world, Jimbo (James Isnell) has since returned twice to the gladiator ring of RuPaul's Drag Race, representing Canada on UK vs the World before last year winning All Stars season eight. 

Highlights include throwing baloney at RuPaul while dressed in latex as a pregnant ghost named Casper, her equally filthy impressions of Joan Rivers and Shirley Temple, and outfits that can only be described as physics-defying.

Now in Australia touring her Drag Circus — an adults-only "variety-adventure" that incorporates Casper, Shirley, Joan and more — Jimbo sat down with ABC Entertainment to talk about her tour, TikTok habits and the only person odder than her: Nicolas Cage.

What was the last thing that made you laugh online?

It was probably this clip of JoJo Siwa's newest dance that she did, where someone turned down the music and added a lot of stomping, breathing and clapping to make it even more ridiculous. 

What do you make of JoJo's movements? To me, it feels like she's kind of approaching a new art form.

Oh my God. You know, I love seeing people out there doing their thing. I think she is just trying really hard. 

You can sense when an artist or a performer is coming from an authentic place and point of view. [With JoJo] it all feels a bit staged, it doesn't necessarily feel 100 per cent authentic. 

But also, I'm a little obsessed with child stars and people that were raised in stardom. They always end up a bit weird or different because of their circumstance.

She's a product of her whole life being a performer. At the same time, I feel kind of bad for her. I also think she's awesome for being herself and being out there. It's a weird one, like a car crash.

What was the last photo you took with your phone, and can we see it?

This is us [Jimbo and husband Brady Taylor] last night up at the Sydney Eye Tower overlooking Sydney — and before that, this is all of our luggage to come on tour. Twenty-five bags.

Wow. When you're travelling with that much stuff, surely something goes missing occasionally?

Luckily, it hasn't. We only have one of everything, and everything is important because we had to pare down the show to that. Twenty-five bags is just the essentials. We can't lose anything.

It's pretty crazy. If that happens, you're kind of screwed. But luckily, I'm a clown. I can deal with anything, and I'd make it work, if I had to.

I did a show recently over at Fire Island, and halfway through all my make-up just melted off. It was so incredibly hot — it was the hottest I've ever been performing. And I just said, "Well, that concludes the make-up portion of the evening." You know, the show has to go on.

At that point, do you wipe it all off, or do you keep it in its weird, melted form?

I just kept it on . The show was rapid-fire. And I hadn't really done a show like that without support acts. They said we just want you for 45 minutes, and there was no-one else to take over. 

I had to just go from one act to the next to the next, and slowly the make-up just degraded, but that became part of it.

The people love seeing realness, especially in a performance. Anything that feels for you, specific to that performance in that night, makes it even more magical. They love that I perform through that, that I'm not like "Stop the show! I don't look proper!"

At the end of the day, I just want to perform and make people laugh. That's what people want as well, so looking funny is part of it.

What was the last screenshot that you took?

This hot dog dress! Because I liked it. I'd like to show up as a hot dog sometime.

What's the last Wikipedia rabbit hole you went down?

It was … [looks through phone] "LGBT culture in Sydney".

Did you learn anything?

I don't even remember reading it! [Laughs]

Was there a horror movie that you watched too young that scarred you forever?

I loved horror movies when I was really young, so I don't think anything scarred me. I'm more scarred by boredom than fear.

I had a little black-and-white TV in my room, and I would stay up late and watch Nightmare on Elm Street, Elvira, Jason. Whenever we watch movies, I tend to want to watch scary movies.

What horror have you seen recently?

We just saw Longlegs . It was really funny, I loved it.

Nicolas Cage makes these really bizarre, funny acting choices. Everyone in the theatre was laughing — I don't know if that was what they were hoping for or what they were expecting, but it's made people quote it on TikTok.

In your own words, what is this tour?

I've been told it's the best drag show people have ever seen!

I come from a theatre and production designer background — I used to make the sets and costumes for all the shows that I produced. I took the background that I have in visual presentation and production design, and I turned it onto my own storytelling. 

The element of the circus I love is you really never know what you're gonna get. It's a variety adventure where you [only] know that you're gonna be entertained. It's a theatre show that incorporates drag. You can expect a lot of comedy, I do a lot of improv and stand-up. 

People really gravitate towards my [Snatch Game characters] Joan Rivers and Shirley Temple, where you have something that's familiar, but then you add a twist.

Like, Shirley Temple goes from being a tap star to a rap star. And so I have this hip-hop number where my dollies come to life — it's really surreal. 

It's Monty Python and Pee-wee's Playhouse on acid. It's [about making] people laugh and go, "What the f*** did I just watch??"

Jimbo's Drag Circus tours Australia this August, with stops in Sydney, Wollongong, Hobart, Canberra, Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Adelaide and Perth.
