Brimming with charisma and gothic melodrama, Ville Valo commands your full attention both on and off the stage. Perfectly fusing the melodic and the melancholic, Valo is the embodiment of Johnny Cash, The Sisters Of Mercy, and Elvis with the lyrical elegance of Lovecraft, Poe, and Bukowski. He is truly one of a kind.
Being original does not come easy and creating an entire genre is next to impossible, yet with HIM, Valo did just that when he came soaring out of land of the midnight sun, hypnotising the globe with an enchanting mix of dark rock anthems and emotionally charged ballads.
With his distinguished baritone five-octave crooner voice, Valo's vocal prowess is unparalleled; equally at home making Chris Isaak and Neil Diamond classics his own or wearing his heart on his sleeve on HIM hymns, Funeral Of Hearts, Right Here In My Arms or Wings of A Butterfly. In fact, VVN Music has ranked him as possessing the eighth-highest vocal range of any known singer in popular music and Loudwire ranked Valo as one of the greatest frontman of the 21st century.
Valo’s evolution from the vampiric leader of HIM to the solo artist known today as VV is represented perfectly via HIM’s iconic Heartagram logo. Something Valo gifted the world when he created it on his 20th birthday. The truly iconic image perfectly captures the juxtaposition of the music with the heart representing its softer side, while the pentagram conveys the heavier, darker elements.
With VV, the Heartagram has been updated to include two extra lines to form the moniker VV at its centre. Ville playfully comments that, "Artistically speaking, the main difference between HIM and VV is the extra line in the Heartagram, but what an exquisite line it is!”
VV’s debut solo album, Neon Noir was released in early 2023 and it further exemplifies his storytelling prowess and the ability to contrast darkness and light.
VV is performing select shows featuring a perfect mix of solo and HIM songs.
Metal Wani captured the mood of the London show back in March of this year:
When the house lights are killed, the venue is engulfed in a haunting emptiness. As strands of pink and purple begin illuminating the stage, a bright, cold heartagram appears from the darkness - accentuated by the updated VV at its core. Like a lighthouse beacon it cascades across the audience and as Ville Valo appears the reception is akin to a hero’s welcome. Delivering an holistic set that spans the entirety of his career.
Be still our jet black hearts..

Australia, are you ready for round 2? While it's been less than a year since beloved UK alt-rockers Nothing But Thieves were last down under for an entirely sold out run, the band are returning to Australia this April and May to finish what they started last year.
Presented by XIII Touring, Untitled Group, triple j as well as Wasserman Music and War Road Management, for the second Australian leg of their Dead Club City World tour in 2024, Nothing But Thieves will be exploding onto stages in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide before heading to Auckland; but this time they'll also be armed with the entire Dead Club City album out in the world, as well as some brand new music courtesy of the recently announced Dead Club City Deluxe edition.
An album that dazzles in disco hues, experimental funk, soaring synths, scorching riffs and mesmerising melodics, Dead Club City is undoubtedly the most intoxicating and innovative addition to the Nothing But Thieves universe to date. But beneath the pop glimmers and blistering soundscapes percolating throughout Dead Club City, a socially conscious core also lies in wait, seamlessly balancing real-world meaning alongside its fantastical overarching concept.
Securing Nothing But Thieves their second Top 10 ARIA Album and first #1 UK Album, produced by guitarist Dom Craik along with co-producer Jonathan Gilmore, Dead Club City follows on from the band's LP Moral Panic, and subsequent EP Moral Panic II. And while plans to tour Moral Panic at the time of its release were curtailed by the global you-know-what, Nothing But Thieves' 2023 visit to Australia allowed the band and fans to celebrate moments of Moral Panic and Moral Panic II in live setting, as well fresh Dead Club City cuts, including Welcome to the DCC and City Haunts.
Now with a heightened repertoire to choose from in 2024, including the entirety of Dead Club City and the brand new bonus single Oh No :: He Said What?, Australia is set to once again experience the astonishing live prowess of Nothing But Thieves, which has previously seen the group headline arenas, tour alongside the likes of The Rolling Stones and Muse, and collectively cause Australian crowds to fall head-over-heels time and time again with their eclectic and explosive creations.
Come and experience the technicolour cosmos of Dead Club City and Nothing But Thieves as you've never seen them before this April and May - you absolutely won't want to miss a moment.

Following the unprecedented demand for tickets to Coldplay’s record-breaking Music Of The Spheres World Tour during the pre-sale period, the band has announced additional stadium concerts as part of their upcoming Australia and New Zealand 2024 tour.

The band recently issued an update on the tour’s sustainability initiatives, revealing that, on a show-by-show comparison, their current tour has so far produced 47% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour in 2016/17, and that more than 7 million trees have already been planted around the world (with one being planted for each concert goer).
