The alternative is to live in Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne. Fuck those towns.

Christchurch gets even less shows, though is a much more desireable place to live than most Aussie towns.

And don't forget the earthquakes!

An evening with Primus (Two full sets)

Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but it sounds like an evening with Primus where they play two sets...

[not tyson]

Two sets of what, smart arse.

Charlie and the chocolate factory songs?

Charlie and the chocolate factory songs?

Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing they will be Primus songs.

[not tyson]

[N.Y.H.C.]

I wonder if they're going to have any lesbian trapeze artists in pig suits scissoring on stage?

[Kittaan]

^ Got invited to that but going to spend a quiet evening at home with some family and friends, who also have kids, instead.

Yes, I am an old fuck. What's your point?

[hellboy]

Going out on New Years Eve is pretty overrated. I'd probably go out if Primus were playing though, but nothing happens in Adelaide apart from fireworks and drinking in the street, neither of which ever really had much appeal.

[not tyson]

It's amateur night, just like going out Christmas eve or even worse, shudder Anzac day.

More good news in regards to John Zorn's appearance in Adelaide next year:

Dave Lombardo - one of the most respected and influential drummers in recent history, long-time Slayer drummer, member of Fantômas and founder of Philm is coming to Adelaide Festival.

Lombardo will perform with John Zorn and Bill Laswell as part of the Bladerunner trio, featuring in Zorn’s concert, Triple Bill. Artistic Director David Sefton says “With an already stellar list of artists for the Zorn in Oz concerts, I’m just thrilled to announce the addition of another superstar, Dave Lombardo.”

Already have tickets for one of the 4 shows, might try and squeeze in this one as well if the budget allows for it.

Two legends together in harmony:

Dainty Group is proud to announce superstars Lionel Richie and John Farnham will perform in a co-headlining tour with their own bands across Australia in March 2014.

Five-time Grammy winner Lionel Richie is a music icon known for his solo hits and as a member of the Commodores. Collectively he has sold more than 100 million albums, and written and recorded chart-topping hits including Hello, Easy and All Night Long.

John Farnham, a master performer whose classic album Whispering Jack is owned by one in four Australians, has a long-held nickname that still says it all: The Voice. This year, Farnham was voted best Australian singer of all time in a poll of 100 singers and musicians.

Lionel Richie and John Farnham promises to be a unique, not-to-be-missed concert event.

Richie's Australian shows come off the back of a US tour where the music legend received five-star reviews.

The Hollywood Reporter said: "Looking and sounding as good as he did a quarter century ago, he delivered a high energy set that mixed his trademark balladry with funkier songs from his Commodore days."

The Houston Press added: "Lionel Richie has been helping us dance, cry, and love better than the sum of all of our current pop stars combined."

And the Atlanta Constitution Journal summed it up simply: "Good times never felt so good."

Lionel Richie and John Farnham promise two incredible performances of hits - old, new and reimagined.
