Music fans in Melbourne will have plenty of chances to see James Reyne next year, with the Aussie legend announcing he’ll play the Palms at Crown on the first Saturday night of every month.
The sets will include all the hits and some special treats from James Reyne’s vast solo career and Australian Crawl back catalogue. Make sure you arrive on time for the support acts, who are some of the best acts in the country.

I honestly can’t remember the last time we saw Aussie acts on top of the albums and singles charts. But this week we’ve been supporting our own, keeping 5 Seconds of Summer at number one on the singles charts with “Youngblood” and propelling Sheppard to number one on debut with their sophomore album Watching the Sky.

Meanwhile, Watching the Sky is Sheppard’s first number one album, and the fifth Aussie album release to top the charts this year.
