Ziggy Alberts Going Green For Homecoming Shows

If you missed Ziggy Alberts’ Aussie shows earlier this year, or you’re simply ready for another serve, you’ll be happy to learn he’s doing three more massive local concerts before the year ends. These dates will bring Ziggy’s New Love project full circle as he returns to the place where he began promoting this incredible album.

True to Ziggy’s values, the Homecoming shows will promote and champion sustainability via his Green Touring Initiative which focuses on reducing the environmental impact, giving back to local communities, and educating fans on local causes.

“For this tour, we’ll be aiming for no-single use plastic at each show. We’ve done it before, like at Riverstage, where fans even stayed behind to help clean up – it was amazing,” Ziggy enthused. “We’ll also be hosting environmental stalls at each show, and I’m hoping to squeeze in a sneaky beach clean-up to kick it old school. It’s honestly only a small gesture, but it’s important for me.”

Tickets are on sale now for all of Ziggy’s Homecoming shows:

21 November 2025 – Riverstage, Meeanjin/Brisbane
22 November 2025 – Hordern Pavilion, Eora/Sydney
23 November 2025 – Margaret Court Arena, Naarm/Melbourne

Short Stack Mounting Comeback

An awful lot of time has passed since Short Stack first burst onto our scene and made all the girls squeal as they’re doing over 5SOS right now. So you might not realise that these Central Coast lads are only getting better. Their new single “Gravity” shows a maturity that only comes with a few more years out in the world.

“Gravity” is the first cut from Short Stack’s new album Homecoming (currently in stores), which has a fitting title considering it coincides with their return to the Australian scene after they relocated to London in late 2014. That decision saw them connecting with legendary British producer Chris Kimsey [The Rolling Stones, Peter Frampton, The Cult].

“We wrote this for about three years, and it’s the record that we’ve always wanted to make,” Shaun Diviney said in a press release. “It’s really raw, it’s really live, there’s not much production, and that means that when we play it live, it comes to life, translates.”

Given the lack of flashy production, we can expect the songs to sound amazing in the live arena. We’ll get a chance to do just that when Short Stack play shows all around the country this summer.
