He went on to champion numerous landmark cases promoting justice and civil liberties globally. Celebrated for his work in international law, Robertson later served as the President of the War Crimes Court in Sierra Leone and appeared as counsel in high-profile human rights cases. His prolific writing includes bestsellers such as “Crimes Against Humanity: The Struggle for Global Justice.” A tireless advocate for free speech and equality, Robertson’s contributions to the legal field and human rights activism have left an indelible mark.
From landmark cases to the pursuit of justice
On the 25th of May, Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre will come alive with Robertson’s reflections on his storied career, from landmark cases to his relentless pursuit of justice. Alongside personal anecdotes, the audience can anticipate an earnest inquiry into the question: How Do We Fix a Turbulent World?

Evans’ Life Upside Down Tour, which follows the triumphant release of his EP of the same name in 2023, exceeded all expectations. Originally planned for seven headline shows, demand skyrocketed, leading to an extended tour with a total of fourteen headline performances.
Known for blending Nashville’s southern charm with an unmistakably down-to-earth Aussie spirit, Evans has become a household name, earning rave reviews and selling out performances. His dynamic live performance has been celebrated as “electric” by Off The Record and “triumphant…with the perfect amount of energy and fun” by Entertainment Focus.

Despite his busy touring schedule, Evans has continued to create music, releasing singles like ‘Date Night’ with Kita Alexander and ‘Thank God She’s A Country Girl’ in 2023, along with the Christmas track, ‘Christmas In The Backyard.’
With support both at home and around the world, Evans’ return to regional Australia promises to be a meaningful one for fans, as he brings with him the Life Upside Down project in its entirety, along with a string of new songs and surprises.

Lapee, the world-first female urinal, is heading to Pitch Music & Arts Festival this weekend
Set to run from March 8 to 12 2024 at the foothills of the Grampian Plains, Pitch offers four wild says of non-stop dancing and impeccable vibes, with year’s lineup will be fronted by legendary German artist Gerd Janson, Berlin techno-house DJ Patrick Mason, French techno producer I Hate Models, Pitch veteran Job Jobse, Italian acid techno duo 999999999, Berghain resident Marcel Dettmann and club and fashion trailblazer VTSS.
Alongside offering everything you know and love about the festival, this year Pitch will also be hosting the Lapee, the groundbreaking urinal designed for women – perfect timing for International Women’s Day on Friday.
Keep up with the latest music news, festivals, interviews and reviews here.
Sporting a vibrant pink hue and reshaping the festival landscape, championing inclusivity and safety for all attendees, Lapee symbolises gender inclusion at international festivals and outdoor events, providing a solution to the longstanding challenge of sanitation access for women. If you’ve ever attended a festival, you’ll resonate with the pain of standing in a long weaving line while listening to your favourite band play in the distance.
“We’re thrilled to be part of the Pitch Music & Arts Festival, especially as it coincides with International Women’s Day on March 8th. This emphasises our commitment to promoting gender inclusion and ensuring a positive festival experience for everyone,” said a spokesperson for Lapee.
Beyond mere convenience, Lapee addresses safety concerns. Lengthy toilet queues can leave women vulnerable to harassment, dehydration, and health hazards when resorting to alternative options, detracting from their festival enjoyment. Lapee aims to rewrite this narrative by offering a swift, hygienic, and empowering solution for women and genderqueer individuals who squat to urinate.
Already met with resounding success in Australia, Lapee made waves at the recent Beyond The Valley Music Festival. PJ Event Hire reported, “The users thought they were fantastic, and thousands used them. The traditional toilets simply would not have coped with the numbers that went through the Lapee. We now have more Lapee ready for the upcoming festivals and also have more on order. They are a game changer!”
However, Lapee’s impact extends beyond convenience and safety; it’s also about sustainability. Crafted from durable, recyclable materials and requiring no water, Lapee minimises environmental footprint. Its stackable design further reduces carbon emissions during transportation, aligning with the company’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
Lapee serves as a urinal for women and gender-nonconforming individuals who squat to urinate. It offers a quick, safe, and hygienic solution at events and festivals.
Join Lapee in revolutionising festival sanitation, promoting inclusivity, and championing sustainability. Find out more here.

At each tour stop, Jet will treat fans to a trip down memory lane by performing their iconic debut album, Get Born, in its entirety. This means classics like “Are You Gonna Be My Girl,” “Look What You’ve Done,” “Rollover DJ,” and “Get Me Outta Here” will reverberate through venues, just as invigorating now as they were two decades ago.
Reflecting on the album’s impact, Nic Cester shared, “Get Born was a rare and unique moment of total planetary alignment where we somehow managed to capture lighting in a bottle.”
The monumental success of Get Born is undeniable, having scooped up six ARIA Awards and achieving nine times platinum certification in Australia alone. Internationally, Jet soared to the top of the US Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts and shared stages with music legends like the Rolling Stones, Oasis, and Kings Of Leon. With worldwide album sales exceeding 5 million, Jet’s legacy is firmly cemented in rock history.
Following a hiatus in 2012, Jet made a triumphant return in 2017 with sold-out shows alongside Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band. Their subsequent performances at Fuji Rock festival and sold-out gigs at Sydney and Melbourne Zoos confirmed that the demand for Jet’s electrifying performances remained as strong as ever.
Comprised of Nic Cester (vocals/guitar), Chris Cester (vocals/drums), Cam Muncey (vocals/guitar), and Mark Wilson (bass), Jet has been a mainstay in the Australian music scene since their formation in the late ’90s. Their journey from the release of their first EP, Dirty Sweet, to induction into the 2023 ARIA Hall Of Fame is a testament to their enduring impact on the industry.
Tickets for all shows will be up for grabs starting at 11 am local time on Friday, March 8. Find out more here.
