Is Kylie Minogue starting her 2025 world tour in Australia?

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/is-kylie-minogue-starting-her-2025-world-tour-in-australia/

Is Kylie Minogue starting her 2025 world tour in Australia?

Kylie Minogue could be back on Australian stages as early as February 2025, as tea starts to spill that a Tension world tour announcement is coming very, very soon.

It’s been an excruciating wait for Aussies after Kylie’s renaissance last year with banger Padam Padam and album Tension.

At that time, the singer was focusing on her Las Vegas residency. After the residency wrapped up in May, Kylie’s schedule opened up.

For months, we’ve known that a world tour is coming. But music industry chatter about details and dates has ramped up over the last few weeks.

A tour announcement could even drop as soon as next week.

However it’s understood Kylie is planning to start the world tour in Australia in February 2025, at the end of our summer.

UK’s The Sun has also reported that US cities are next, before Kylie does arena shows in the UK and then all over Europe over summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

In July, Kylie herself casually dropped confirmation of an upcoming Australian tour during a radio interview here.

“I want to say yes. Yes. The answer is yes! We’re just locking down details,” she told the Fifi, Fev and Nick show on The Fox 101.9 in Melbourne.

“Maybe I wasn’t meant to say that, but yeah.”

Kylie Minogue hasn’t gone out on tour since Golden

Kylie Minogue’s last big gig in Australia was the huge Sydney WorldPride closing concert last year.

The upcoming Tension tour will be her first since the Golden era, with follow-up album Disco recorded and released at the height of the pandemic.

In July, Kylie was to headline Australian festival Splendour in the Grass, before the entire event was sadly cancelled.

After Tension last year, Kylie has been dropping collaborations all year – Dance Alone with Sia in February, Midnight Ride with out country star Orville Peck and Diplo in June, My Oh My with Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo in July and Edge of Saturday Night with The Blessed Madonna last month.

There’s more new music on the way too. Kylie shared that she was in the studio with UK EDM pro Joel Corry, amid talk of work on a “full-on dance album” at the time.

The Aussie icon recently signed a multi-million dollar Netflix deal for a documentary. That project is reportedly set to start filming before the end of the year.

Summer is approaching so that means another round of Jonathan Toubin's Sunday Soul Scream at Our Wicked Lady in East Williamsburg's industrial zone is upon us.

We bounced back and forth between using these party frogs and King Kong but the frogs just looked like too much fun to pass on. Pulled some inspiration from mid-century design on hotel bar matchbooks while still keeping it recognizable as my Soul Scream poster work. I'm always battling with my desire to make these with a more minimal palette every year (2-3 colors max) and my inevitable slide into using 5, 6, 7 + colors. It's just the battle I go through with wanting to render something completely and create a striking graphic image.

Anyways, the party kicks off on Sunday May 28th and goes on every summer Sunday up to Sept 3rd. Be sure to follow the Sunday Soul Scream instagram to see what bands and guests dee jays will be appearing every Sunday night.

On the Ground at Frostapalooza

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/on-the-ground-at-frostapalooza/

On the Ground at Frostapalooza

I can’t say I would have ever expected to see Jeremy Keith performing the Yeah Yeah Yeahs song “Maps”, but then again, I don’t know what I expected to happen at Frostapalooza.

The Event

Brad Frost, web designer, author of Atomic Design, and an absolute maniac on the bass, celebrated his birthday by putting together a one-night-only benefit concert featuring musical performances by himself and his talented family and friends.

Frostapalooza, held at Mr. Smalls Theatre in Pittsburgh, PA, was an all-ages event where 100% of the proceeds are headed towards two great causes:

NextStep Pittsburgh: Helping provide accessible rehabilitation for folks with spinal cord injuries and paralysis in Pittsburgh.

Project Healthy Minds: Providing research and resources to help tackle mental health.

Performances

The variation of musical performances sprawled across the night, covering tracks by Fleetwood Mac, Radiohead, David Bowie and so much more, check out this setlist of all 31 tracks on Spotify.

I loved the performance of Pink Floyd’s classic song, “Money.” As a Floyd fan who will never get to see them live, this was easily the best rendition I could ask for, which included the full lineup of instrumental sections.

Brad was joined on stage by none other than CSS-Tricks founder, Chris Coyier. Chris picked banjo on a few songs, such as Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues” and The Band’s “The Weight,” both fantastic.

The stage background prominently displayed visuals out of CodePen demos made by CodePen community members during the set. Check out the Frostapalooza tag on CodePen to see everything that was projected.

Another favorite moment was Brad’s version of “Wake Up” by Arcade Fire, which felt like a perfectly matched song for the evening.

Musicians

If you haven’t caught on yet, many of the folks lending their musical talents to Frostapalooza also happen to be web designers and developers Brad has met and worked with during his career. At times it felt like the Wu-Tang Clan of CSS on stage.

Brad’s family and musicians from his other bands pitched in, such as Elby Brass. Ridiculously impressive! I had never seen a tuba-playing lead vocalist until this night.

You can see the full lineup on the event’s website. But I’ll drop a screenshot in here just for posterity.

Photos! Videos!

Mike Aparicio captured a great video of a group jam on Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” that you’ve got to watch on YouTube. Brian Kardell nabbed this gem of Chris pickin’ on “The Weight”:

The end

Plain and simple, this was a super fun night celebrating music and friends. Happy birthday, Brad, and thanks for putting on an awesome show!

Unlocking the Mystery: Why Is Classical Music So Calming?

Classical music has been known to have a calming effect on people for centuries. Many people turn to classical music to relax after a long day at work or to help them sleep at night. But why is classical music so calming?

Research has shown that listening to classical music can have a positive impact on mental health. It can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Classical music has been shown to slow down heart rate, lower blood pressure, and decrease the levels of stress hormones in the body. It can also improve mood and increase feelings of relaxation.

In addition to its calming effect on mental health, classical music has also been found to improve sleep quality. Listening to classical music before bed can help people fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. It can also improve the quality of sleep by increasing the amount of time spent in deep sleep, which is important for physical and mental restoration.

Key Takeaways

Classical music has a calming effect on mental health, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression.

Listening to classical music before bed can improve sleep quality and help people fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

Incorporating classical music into daily life can have positive effects on mental and physical well-being.

The Calming Effect of Classical Music

Classical music has long been known for its calming effect on the mind and body. The slow, soothing melodies of composers like Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart have been used for centuries to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.

How Classical Music Affects the Brain

Research has shown that listening to classical music can have a profound effect on the brain. It can help to lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety, and even improve sleep quality. This is because classical music has a unique ability to stimulate the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps to regulate mood and emotions.

In addition, classical music can also help to reduce levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that can have negative effects on the body if left unchecked. By reducing cortisol levels, classical music can help to promote a sense of calm and relaxation, which can have numerous benefits for both physical and mental health.

The Role of Rhythm and Beat in Classical Music

One of the key factors that makes classical music so calming is its use of rhythm and beat. Unlike some other genres of music, classical music tends to have a slower, more deliberate tempo, which can help to slow down the heart rate and promote a sense of calm.

In addition, classical music often features a strong beat, which can help to regulate breathing and promote a sense of focus and concentration. This can be especially helpful for those who struggle with anxiety or have difficulty relaxing.

Overall, the calming effect of classical music is well-documented and can have numerous benefits for those who listen to it regularly. Whether you're looking to reduce stress, improve sleep quality, or simply enhance your overall quality of life, classical music is a powerful tool that can help you achieve your goals.

Classical Music and Mental Health

Classical music has been known to have a calming effect on the mind and body. It can help alleviate stress and anxiety, lift one's mood, and improve cognitive function. In this section, we will explore the benefits of classical music for mental health, including anxiety relief, depression, and cognitive function.

Classical Music for Anxiety Relief

Anxiety is a common mental health issue that affects many people. Listening to classical music can be an effective way to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. A study conducted by researchers at the University of San Diego found that listening to classical music can significantly reduce anxiety levels in patients undergoing surgery. Moreover, a survey conducted by the British Academy of Sound Therapy found that listening to classical music for just 45 minutes can reduce anxiety levels by up to 65%.

Classical Music for Depression

Depression is a serious mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While medication and therapy are often used to treat depression, listening to classical music can also be an effective way to alleviate symptoms. A study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders found that listening to classical music can reduce symptoms of depression in elderly patients. Moreover, a study conducted by researchers at the University of Helsinki found that listening to classical music can improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression in patients with dementia.

Classical Music for Cognitive Function

Classical music can also improve cognitive function, including memory and concentration. A study conducted by researchers at Stanford University found that listening to classical music can improve cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, a study conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland found that listening to classical music can improve cognitive performance in students studying a foreign language.

In conclusion, classical music has numerous benefits for mental health, including anxiety relief, depression, and cognitive function. Whether you are looking for a way to reduce stress and anxiety or improve your cognitive abilities, listening to classical music can be an effective and enjoyable way to achieve your goals.

Classical Music and Sleep

Classical music has long been known for its calming effect on the mind and body. It is no wonder that many people turn to classical music to help them sleep. In this section, we will explore how classical music can improve sleep quality and help with insomnia.

Classical Music and Sleep Quality

Research has shown that listening to classical music before bed can improve sleep quality. A study published in the Journal of Advanced Nursing found that listening to relaxing classical music can have a positive effect on sleep quality in students. The study concluded that listening to music before bed can help reduce sleeping problems, such as insomnia, and promote better sleep quality.

Classical music has a regular rhythm that can help slow down breathing and heart rate, leading to a more relaxed state of mind. This can help reduce stress and anxiety, allowing the body to fall asleep more easily. Additionally, the soothing melodies of classical music can help create a peaceful atmosphere, making it easier to drift off to sleep.

If you like the idea of sleeping better, then together with Moritz Schneider, we have created Orchestral Meditations.  This is a website dedicated to binaural theta meditation music, recorded by the National Philharmonic Orchestra (NPO) and Choir at my favourite studio in the world, Abbey Road.   As far as I know, we are the first composers in the world to record and produce dedicated meditation music with a full symphony orchestra.  The benefits of having over 120 musicians play and breathe together is simply astonishing; and it doesn’t matter how hard you try, you can never achieve that quality or emotional togetherness with digital instruments.  If you’re interested to hear some of our brand new tracks, head over to our new meditation music website to take a listen.

Classical Music for Insomnia

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that affects many people. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, anxiety, and an irregular sleep schedule. Classical music can be a helpful tool in managing insomnia.

A study published in the Journal of Nursing and Health Science found that classical music therapy can be effective in improving sleep disorders in children. The study found that classical music therapy can stimulate endorphins, providing a sense of calm and making it easier to sleep.

Classical music can also be helpful in creating a bedtime routine. By listening to the same calming music every night before bed, the body can learn to associate the music with sleep, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

In conclusion, classical music can be a helpful tool in improving sleep quality and managing insomnia. Its soothing melodies and regular rhythm can help create a peaceful atmosphere, reducing stress and anxiety and promoting a more relaxed state of mind.

The Mozart Effect, which suggests that listening to classical music can improve cognitive function, has been a topic of debate among researchers. While some studies have found a correlation between listening to Mozart and increased spatial reasoning skills, others have failed to replicate these findings.

Despite the mixed results, it is clear that classical music has a positive impact on brain function and emotional intelligence. It can also boost the immune system and improve physical health.

In addition, classical music can serve as a background noise that creates a sense of community and promotes relaxation. As Cinda Yager, a music therapist, notes, "Classical music is like a big hug. It envelops you and makes you feel safe."

Overall, classical music is a powerful tool that can benefit individuals in various ways. Whether you are looking to reduce stress, improve cognitive function, or simply relax, classical music can provide a calming and soothing experience for the mind and body.
