Salty (The Gong, Wollongong)
Sydney Pop artist Salty has seriously been turning heads since her return in July with “See U In 3”. She has been celebrating the launch of her debut EP, The Other Side. That song and video was a mix of sensuality, sass and energy that few were prepared for and saw her step over a threshold and step up into the commencement of “Salty’s new era”.
The highly anticipated apex of that journey is her debut EP ‘the other side’. Proving that she has the richest visual aesthetic of any current Australian Pop artist is the dance-focused new video for “Cut U Off”.
She has also announced a run of shows to launch the EP, including her first interstate date.

Hey PopRockers, for the first time in 10 years, Swedish pop duo Roxette has hit Australian shores, last playing in the Perth Arena. It was a new look, due to the untimely passing of Marie Fredricksson in 2019, with Lena Phillipsson taking over. Roxette also had some pretty good stars supporting with Boom Crash Opera and Jon Stevens playing before Roxette in Perth
The venue was on the grounds of Kings Park Botanical Gardens. Walking through the gates, you could already spot hundreds of Roxette fans waiting patiently for the show to begin in the blazing setting sun. That estimate would later be blown out of the water. Luckily they didn’t have to wait long and we were soon seated and waiting for the show to begin.
