  SPEAKER_02: Um, tickets went on sale at various points last week, uh, over artist presale, uh, promoter presale, general on sale.

  SPEAKER_02: And the guys have done it, they've sold at 26 shows across all the metros and cans.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_02: Shifting over 300,000 tickets.

• 14:12
  SPEAKER_02: Uh I think I paid about 180 odd for like the back end um standing, general edition standing.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_02: So I think they range from like 140 through to like 200 something.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_02: And they shifted 300,000.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_02: 300,000 tickets.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_02: If every ticket's 180, yes.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_02: That's 54 million dollars.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_02: That is 54 million dollars, yeah.

• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: I haven't seen numbers like that since numbers like that on the last tour that did that.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I think Calvin Harris was the last show to to pull 300,000, and and that was like a couple of months ago, a couple of weeks ago, sorry, earlier this month.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_02: And um the Powderfinger have more shows, so they're making a lower cost per ticket uh gross.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_02: But 26 shows, huge.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_02: And then they've come out and said, Don't worry, if you didn't get tickets, we're now talking about putting together some on-core run, an on-call run to bring everyone to bring it back for more dates later on.

• 15:30
  SPEAKER_02: A, they're a band that gigged for a long time.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_02: So I think they've got they've got the depth, they've got the bench, and they've got the repertoire.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_02: And B, they have the because they're not promoting an album, they can have the freedom to pick anything from their uh their discography and just put together the ultimate set list of ones that they want to play, that fans will want to hear, that they haven't heard in like minimum 10 years or 20 years.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like it's it's an insane move.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, just if you if you are on the powder finger ticket buying train, you missed out, don't worry.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_02: There is talk of some encore shows coming down the line, but yeah, an insane move to sell 300,000 tickets.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_02: Insane.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_02: I I I struggled to get like I it took me three goes to get some.

  SPEAKER_01: That's what it is.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, two maximum.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_02: Oh you know, it's an easy, easy mistake to make that one.

  SPEAKER_01: Go listen to it, obviously.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_01: We want to clarify pure coincidence.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_01: We did not know this was coming.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_01: No, we had no idea.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_01: We had a theory.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: But we actually got told we have no idea.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_01: Um, they're bringing out Ocean Alley, Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_01: Which is what a that's a huge double bill.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_01: That is, yeah, it's a huge bill.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_01: Um, let me just pull up the specific dates because it's all part of their world tour in 2027.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: I can hit you with the dates if you need them.

• 18:00
  SPEAKER_02: One thing I will note: good gaps between those shows.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_02: For a couple of extra bastards.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_02: Potentially, we don't know.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not um if you are thinking about getting tickets, you should go in because I don't actually know.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_02: That's I'm not encouraging you to hang back and wait for the second show, but um, I'll note that there's some gaps in there.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_01: There is some gapies.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_01: But um, yeah, I wanted to talk about February, but before we do, let's talk about On the Banks, which is also happening concurrently.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_02: Mate, just non-stop.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_02: So on the banks, we've talked about a few shows that have already dropped from them.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_02: Um, we've talked about Leon Bridges, we've talked about Madness, we've talked about the Avalanches, and we've talked about Fat Boy Slim.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_02: They had they they rounded out more of their uh lineup last week with new shows announced from Amal and the Sniffers, Kasabian, uh Pete Murray.

  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_01: Peter Murray.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_01: He's playing Feeler and his other one in full, I believe.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_01: And his other one.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_01: Damn.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_01: The other one with um better days.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_01: Shout out, Pete.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, true.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_01: I went to school with his nephew.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_01: Did you now?
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_01: I did.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_02: The one who's playing?
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_02: Pete Murray.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_02: I think he might be his nephew or some kind of relative who's playing as a support.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_02: Oh don't know, don't think so.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_02: Good.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_02: Glad we talked about it.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_02: The uh but that those shows are running across February and March.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_02: So uh if if any of those artists are interested in you, get into those, get down to On the on the banks.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_02: Those artists are doing broader tours if you don't happen to be in Brisbane.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_02: But if you are in Brisbane, get to On the Banks.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_02: 100%.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_02: You might see us.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_00: Hello.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_01: We're pretty hard to set a spot.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_01: We're quite short.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_01: We are.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, I wear hard intentionally so I can hide.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_01: And that's why you grew a beard.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_01: And that's why I grew a beard, so I'm even less conspicuous.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_01: It's actually a Velcro when he takes it off in public so people don't recognise him.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_01: I sorry.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_01: On that note though, Max, we need to talk about February 2027 because I genuinely do not understand how I'm gonna afford all these shows.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I think you may have to take out some kind of loan or uh remortgage the house or something like that.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna have to do something like that because let me give you a breakdown of the month.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_01: It's the shortest month of the year, and we've got it's not even a leaper next year.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_01: It's not even Jewel, mate.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_01: Shortest month of the year, and we've got Kings of Leon, Water Parks, Amel and the Sniffers, Kasabian, Leon Bridges, uh, System of Down, Faith No More, Lizzie McAlpine, Paleface Swiss, Throne, Day Seeker, Laneway, Haley Williams, Fontaines, uh, The Strokes, Sleep Theory, The Avalanches, Calvin Harris, Empire of the Sun, Drain, President, and Citizen.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_01: At least three good bands on there.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_01: No, it's an absolute fuckload.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_01: You could genuinely see a top-tier show every night for the whole of February.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_02: So don't bother, don't bother trying to sleep or like I the the number the amount of Brism workplaces that we'll have uh people just taking days off all throughout that that run.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I'm gonna I think I'm just gonna go ham.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_01: Hit as many as I can.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe that'll be the challenge.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_01: Workplaces, just hit it on.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_01: I've got the hundred bands that I've put on pause.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: Where's the sound effect?
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, sorry.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_01: Um I've got the hundred bands.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_01: I've intentionally tapered it back because I ate it's fucking exhausting.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_02: It is, to be fair, going to a lot of gigs, like great, don't be wrong, good problem to have, but fuck me, you did get to the game.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_01: You get to like the third or fourth, and you're like, fuck me.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_01: You want to know set times specifically.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_01: Um so I've intentionally tapered back because I know that November is a huge month, and then December's obviously good things, and there's a lot of sideshows and stuff.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_01: So the hundred will be hit.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_01: You could practically do the hundred in February alone.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: You're not gonna be wrong, like just the bands you labeled down, that was like 30 bands.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_01: And most of them have a three to four band bill.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_01: Like you do the math on that, it's fucking enormous.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_01: A lot of bills.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_01: Lot of bills.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_02: Gates.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_02: That's it.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_02: Nye Clinton.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_02: Russell.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, good one.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_02: Good one.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_02: That's a deed card.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_02: No, yeah.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_02: Anymore?
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_02: Any no, I think we should get into some video games.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_02: Sambo, uh, we uh GTA 5 is rapidly approaching.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_02: Sorry, I should start that again because it's not uh it's not.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_02: That was that was ten years ago.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_02: GTA 6, Sam, is rapidly approaching.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_02: It is.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_02: And they've obviously uh here we care a lot about the game, but we care mostly about the soundtrack.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_02: And the uh uh the developers and the artists that are working on it have kind of given us a bit more information about the soundtrack, about the original score that's coming up, and I wanted to do a bit of a deep dive on on what we know so far and hit you with it.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_02: So some of the big announcements over the last couple of days uh is that the original score is being uh produced, written, recorded by Justice, the electronic duo.
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_02: First of all, awesome.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_02: Um if you have seen, if you if you heard uh Justice, if you've seen them live, you know how cinematic and like massive that all of their stuff feels at the same time as being like dramatic and dancy and pop, it can kind of tick every single box.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think there's anyone in this world who can like rightly say that there's no justice song that appeals to them.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_02: They just they do it all.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_02: And also like so many of their songs sample from uh classic rock and and hip hop and you know all the whole world of music that you know to they kind of are the perfect band to bring into GTA for people who like a little bit of all of that sort of stuff.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and then to kind of emphasize the the sound, the tone, the tenor, the vibe that they're going for, they dropped uh a song, Justice dropped a song featuring Sisla, King Gizard and the Lizard Wizard, and Tame and Parla.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, um Tame Impala worked with uh Justice on their most recent album on Never Ender.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_02: Um, this new song is called Flower in a Hurricane, and I'll tell you what, they've dropped Money for Nothing too, Sam.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_02: Like it's just the most 80s vibey track you've ever fucking heard.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_02: So we'll give it a little spin because I wanted you to like this is this is setting the time to be in Vice City in in the the Miami ripoff, like such a vibe.
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_01: Say what you want about Tammy Pollard, man.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_01: Can write fucking bangers.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_02: I I just obviously, yes, I totally agree with you.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_02: But then King Wizard, King isn't a lizard wizard, like out of nowhere, but they you can hear that kind of weird influence that they have on things.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Scissor has a verse in there that just sounds fucking cool, like she just delivers that her vocal is amazing.
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so like if that's a like a musical uh thesis statement for what we can expect from from GTA 6, I'm already in.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_01: They've got a bunch of different channels as well that they're not alluding to, but they're previewing.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_01: So cocaillo?
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, oh FM.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_01: So I didn't realize you spoke Espanyol Sam.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_01: It's modern Latin.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_01: Uh then you've got the country station, you've got we throwing hosts in while we go.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_01: Because bad bad morning is hosting uh Coca-Ta.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't know that.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_01: The Country Station.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_01: Um, you've got Afrobank station, you've got a metal station, it's called The Chamber, yep.
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_01: You've got Flash FM, which is pop music, yeah.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_01: Uh you've got Dirty South Classics, which is a little bit southern with like regional rap and hip-hop.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_01: They've already dropped a few singles too.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_01: Like Sexy Magic, K3L and Paco and Moroso.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_02: And Fred again and Pink Panther S and Eddie and Decretchie, like big lineups.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_02: They're pulling in heaps of names for these songs.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_01: Young Lean did a song with Future and Metro Booming.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_01: Travis Scott put out one, Morgan Wallen put out one, Cardi B put out one, Keith Richards put one out.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_01: Keith Richards is such a like random guy.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_02: I love it because of course there's gonna be a classic rock station in there somewhere.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_02: Um, the song that Keith Richards puts out, put out is kind of like it's not very rocky, it's more like an acoustic y, like bluesy kind of thing.
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but like some of the artists that they've got hosting the stations.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_02: I mentioned Bad Bunny before, Lana Del Rey and Morgan Wallen are hosting Backcountry Radio, Kerry King is hosting The Chamber, Burner Boy is hosting Afrobank, Robin is hosting Flash FM, and Trick Daddy and Trina are hosting Dirty South Classics.
• 26:33
  SPEAKER_02: So like they've not wasted a fucking second getting big name artists to come and do stuff for this soundtrack, and I'm ready to go.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_02: Have you pre-ordered it?
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_02: The game or the soundtrack?
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_02: The game.
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_02: Uh I haven't yet.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just probably just gonna buy it digitally when it when it drops.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_02: I don't have a PS5.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_02: I'd say now's a good good time to upgrade.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_01: But are they gonna drop a PS6?
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_01: Eventually, I'm sure they will, yeah.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe I do need to upgrade.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_01: But um I don't think we're gonna see a cultural phenomenon like this for a long, long time.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_01: Like the stranglehold this game soundtrack entire personality will hold on.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_01: Like you're not gonna see people take sick days to play a video game ever again.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_01: Uh you definitely will, I think.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_02: Red Dead Redemption 3.
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_02: Red Dead Redemption 3, 4 out five, maybe.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_02: Um, there's a few that I think could could pull it through.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_02: One thing that I will say is I think we often talk about how there's a a real lack of a monoculture in terms of like music and movies and stuff.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_02: I think GTA and to a lesser degree a couple of other um video games can pull together the monoculture in no way otherwise, like in a way that no nothing else can.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_02: Like to have full almost fully fleshed out radio stations for each uh sort of genre that you know is reflective of Miami, of Vice City, is such a cool way to like create the monoculture out of the other cultures.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_02: Like it's like the it's like the megazord of the monoculture, if you know what I mean.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_02: Like, and I think that's why it has such an appeal across just across everybody, is that like you can load up and listen to the music you want to listen to and do the thing that you want to do within this giant world, and God, I'm I'm excited to just for everyone to be in there.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be the talk of the town for a long, long time.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, rightly so.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_01: The budget is reportedly between one and one and a half billion dollars.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_01: That's a lot of cash money.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_01: So to bu build the Birch Khalifa in Dubai, it's two billion.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_01: It nearly cost as much as the Birch Khalifa.
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, that doesn't surprise me.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_01: When you factor in the amount they'd have to like the soundtrack alone would have cost probably hundred, two hundred million just to get all done.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but but even like the number of people who've been working on this for what, 13 years now?
• 28:42
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I don't think it took them 13 years to build the Birch Khalifa.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_01: And I think the one thing I really like about this drop is that GTA, you're not gonna see people doing like playthroughs in one day.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_01: People will speedrun it, obviously.
• 29:00
  SPEAKER_01: But it's a big, big game.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, it's it's the game, it's the kind of game where like you can I mean, this is not a video games podcast.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_02: Everyone who has played has played GTA before.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_02: We're preaching to the choir.
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_02: But I mean, like, I think that the beauty of the game is that there are times when like I do feel like just driving on the highway, listening to the music, like putting the radio on.
• 29:17
  SPEAKER_02: You dis I discovered so many songs from previous GTA soundtracks, like classic rock songs and modern pop songs and stuff like that.
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_02: So it's such a cool like place for discovery to have artists who've like, you know, that is a stacked lineup that we talked through before, and that's only not even half of the the s the songs that are on there coming in writing songs for this game, but like huge, massive, mega.
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_02: To pull Keith Richards and Young Lean into the same record, huge.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_02: That's insane.
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_02: Very fucking cool.
• 29:47
  SPEAKER_02: Should we get to the suitcase now, Father?
• 29:49
