Pandemonium Rocks 2024 kicked off in Melbourne yesterday and Kylie Sahb Photography was there to capture all the action.

Gig Review: Lookout Festival, Mornington Racecourse, Saturday 13 April, 2024 | With a huge lineup on today's bill including heavy weights and dual headliners, Live and Incubus, it was hard not to get your feet dancing and a voice strained by the end of the huge day. Set in Melbourne's coastal town of Mornington Peninsula, today's huge line up was certainly well received with a...

GoodThings festival completely blew up Flemington on Friday for the first stop on the festival tour. Kylie Sahb of Kylie Sahb Photography was there to capture and review all the action.

"Good Things 2023 Melbourne was a great festival that proved that music is really alive and kicking in Melbourne. Punters were treated to a range of music that catered for many tastes. Whilst this year’s line up was not as heavy as previous bills, it still was a great day out and no doubt be a December regular on the gig calendar"

Festival Review: Good Things Festival, Melbourne, 1 December, 2023 | Good Things Festival smashed through Melbourne's inner city suburb of Flemington on Friday 1 December, 2023.

Gig Review: Robbie Williams, AAMI Park, Melbourne 22 November 2023. | 23/11/2023

Robbie Williams played last night at AAMI Park, Melbourne to a welcoming crowd. Kylie Sahb was there to capture all the action.

"Williams always has had an innate ability to make you feel like he’s performing just for you. But last night, there was something extra special. Was it that we were exposed to more of his rawness, vulnerability and realness than ever before; or was it because he just seemed right at home enveloped in a blanket of happiness and contentment that we’ve never seen before? Either way, it was Williams at his best.'

Gig Review: Eagles of Death Metal, The Forum, Melbourne, Tuesday 25 July 2023 | 26/07/2023

Eagles of Death Metal always put on a superb show and last night was no exception.

"The charismatic Jesse Hughes made sure he had the crowd eating out of his hands (literally) by throwing mint slices into the crowd as he sauntered on to the stage. What a presence Hughes is. His infectious energy, the pure joy that you can feel from him and the excitement of what was to come, vibrated through the crowd."

Gig Review: Red Hot Summer, Mornington Racecourse, Saturday 14 January 2023 | 15/01/2023

Talk about a sweltering start to the 2023 Red Hot Summer Tour at Mornington Racecourse. Whilst the temperature was blistering, the music and drinks were cool and we were there to capture the action and kick off the first gig of the Red Hot season.

"Whilst it was an uncomfortably hot day, the music and drinks were cool. The bill proved itself to be worthy of a Red Hot Summer Tour and the punters lapped up the new sounds of a fresh bill."
