Lil Baby

Lil Baby, born Dominique Armani Jones, in Atlanta, Georgia, is one of hip-hop’s most influential voices. Emerging from the streets of Atlanta, he turned to rap in 2017 and quickly gained traction with mixtapes like Perfect Timing and Harder Than Hard. His debut studio album, Harder Than Ever (2018), put him on the map with the platinum hit “Yes Indeed” featuring Drake. He continued his rise with My Turn (2020), which became the year’s best-selling album in the U.S., solidifying his place among rap’s elite.

Beyond music, Lil Baby has made a significant impact through his activism and philanthropy. His 2020 protest anthem “The Bigger Picture” addressed police brutality and systemic racism, earning GRAMMY nominations and cultural recognition. He has also invested in his community, supporting education initiatives and social programs in Atlanta. As he continues to evolve artistically and personally, Lil Baby remains a defining voice in modern hip-hop.

Award-winning film composer Hans Zimmer returns to Melbourne for the first time since 2019, bringing his smash-hit tour Hans Zimmer Live to Rod Laver Arena this April.

A groundbreaking audio and visual show, Zimmer’s upcoming tour marks the Down Under return of the legendary composer, who rocked Coachella in 2017 and sold out over 20 shows across 17 cities across the US and Canada in 2024. With the support of his outstanding 19-piece live band and a full orchestra, Australian fans will be swept away from the sound of the first note and journey through a selection of the composer’s well-loved scores from some of cinema’s biggest films. Joining Zimmer onstage as part of the Hans Zimmer Live tour is acclaimed Australian singer Lisa Gerrard, who will perform a selection of the most popular songs she co-wrote with Zimmer, such as Mission: Impossible, King Arthur, Black Hawk Down, Tears of the Sun and Gladiator – which won her a Golden Globe and Oscar nomination. 

The newly arranged concert suites include music from Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Dark Knight, Interstellar, The Lion King, The Last Samurai and Dune, for which Zimmer received his second Academy Award®.
