Lil Nas X Australian tour at Hordern Pavilion

Time Out says

Lil Nas X cements his place as the pop star of the future, with a defiantly queer Australian concert tour

When Lil Nas X brought his Long Live Montero Tour to Sydney, fresh from bringing in the new year at Falls Festival with the Wiggles, he proved that he never half asses a thing. This inaugural international tour establishes Nas not only as a superior pop star, but as an incredibly clever conceptual artist.

From a staging of breakout hit ‘Old Town Road’ preceded by classic Western ditties and a giant golden horse gliding onto the stage, to a performance of ‘Call Me By Your Name’ culminating in gigantic butterfly wings fluttering from Lil Nas’ back – the whole extravaganza is fabulously camp, and shamelessly gay. Graphic backdrops and video interludes add a surreal and intergalactic dimension, as well as furthering the narrative, which is, essentially, the tale of how a kid called Montero Hill became the notorious Lil Nas X. 

Flanked by a troupe of lithe back-up dancer boys and dressed in a parade of envy-inducing costumes, Nas is a consummate entertainer, evidently just as adept at courting attention as he is at courting controversy. His rapping and singing sounds just as powerful live as it does in his highly produced hit singles, and he regularly jokes with and speaks to the audience, even throwing out a few “Aussie! Aussie! Aussies!” (to which we all compulsively shout back “Oi! Oi! Oi!”). Perhaps this is something he picked up on his visit to Oxford Street stalwart the Stonewall the previous evening? (Just imagine bumping into Lil Nas X when popping into the Stony for some casual Tuesday night karaoke…)

On the surface, Nas is a joyful and defiant presence in popular culture, breaking the mould of both the hyper-masculine legacy of rap music, the white-washed norm of the pop genre, and the heteronormativity of both. Dig a little deeper, and there are more intriguing layers to his rise to fame, from the way he was controversially excluded from the country music charts, to his fake beef with Nike. As a gay, Black man from the American south, he has a cutting perspective on masculinity, religion and more topics that make excellent fodder for university essays. His messages clearly strike a chord with the Aussie punters who braved the summer rain to see him.

The audience filtering into the Hordern Pavilion included a range of young femmes, gay gents of all strokes, mulleted lesbians, enthusiastic allies, and a few confused straight boyfriends who’d clearly been dragged along with their girlfriends. A smattering of sparkles and cowboy hats was sprinkled between them all. A handful of young children were also privileged enough to see the joyful and affirming parade of queer pride and Black talent on stage. You'd hope that some of the more x-rated references went over their heads – but honestly, they'd probably see much more suggestive content at a Katy Perry concert.

As evidenced by the free printed programs distributed around the venue, Long Live Montero is treated as a full production, not your typical pop concert. And it’s a nice touch to have the set list (separated into three ‘acts’) and details of the show’s creators and performers handy. 

Nas left the audience wanting more, with the proceedings wrapping up after an hour – no intermission, no encore. It’s easy to forget that he only has one album to draw on, considering how prolific he has become in such a short time. 

But the real letdown, especially for those of us straining our necks from the floor, was the difficulty in actually seeing what was happening on stage. Most concerts nowadays would have large screens either side of the stage, projecting a zoomed-in live feed of the performance. In lieu of that, the height-challenged among us were spying a lot of the action through the phone screens of the people with their arms raised ahead of us. Fat chance of seeing any floorwork. Here’s hoping that next time he heads Down Under, Lil Nas is booking stadiums with better visual aids. We all deserve that.

Lil Nas X's Long Live Montero Tour, co-presented by Live Nation, toured to the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney as a Falls Festival Sideshow. This concert was reviewed on January 4, 2023.

  •   Lil Nas X rose to fame with his 2019 mega hit  ‘Old Town Road’ , which simultaneously upended the music industry and shattered genre norms. The 16x Platinum remix with Billy Ray Cyrus became the longest running #1 single in Billboard Hot 100 history, is the most certified song in RIAA history, and was recognised with numerous awards including two Grammys. Multiplatinum hits  ‘Panini’, ‘Rodeo’  and  ‘HOLIDAY’  followed. Lil Nas X   went on to   release the culture-shifting 5x Platinum hit  ‘MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)’  in March 2021. The queer anthem debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and propelled to #1 on both the Top 40 and Rhythm Airplay charts. The single features on his GRAMMY-nominated, certified Platinum debut album  Montero  which was released last September and landed spots on “Best Of 2021” lists across the globe. The album also boasts back-to-back Top 40 #1s with  ‘Industry Baby’  featuring Jack Harlow and  ‘That’s What I Want’ .
  • Don’t miss the rapper, singer, songwriter and internet king’s first Sydney show when he performs in January, fresh off his headline slots at Falls and Lost Paradise. It’s going to be one hell of a night!

Lil Nas X Is Coming to Sydney This Summer for a One-Off Falls Festival Sideshow

The 'Old Town Road' artist will play his first-ever Sydney show in January — and PinkPantheress and Magdalena Bay have also announced gigs in the Harbour City.

Lil Nas X Is Coming to Sydney This Summer for a One-Off Falls Festival Sideshow

Can't make time among your summer plans for Falls Festival this year? Won't be able to see out 2022 and welcome in 2023 at Lost Paradise , either? In ace news for Sydneysiders, headliner Lil Nas X is coming to you. Falls Festival has just dropped its lineup of upcoming sideshows, and the 'Old Town Road' artist leads the bill — playing his first-ever Sydney gig, in fact, in January.

You'll want to take your horse — or your usual form of transport — to Hordern Pavilion, with Lil Nas X's Long Live Montero tour stopping by the venue on Wednesday, January 4. Now that's how you make the most of holiday season, even if it looks like Lil Nas X's teamup with The Wiggles won't be on the bill at his standalone concert.

You'll still hear everything from 'Old Town Road' to 'Rodeo' and 'Holiday', though, plus 'Panini', 'Montero (Call Me By Your Name)', 'Industry Baby' and 'That's What I Want', too.

It's obviously been a huge few years for the artist, with his breakout single becoming the longest-running number-one song on America's Billboard Hot 100 since 1958, when the chart debuted.

Also on the Falls Festival sideshow list is British singer, songwriter and producer PinkPantheress, who'll hit Sydney's Roundhouse on the same date — Wednesday, January 4 — to bust out 'Pain', 'Passion', 'Break It Off', 'Just for Me' and more.

And, Florida synth-pop duo Magdalena Bay are heading to Oxford Art Factory on Thursday, January 5, fresh from supporting Flume, Porter Robinson and Charli XCX before playing Falls.

Pre-sale tickets for all three shows go on sale at 9am AEST on Monday, September 5, with general sales from 9am AEST on Tuesday, September 6.

Live Review: Lil Nas X @ Hordern Pavillion

Lil Nas X appears to be living his best life, and fortunately, he’s taking us along for the ride.

lil nas x australia tour 2023

Let’s set the scene for pre-game: the sky is cloaked in a storm cloud, bleaching the venue’s grey surrounds of any hint of colour it may have had. Thus, the snake of people that coiled around the venue in anticipation was all the more impressive. It makes sense that the bold fashionista would inspire an equally bold crowd, and he certainly did that. At the very least, this gig has the highest cowboy hat ratio of 2023 on this side of the equator (hyperbole? Perhaps, but maybe not). The unofficial dress code of the event was very much, show up to show out.

And if it wasn’t already evident that this was a live show with a difference, it has a playbill. A playbill at a Pop Rap show! Right?! Also, the playbill includes the setlist broken into a three-act play, a QR code for a Snapchat interactive concert experience, a two-page spread covering his outfits and pages dedicated to important causes like The Trevor Project and GLAAD.

Gold Fang took the stage in a matching brown leather overcoat and trousers at the advertised 8 pm, setting the tone for the incredibly well-orchestrated evening. The crowd were engaged from the onset, waving their hands side to side concurrently as soon as they were called on. Fang knew his assignment as the sole opening act: hype the crowd for the headliner. The Trinidadian-turned-Australian artist added a different flavour to the evening and, much like a good entrée, whetted the crowd's appetite, leaving them salivating for the man of the night.

The 35-minute drought between sets was broken by a booming voiceover to mark the beginning of a journey. Lil Nas X 's Long Live Montero Tour borrows and extends on many ideas, pieces and forms, with the set more like a theatrical piece than a concert. Broken into three acts, The Wizard of Naz opens each with a beautiful direct-to-camera monologue that inspires as much as it excites the audience. Then, a lone figure walks to the middle of the stage to an uproar. A fresnel directly above our protagonist abruptly illuminates his silver chest plate, and the show begins.

lil nas x australia tour 2023

The choreography of X and his team of dancers was elevated all the more by the visuals, with the virtual camera matching up with the onstage talent. When dancers leaned one way, so did the visuals, and when they twirled, the camera spun, too.

Don't miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter

The visuals were more integral to the show than any artist this fresh to the industry. The venue was intimate enough that the screen was never wasted on close-ups, with the utilisation of the screen being a presentation masterstroke.

X incorporated elements of other hits into his set, as many artists with blossoming catalogues tend to. However, he and his team were clever with how they incorporated them thematically. For example, Old Town Road  transitioned into Ginuwine's Pony , which transitioned into Black Eyed Peas' Pump It , which concluded with his single, Rodeo.

lil nas x australia tour 2023

The show was rehearsed, considered, and incredibly well-executed. It featured numerous costume changes, multiple props, a dance break where his eight-strong dance crew got the literal and figurative spotlight shone on them as individual performers, and related crowd participation (X called up five members of the audience as he believed “the people want[ed] to see some ass being shook”).

X's live performance is transcendent because it doesn't rely on any one thing. Not his vocals, not his charisma, not his showmanship, not his dancers, not his visuals. Everything is interwoven so thoughtfully and choreographed so effectively that it lifted the collective spirit of all present.

X, or Montero, appears to be living his best life, and fortunately, he’s taking us along for the ride.

Lil Nas X announces a Long Live Montero tour doc is on the way

Lil Nas X Performing Long Live Montero Tour

2024 will be a big year for Lil Nas X!

Lil Nas X is coming to Max!

The superstar rapper and singer announced today that his Long Live Montero tour will soon be available in households across the country as a tour documentary coming to the streamer on January 27.

See on Instagram

The rapper/singer’s latest tour featured hits from throughout his career, as well as elaborate costume changes and sets, incredible choreography, and a unique spectacle.

On the tour he performed everything from “Old Town Road,” to “Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” to “Panini,” “That’s What I Want,” and “Industry Baby.”

The tour stopped in 16 cities in North America, seven in Europe, one in Australia, and five cities in South America, and lasted from September 2022 to March 2023.

Lil Nas X has been announcing a lot of new things this year already, teasing his “christian era” in late November and then announcing that he “wrote AND directed” his own music video for the first time.

More recently, Lil Nas X teased a new era of music on Instagram with a black and white photo of him and a Lil Nas X logo with the caption, “I know it's been 2 years but… y’all ready for a show?”

He then posted that he’ll be releasing a new single soon with an image of him doing the steps of the sign of the cross and the caption, “New song and visual next week! - Official art dropping soon.”

It’s looking like 2024 is going to be a big year for Lil Nas X.

With new music teased and a short social media hiatus ended, Lil Nas X has signaled that he’s ready to move on from his  Montero album era. But with his latest announcement, the superstar has made it clear that he’s only getting started with it.

Lil Nas X revealed a trailer for the Long Live Montero tour on Tuesday (April 26), his first-ever headlining tour that will kick off this September. The video plays as a practical highlight reel of the last few years of Lil Nas’s career, while also showing dreamy visuals of a massive theater teeming with overgrown plant life.

“Hello, I am Montero, and I welcome you to my event,” the rapper’s voice proclaims in the clip, before throwing in one of his classic troll comments. “My world. My universe. Everyone’s allowed — except gay people. I am Lil Nas X, and I present to you my first tour.” The star added in his caption that he wants to see each and every one of his fans there, saying, “all of u better come or i will cry on instagram live.”

The tour will begin with 14 U.S. dates, starting on Sept. 6 in Detroit, before heading to Europe for a seven-date run, ending on Nov. 17 in Barcelona. Tickets for the tour go on presale Wednesday, April 27, at 10 a.m. local time, in an exclusive partnership with Cash App. New and existing Cash App Cash Card holders will have access to the presale by purchasing their tickets with the card on Ticketmaster .

Lil Nas X’s tour announcement comes in the midst of the singer teasing his upcoming new era of music, telling fans that he his next album would be “something fun, something for the summertime, something for the girls to get ready and party to.” He also shared a series of teasers for upcoming singles, including a clip of one particular flex song called “Lean On My Body” that has already got fans excited.

Check out the full list of tour dates, as well as Lil Nas X’s teaser trailer, below:

  • Trivia The premiere of the film at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival was delayed by roughly half an hour because a caller had made a bomb threat supposedly targeting Lil Nas X for being a black queer artist. However, according to a spokesperson for the festival, "To our knowledge, this was a general threat and not directed at the film or the artist." The threat was ultimately proven to not be credible.
