Madness Tour

[1] Sebastian said winning the Best Live Act at the 2014 ARIAs last year for his sold out 53-date Get Along Tour supporting his Armageddon album helped him decide it was time to play the big stages.

He joins an elite club of local acts who have undertaken arenas tours, including AC/DC, Keith Urban, John Farnham, Delta Goodrem, Kylie Minogue and Jimmy Barnes.

[1] In an interview with Max Olijnyk from The Sydney Morning Herald Sebastian said that on his last tour he had done over 50 shows in various sized venues and had to continuously change production based on capacity.

He started with a re-enactment of his Australian Idol win, and sang his first single "Angels Brought Me Here", and moved through a number of his early songs, including "All I Need Is You", "Out With My Baby", "Elevator Love" and "Like It Like That".

Craig L. Thomson from Tom Magazine wrote that the concert showed how far Sebastian had progressed as a singer, songwriter and performer, saying "his voice is just gold and he is one of those vocalists that could sing almost anything".

A very healthy number of adults, who I suspect have grown with Sebastian since his career started on Australian Idol in 2003, also make up the audience tonight".

[8] Joel Meares from The Sydney Morning Herald wrote that the combination of Sebastian's early pop songs with the "darker R&B that has come to define him recently" felt jarring.

He wrote that the first half of the concert was a bit slow as although the Madness songs sounded as strong live as the recorded versions there were too many non-singles in a row.

[7] In a review for The Advertiser Amelia Broadstock wrote it didn't take long for Sebastian "to have the packed crowd on its feet" and "within the first five minutes, his impressive vocals were on show and so were his dance moves".
