Highlight Of The Decade 

Seeing Iggy Pop at Festival Hall in Melbourne. The adrenaline in the room was insane. The "Godfather Of Punk" knows how to give a performance. The engagement with the audience was fantastic and watching the crowd jump on stage with the man of the hour was brilliant. Don't think the security guards were prepared for it though! It was also his 72nd birthday! Nothing beats singing Happy Birthday to a legend.

Prediction For Next Decade

Hopefully we'll be seeing more Australian artists rocking the international charts!
