About this listen
Lenny Kravitz has dominated headlines over the past week as he continues his Blue Electric Light Tour across Australia and New Zealand. The 61-year-old rock legend kicked off the Australian leg in November, and reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, with concert critics praising his stamina, stage presence, and musicianship at venues across the country.
His Melbourne show on November 25th at John Cain Arena was described as an unforgettable moment in live music, showcasing a setlist spanning his entire career. The performance featured new tracks from his 2024 album Blue Electric Light alongside classic hits, with the 20-plus minute encore of Let Love Rule becoming a standout moment where Kravitz connected directly with fans on the arena floor.
However, the tour took an unexpected turn during his Brisbane performance on November 21st. During the Let Love Rule encore, a fan ripped four dreadlocks from the back of his head. Kravitz addressed the incident in an Instagram video afterward, displaying humor and resilience about the painful encounter. He acknowledged the aggression required to pull out his locs but emphasized that the moment wouldn't stop him from engaging with audiences during the song, calling it their shared moment together. He told fans Brisbane was wild and that he loves them, maintaining his characteristic professionalism despite the uncomfortable situation.
The incident reflects a broader trend of overly aggressive fan interactions at concerts involving multiple artists recently, including Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, and Ariana Grande. Industry observers have noted the concerning pattern of fans crossing physical boundaries during performances.
On a lighter note, Kravitz was spotted on November 29th at a local coffee shop in Adelaide, where he interacted warmly with fans and was described as an absolute dude with the best smile. His remaining Australian tour dates concluded with shows in Mildura on November 28th and Adelaide on November 29th, where torrential rain threatened the Mildura concert but the rockstar persevered.
Looking ahead, Kravitz has announced plans to continue touring in 2026, with his European Lenny Kravitz Live tour launching June 14th in Croatia and wrapping in France on August 11th. Additionally, he's announced a five-show exclusive Las Vegas residency called Blue Electric Light Las Vegas at Park MGM in August, further cementing his status as a touring force in the music industry.
