‘Fraud’: Jerry Seinfeld hit with hecklers again on Aussie tour

Jerry Seinfeld was heckled again onstage as he continued his Australian tour, but the comedian was quick to retaliate.

Britney breaks silence after Justin arrest

‘Abuse’: Miley’s dad facing shock claims

Photos Timberlake never wanted you to see

Jerry Seinfeld was heckled again onstage as he continued his Australian tour.

Days after he was confronted by pro-Palestinian protesters at his stand-up gig at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, the American comedian was met with a similar response while performing at the ICC Sydney Theatre on Tuesday evening.

The 70-year-old’s gig was disrupted by two men who stood up and waved the Palestinian flag as they chanted “free Palestine” from the crowd, while also calling the star a “hack” and a “fraud”.

Their protest was met with boos from the audience before Seinfeld called out the men as security zeroed in.

“You’re doing great. You’re getting them on your side, can you hear it? It’s working,” Seinfeld sarcastically told the culprits, as captured in footage shared on Twitter by The Australian Jewish Association .

“You have strong political feelings but you don’t know where to say them,” he continued. “You think that ruining the night – it doesn’t affect me. All these people, you’re ruining their night.”

Stream Seinfeld on Netflix, available on Hubbl .

Seinfeld was similarly heckled at his Sydney show on Sunday when an activist yelled “free Palestine” from the audience, which caused the funnyman to respond, “Get out of here.”

“We have a genius, ladies and gentlemen. He solved the Middle East. He solved it,” the comedian joked amid the disruption.

Jerry Seinfeld’s epic comeback to heckler at Sydney show

“It’s the Jewish comedians, that’s who we have to get. They’re the ones doing everything.

“They’re going to start punching you in three seconds so I would try and get all your genius out so we all learn from you.

“It’s a comedy show, you moron. Get out of here.”

The activist was kicked out of the show by security but did not relent in chanting, “Palestine will be free.”

But the show must go on and Seinfeld continued his set as the man was taken away, all while the audience chanted, “Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!”

“Imagine if this guy actually did solve the conflict,” he told the crowd, before addressing the man directly: “You’re really influencing everyone here. We’re all on your side now because you have made your point so well and in the right venue. You’ve come to the right place for political conversation.”

“Tomorrow we will read in the paper: Middle East 100 per cent solved thanks to man at the Qudos Arena stopping Jew comedian,” he added.

Seinfeld has faced public backlash over his open support for Israel as it continues to wage war in Gaza since October.

More Coverage

Two days after the attack, he wrote an “I Stand With Israel” post on his Instagram account.

“I lived and worked on a Kibbutz in Israel when I was 16 and I have loved our Jewish homeland ever since,” he wrote in a caption.

“My heart is breaking from these attacks and atrocities. But we are also a very strong people in our hearts and minds.”

Fans are convinced Britney just poked fun at Justin Timberlake after she made a telling post just hours after his arrest.

Miley Cyrus’ father has been accused of ‘extreme abuse’ by his Aussie wife just weeks after the singer filed for divorce.

Five years before his DUI arrest, Justin Timberlake was caught in some compromising bar photos that led to a public apology.

Paul will bring his acclaimed Got Back tour to Europe this December!

Fulfilling his promise to 'get back', Paul will return to France, Spain and the UK with his Got Back  tour. Earlier this month, Paul announced his first live shows of 2024 with the next leg of the tour launching in South America this October.  

With songs like ‘Hey Jude’, ‘Live and Let Die’, ‘Band on the Run’,  ‘Let It Be’ and so many more, the Paul McCartney live experience is everything any music lover could ever want from a rock show: hours of the greatest moments from the last 60 years of music – dozens of songs from Paul’s solo, Wings and of course Beatles catalogues that have formed the soundtracks of our lives.

This will mark Paul’s first European show since his iconic Glastonbury headlining performance in 2022. Hailed as “one of the greatest gigs of all time” by The Times and “a masterclass from the greatest living cultural figure in this country’s history” by The i, it was also Paul and his band’s 500th show together! These dates will see McCartney return for his first live performance in Paris in six years - in 2018 he played at La Defense Arena, where he is making his return. The wait has been longer for Spaniards, where he last played eight years ago, in 2016 at Estadio Vincente Calderon.

Paul launched his Got Back tour in 2022, completing 16 huge shows across the US before performing his history-making set at Glastonbury in June 2022. In 2023 Paul performed 18 incredible shows as the Got Back tour rocked through Australia, Mexico and Brazil.

Taylor Tourism: New Data Reveals Singer's Eras Tour Is Driving Interest in Small Towns and ‘Destination Dupes'

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission.

Taylor Swift fans flocked to Liverpool last week for the first of her sold-out "Eras Tour" UK dates , but it wasn't just Liverpool locals in the crowd. Among the more than 55,000 Swifties at Anfield Stadium were fans who had traveled from as far as India, China and the Philippines, in addition to seemingly thousands of people from North America.

While they don't share exact booking data, travel site Expedia says search interest in Liverpool has increased by as much as 875% over last year, likely due to Swift announcing her tour dates in the city. Searches for Warsaw, Poland, meantime, have increased by a whopping 1130%, per Expedia, with bookings tied to Swift's concert there in August. Aside from those top two cities, Swifties drove up Expedia searches for May to August by almost 65% for cities that are part of the singer's 2024 European tour . Call it the "Taylor tourism effect."

In a recent Expedia survey, nearly 70% of respondents said they would be more likely to travel to a concert outside their hometown, especially if it was cheaper . More than 40% said they'd see traveling for a concert as an excuse to visit a new place. That has not only increased bookings on Expedia to lesser-known destinations (think Liverpool over London), it has also become a major driver of those local economies.

It isn't just Swift who is driving business for " tour tourism " - last year saw U.S. fans flocking to Europe for Beyonce's "Renaissance Tour," and unexpected cities on Expedia's list of top tour tourism destinations this year include Kuala Lumpur (where Dua Lipa is playing November); Edmonton (where Avril Lavigne, Zach Bryan and Bruce Springsteen will make stops this year); and Mexico City, which will welcome Jonas Brothers, Niall Horan and The Killers, among others. While hotel prices run into the high-hundreds for major cities like New York and Chicago, Expedia has stays available from $91 in Kuala Lumpur, and $119 in Mexico City and Warsaw, proving these so-called "destination dupes" may provide the best value for concert goers.

The top summer ticket aside from Swift? According to Expedia, it's Justin Timberlake who is leading search interest on the site, with his upcoming concerts in Amsterdam and Munich "driving higher demand" in hotel bookings than Swift. Here in the U.S., Expedia is seeing an increase in bookings for small towns like Hershey, Pennsylvania and Lexington, Kentucky, with travel searches up 1400% and 800% respectively for more affordable stays there tied to Timberlake's dates.

While Expedia is best known for offering accommodations and experiences (think guided tours and sightseeing packages), the site also has sports and concert tickets available as part of its resale marketplace. Tickets to 2024 Eras Tour dates start at $408 as of this writing, all backed by Expedia's money-back guarantee.

As for tips on how to score the best deals to see Swift (and other artists): in addition to searching for the less mainstream destinations mentioned above, Expedia says to consider commuting to the concert rather than staying in the exact city where the show is taking place, which can often shave a few hundred dollars off accommodations. The site also notes that Saturday night is often the most expensive night to stay in a hotel. If an artist is playing multiple dates, try and opt for midweek or Sunday.

After 40 years, the punk band NOFX is walking away with a farewell tour that is nothing short of a victory lap.

When they were teenagers, the group developed an extreme do-it-yourself ethos. They had no interest in working for anyone else.

As “the Grateful Dead of punk rock,” they played more than 3,000 shows, and sold more than seven million albums, without ever having a radio hit or much mainstream attention.

And now they are ready to say goodbye — and unlike other bands they promise there will be no reunion tours.

Can You Retire if You Never Had a Job? NOFX Will Try.

The punk rock pioneers chose freedom — and chaos — over major labels. Pulling the plug while things are still working is one final act of rebellion.

By James H. Martin

Photographs by Max Slobodda

“It’s like going to your own wake.”

Mike Burkett, known exclusively in the punk rock world as Fat Mike, was talking about the farewell tour for his band, NOFX, during which the group is traveling to 40 cities, with 40 songs per concert, celebrating their 40 years as a band.

The tour started a year ago in Barcelona and will end where it all began for them, in Los Angeles, with three shows from Oct. 4-6. Fat Mike, 57, along with Eric Melvin, Aaron Abeyta and Erik Sandin are, collectively, experiencing the feels.

“This is it,” Fat Mike, the band’s singer, songwriter and bassist, said of the prospect of touring again after this. “We aren’t Kiss, or Black Sabbath, or Mötley Crüe. This is the end.”

“It’s kind of sad, saying goodbye,” said Mr. Abeyta, 58, the group’s guitarist and trumpet player, who goes by the nickname El Hefe. “We’re family. We’re basically brothers. We’ve lived on the road together, on a bus, sometimes in the same bed.”

“It’s weird, it’s uncertain, it’s scary,” said Mr. Sandin, 57, the group’s drummer who was nicknamed Smelly for the drug-fueled flatulence of his earlier days. (He’s been sober and clean for years.) “I feel like I’m losing a leg.”

Mr. Melvin, 57, the band’s guitarist, known simply as Melvin, acknowledged there was some tension over walking away while the band was still successful. “But I’m just trying to enjoy it, trying to feel it,” he said. “We’ve all gone through it in our own way, but we’ve gone through it together. We’ve got some scars, scar tissue, some sensitivities that can’t be touched anymore, but I can focus on the good stuff.”

NOFX may not be a household name, but to those in the punk world, it’s been the gold standard that’s endured the ebbs and flows of hardcore music. The band’s reputation has rested not only on its songs — packed with crunchy riffs, breakneck drumming and melodic vocals with classic SoCal harmonies — but also on how its musicians have handled their careers. As teenagers, the members of the group decided they did not want to work for anyone, and 40 years later they are retiring as punk rock royalty — and one of the most prominent examples in pop culture of a D.I.Y. ethic taken to extremes.

Formed in 1983, well before more popular punk bands like Blink-182, Green Day and the Offspring, NOFX has never had a radio hit and refused to join the parade of alternative bands on MTV in the 1990s. The group has been defiant and prolific, producing 15 full-length albums — one gold record, “Punk in Drublic,” among them — 17 EPs and countless seven-inch records.

Despite minimal media coverage, the band says it has sold more than seven million records, exclusively releasing them on independent labels, chief among them: Fat Wreck Chords, an imprint co-owned and controlled by Fat Mike.

“We’ve always done things ourselves,” Fat Mike said.

While most bands look to attract fans, NOFX spent four decades perfecting the art of something more akin to anarchist self-centered sabotage. Like a show in London in 2000 when Fat Mike, Melvin and El Hefe decided to take ecstasy before going onstage. “Melvin is trying to play the accordion and he can’t,” Fat Mike said, laughing. “It was our biggest show and we took the punk way out. We were all dying laughing.”

“Who cares?” he added. “Why NOFX are so good is because we’re having a better time than our fans.”

In the band’s formative years, NOFX’s defining quality was how bad the group was — bad musicians and bad singers, with Fat Mike’s distinctive, whiny-sounding lead vocals and Melvin’s guttural, monotone screams. They were kids with trauma — abandonment, molestation, addiction — who found a community that accepted them. In “Hepatitis Bathtub,” the band’s unflinching autobiography, you learn about Fat Mike drinking out of a beer bong made from a sex toy, Smelly buying his first drum set with drug money and El Hefe being interrogated by the secret service for a counterfeit cash scheme.

The early days were defined by blistering, puerile songs, many of which did not have choruses — a style that remains their trademark. A show promoter, concerned by how poorly they sounded, once paid the band $13 not to play.

But after Fat Mike heard Bad Religion’s seminal punk album, “Suffer,” which was released in 1988, he and the other members of the group decided to “stop sucking.”

While Smelly is not sure Fat Mike’s vocals ever achieved the goal — “Mike’s voice started out horrible. It got mediocre. Now it’s back to horrible.” — the band slowly got more proficient, starting with the release of “Ribbed,” in 1991. That year, the music industry was turned on its head by the release of Nirvana’s “Nevermind,” an “extinction-level” event in pop music, according to Fat Mike. Mainstream music took an edgy turn and, within a few years, bands calling themselves punk, including NOFX, found themselves courted by major labels. But Fat Mike — just Fat Mike — wanted to stay the D.I.Y. course.

“I started to doubt,” El Hefe said. “I was looking at these other bands that used to open for us, sleep on our bus when we were at hotels — Green Day, Offspring — and we’re watching them all blow up and make millions. We all thought about it, me, Smelly and Melvin. Are we making the right decision?”

Fat Mike’s main argument — “You are getting into bed with a corporation. You are not an artist. You are an employee.” — eventually won over the others. “I convinced the guys. It took me four months,” he said.

“We were doing fine,” he continued. “We bought houses. I asked the guys, ‘Are you happy with what you’re doing?’”

The others agreed they were, so Fat Mike said, “If we just keep doing what we’re doing, we’ll have one of the most awesome careers ever and we’ll be happy the whole time.”

That’s mostly what happened. NOFX traveled the country and eventually the world, playing more than 3,000 shows across 33 countries and more than 600 cities.

“Over the years I’ve been asked if we made a bad decision,” Melvin said. “Sure, we could have made more money but also burned out quickly or gotten a lot of popularity which would have caused a backlash.” He said he knows people who signed to major labels. “They make a salary, but they’re told what to do, when they need to write, when they need to produce a new album, when they need to tour — that wasn’t for us.”

Controversies aside — most of which involved drugs, onstage banter taken too far and the unpredictability of both the band and its fans — the members of NOFX managed to do something most people can only dream of: They avoided having a day job for 40 years.

What’s the secret to such an unusual path to success?

“To have fun,” Smelly said. “To have no expectations, enjoy the moment. I see a lot of bands make the mistake of wanting to be huge — and they start missing the moment.”

“People don’t understand money or success,” Fat Mike said. “Success is happiness. And if you’re happy, you know what there’s isn’t? More happiness.”

Along the way, there have been failed business ventures like Melvin’s cafe, “Spun Melvin,” and El Hefe’s nightclub, “Hefe’s Nightclub,” and, for Melvin, feeling the pressure to drink and do drugs because that’s what people expected of him. “That became a job.”

Now the final tour. The band is drawing large, often sold-out crowds of 5,000 to 15,000 fans per show. “We declined to work with Live Nation or AEG except for a couple of cities,” Fat Mike said. “And we only play parking lots, campgrounds and parks. Our last three shows are going to be on a pier. We’ve always done things ourselves.”

Fat Mike was talking from his home in Las Vegas, where he partly owns and operates the Punk Rock Museum . It is one of the many business ventures he gets visibly excited to hype up — a portfolio that has reportedly made him millions but often leads to a palpable amount of frenetic energy emanating from him.

“That’s why I need to get tied up and beat,” he said of his S&M fetish and love of wearing women’s clothes, both of which have been incorporated into the band over years. “It’s the only time my mind stops working.”

He leads a busy life and felt it was time to say goodbye to NOFX — “We’re not a well-known band as far as popular music, but we’re loved. After 40 years, I’m so tired of it.” — even if the rest of the band needed convincing once again.

“None of them wanted to quit,” Fat Mike said of his bandmates.

“At first, we did resent him,” El Hefe said. “We didn’t agree with ending this. We were still making money, we still have an audience, people are still showing up at our shows. Their kids are growing up and coming to the shows. We’re like the Grateful Dead of punk rock.”

“Smelly was so pissed,” Fat Mike added. “I just took away his livelihood. I gave him no choice. And everyone was like, what are we going to do for money?”

For Smelly, that could mean touring as a drum tech or building out his surfboard side hustle. Melvin has been working on a solo musical career and became a life coach. El Hefe recently got into acting. In addition to an eight-episode stint on “Mayans,” he’s shooting a film with Vince Vaughn and Al Pacino.

Fat Mike said he set up this last tour so “my boys” are financially secure, though when asked about this point, Melvin shut it down: “I don’t want to talk finances.”

Like any long-term relationship, NOFX’s scar tissue has been built up by what’s been left unsaid.

“I don’t want him to feel like he has to keep taking care of us,” Melvin said. “I’m afraid he’s thought that for a long time, which is kind of funny because I feel we’ve taken care of each other.” After a sizable pause, he added, “Quite a lot.”

“The four of us have a bit of an avoidance of conflict,” Melvin continued. “Maybe there were things we should have said to each other like, ‘I love you’ more, or ‘something seems to be going on with you, buddy, and I just want you to know that I’m here for you.’”

The band still has one another, at least until Los Angeles. When discussing the final show, Fat Mike got choked up. “Because it’s the last time anyone is going to see NOFX. I don’t know how I’m going to get through it,” he said. “Probably with a drug that makes me the least emotional.”

Nike Air Zoom Victory Tour 3 NRG

Select Size

There’s just something about the crack of an old-school wood club or the smell of a fresh pour after 18 holes. This special edition Victory Tour 3 has barrel-aged bourbon browns and smoked streaks of razor-sharp oranges that nod to Kentucky. A wood grain graphic on the Swoosh logo and a tree trunk-inspired outsole highlight a design rooted in tradition and timber. And you still get what makes this shoe so great: unreal energy return and spikes that are ready for another round.

• Shown: Light Iron Ore/Phantom/Khaki/Baroque Brown

Feel the Grip

The Tour Flex Pro from Softspikes® in the key three forefoot spike locations and Silver Tornado spikes in the lateral and heel offer exceptional traction in all conditions and give your feet great grip on the ground when you’re going all out for the pin.

All-Round Response

We stitched an Air Zoom unit directly to the upper instead of being set into foam, so it responds to every step. A full-length plate beneath the Air unit helps increase energy return. Cushiony foam under the heel delivers a smooth ride.

Old-School Look

Full-grain leather has a supple feel and sophisticated look, nodding to golf shoes from past generations.

Secure Feel

An internal strap stretches over then secures your foot, conforming to its shape.
