Overview

The last time Courtney Love popped by was 1999, when she headlined Big Day Out with Hole. Since then, the 50-year-old has released solo albums America's Sweetheart and You Know My Name/Wedding Day, as well as Hole's fourth record Nobody's Daughter (albeit without Melissa Auf der Maur, Patty Schemel and Eric Erlandson). This month, she's treating us to her very first Antipodean solo tour.

Recent appearances in the UK have been triggering rave reviews. One Guardian critic described her as "enjoying her rock resurrection, leaping from vitriolic to vulnerable, often in the same breath", while The Daily Telegraph experienced 75 minutes of "slightly unhinged" and "thoroughly entertaining... raw pop punk".

Rumours continue to bubble concerning a possible Hole reunion. In a recent Pitchfork interview, Love revealed that they're not necessarily without foundation. "I'm not going to commit to it happening, because we want an element of surprise," she said. "It's next year's concern, but we've hung out, we've sat down, we've met, we've jammed."
