Myf and Zan bring Bang On to a sold out crowd for the first time ever in Melbs. With homemade badges in hand, they capture the week that was, with the Bang Fam. Rihanna has reportedly turned down the Superbowl Halftime Show in solidarity with quarterback Colin Kaepernick, but does it signal a shift in broadcast power as well? One of the biggest films of the year has opened, and we’re wondering if A Star Is Born pits pop music against “authenticity”. Meanwhile we’ve received more messages than ever before about a certain piece of farshun, and are debating the ghoulish nature of hologram tours. And Virginia Trioli joins us fresh from her debut as DJ Trigga for a special Bang Back! We cried.
Whether you were in the room or with us in spirit, join us for one of the most joyous Bang On episodes so far.
