Russell Crowe has just sprung news that has rocked his fans, and no, it is not Gladiator 2. He will be holding an ‘Indoor Garden Party’ at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on December 20, 2025. For what it’s worth, the lineup sounds totally wild: taking the stage with Lorraine O’Reilly, The Gentlemen Barbers, and Scott Grimes as special guest, Brake – wait for it – with The RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan. Yeah, that RZA.

This just blew up on Twitter. Some were all hyped, some were crying about not being able to go, and others were already begging for a livestream option. Classic internet chaos.
First up, the excitement. @mustangpampam killed it: “Wish I could be there! What a party!!” & @Tittina80 called it a “Xmas gift,” which is pretty darn fair since Dec 20 is practically on Christmas’s doorstep.
Not everyone was so fortunate, however, with their schedules: @13Michelleann dropped the got-classic “Damn…I won’t be in Oz then,” followed by the hopeful “Hopefully they’re other dates for when I get back.” That’s how it feels when you can’t get to a concert, and you keep your fingers crossed for a second leg of the tour.
Here came the logistics people: @Viviana45179806 made a straightforward request, “Please Russell, make it possible for those that can’t be there to buy a ticket for streaming!” while @c1972carmen echoed the same sentiments: “I am happy for those who can go but for me it is impossible. Will it be streaming?”. Totally valid questions, because Crowe’s fan base is really more than just the country he is holding an event for.
A few of those replies went nostalgic. @DorothyOstra said Crowe’s promo photo reflected the Colosseum and asked, “A memory of battles past-or perhaps a hint of another musical conquest?” Maximus lives, indeed.
And then came @couiza, who provided the levity: “I’m guessing you’re the… Real Deal… as opposed to the five Russell Crowes who are currently following me on this platform… Lord knows why??” Fake celebrity accounts – the scourge of social media.
Many in fans’ minds were already foreseeing the future. “Are you touring in 2026?” asked @cliveatkinson while @itslindaheere begs, “Next year you will be touring again in Italy and in Rome, won’t you? Pretty please, I miss u so much.” Yeah, it’s getting desperate.
Definitely not just another Hollywood vanity project, oh no. There is quite the history of Crowe’s Indoor Garden Party being a legitimately great time, mixing music with humor and surprise guests. And with RZA in the mix? Yeah, this is gonna slap.

Now, the grand question-will there be a Gladiator reference in the setlist? Only time will tell. For the moment, though, mark those calendars if you’re in Sydney. Or start that campaign for the livestream. Either way, December 2025 just got a lot more interesting.
