Overview

The world’s favourite historians, Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook, are returning to Australian stages with their wildly popular podcast The Rest Is History live on tour this December!

Smart, funny and endlessly curious, Tom and Dominic bring their signature blend of sharp insight and compelling storytelling to the stage as they interrogate the past and untangle the present. 

With over 18 million streams and downloads globally in January 2025 alone, The Rest Is History is the #1 history podcast in Australia and New Zealand and one of the most listened-to podcasts of any genre. Their deep dives into the world’s most fascinating moments – from the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the Nazi conquest of Europe and Hitler’s global ambitions, to the French Revolution, the Titanic, and the Norman Conquest of 1066 – have captivated millions.

Following sold-out shows in 2023, The Rest Is History Returns promises more unforgettable stories and a front-row seat to history like you’ve never heard it before.
