Fruit Bats (USA)
Friday, 21 August
Tickets $60 (plus booking fee)
Fruit Bats – formed as the project of Eric D. Johnson (USA) – are one of the most in-demand live acts in indie rock.
Eric D. Johnson returns in 2026 touring solo in celebration of the new Fruit Bats album, The Landfill — a record shaped by memory, vulnerability and the emotional residue of the past. Released via Merge Records, the album draws inspiration from the strange landfill hills scattered across the flat Midwestern landscape Johnson grew up around; man-made monuments built from what we leave behind.
As part of a rare Australian tour, Johnson brings Fruit Bats’ intimate live show to the Green Room!

Across four albums, including the ARIA-nominated About Face and Golden Repair, #1 Dads has earned a devoted following while Iansek has also become one of Australia's most respected producers, working with artists including Maple Glider, Kate Miller-Heidke, The Paper Kites, Ruby Gill and Lisa Mitchell.

Rowena Wise & Her Band
Friday, 30 October
Tickets $38
This October and November, Rowena Wise takes her full band on the road for 10+ dates across Australia to support her sophomore album, Bad Things Feel Good*. The record is a tender, point-blank look at the pain of transformation and what it means to be flesh and blood — from Melbourne to Brisbane, Sydney to Hobart and beyond.
Written over two years of near-constant touring and recorded live over three days at The Ratshack in Collingwood with producer Rob Muinos (Julia Jacklin, Didirri), the album traces heartbreak, estrangement, and the knottier growing pains of adulthood through candid poetic lyricism and a raw live production. The songs hold space rather than demand attention, and live, they hit even harder.
Since debuting in 2018, she has amassed over 10 million streams, earned airplay across triple j, Double j and Unearthed, and toured extensively across Australia, the UK, Europe, the USA and Canada, supporting artists including Holy Holy, Ball Park Music, Bernard Fanning and PaulDempsey. Her 2024 debut album, Senseless Acts of Beauty, was praised by CLASH Magazine as “carefully etched indie folk” and shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize. Her highly anticipated sophomore album, Bad Things Feel Good*, a tender, point-blank meditation on transformation, is out August 7, 2026 via Beloved Records.
Way Dynamic
Friday, 6 November
Tickets $39.80
Way Dynamic, the project of Melbourne songwriter Dylan Young, shares his new single ‘Officially’. The song is included on the first-ever international release of the album Massive Shoe, out on 2 Oct via Jagjaguwar, which also features the recent BBC 6 Music playlisted single ‘Miffed It’.
‘Officially’ is released ahead of Way Dynamic’s upcoming UK, Ireland and North American tour. "I wrote ‘Officially’ the week I met my girlfriend, so it really is a shamefully joyous love song,” Dylan explains. Part delirious and part lament, he continues, “But it also contends with the downside of being addicted to someone - I am a very compulsive person." It’s a jubilant number that enhances Massive Shoe’s take on relationships squandered and flourishing....
Massive Shoe is Way Dynamic’s playful and understated, luminous and textured third album, originally released on Spoilsport Records. It’s minimalist folk-pop, art rock and baroque pop, produced and largely played by Young, who moonlights in Melbourne’s beloved Cool Sounds and Good Morning and has played drums with Snowy Band and Kankawa Nagarra.
