Body Type
Friday, 19 September
Tickets $34.70
Over the past decade, Body Type have established themselves as one of Australia’s most acclaimed and compelling bands. Since forming in Sydney in 2016, they have released three celebrated albums, earned an Australian Music Prize nomination, toured extensively throughout Australia, Europe and the UK, and shared stages with Foo Fighters, Fontaines D.C., Pixies, Big Thief, Warpaint, Sleater-Kinney and Cate Le Bon.
Their third album, Tally, released in July 2026, has marked a new high point for the band. Produced by Warpaint’s Stella Mozgawa, the record became Body Type’s first to break into the ARIA Top 50, reaching #3 on the Australian Artist Albums Chart and #1 on the Australian Independent chart. It was named Feature Album by Double J and met with glowing reviews internationally, cementing Tally as the band’s most successful and assured release to date.
Arriving as Body Type celebrate ten years together, Tally captures a band taking stock, embracing change and pushing their sound into bold new territory, while retaining the wit, charm and sharp observations that have become their trademark.

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 [SOLD OUT]
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.

Katy Steele

Expect a raw, unfiltered performance with Katy stripped bare on stage. In an intimate duo setting, the songs are returned to their purest form- voice, piano, guitar and nothing to hide behind. Known for the soaring anthems of Little Birdy and the richly layered production of her solo work, Katy returns to where every song begins, revealing the heart of the music in its purest form.
The UNDRESSED album is a conscious unravelling of everything Katy has released before, featuring stripped-back interpretations of songs from her solo catalogue, beloved Little Birdy favourites, and timeless covers including Patti Smith's Because The Night, Lou Reed's Perfect Day, and Michael Jackson's Ben.
Honest, immersive and moving, THIS IS ME, UNDRESSED invites audiences into a rare live experience where every lyric, every story and every note takes centre stage.
Allegra Kreiger (USA)
Wednesday, 27 November
Tickets $51
Allegra Krieger is a songwriter, composer & multi-instrumentalist based in New York City. She has released six albums to date, the latest of which was described by Rolling Stone as “ten songs of heady philosophical meanderings packed with emotional dynamite,” and likened her “finely phrased lyrics” to those of “Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and David Berman.”
New York Times: “Deceptively understated songwriter”
Aquarium Drunkard: Krieger sings measured soliloquies recounting her memories, observations, and curiosities straddling the mortal and divine. Finger-picked guitars float like sunlight, illuminating forgotten corners of the universe where Krieger finds inspiration.
Paste: The NYC singer-songwriter’s fourth album skates with ease between cosmic surrealism and grounded, conversational lyrics, and its poetry is a well-oiled, ghostly apparatus only she sees in full… Krieger’s poetry is a well-oiled, ghostly machine.. and the music it produces is as heartbreakingly mature as inherited antique jewelry.
Hillbilly Goats
Sunday, 6 December
Tickets $35
Festival favourites, People’s Choice Australian Folk Band of the Year (2022), Golden Fiddle Recipients (2020) and 4 time “Bluegrass” Golden Guitar finalists, the Hillbilly Goats exude an undeniable passion for mountain music, the instruments and the harmonies. Their mission is to strip back the layers of modern music and transport you on a journey that began centuries ago when the immigrants first settled in the Appalachian Mountains of America.
Their recordings feature award nominated originals, but mostly paint a picture of traditional songs from 1710 through to the 1940’s with a high energy quirky edge. Featuring Banjo, Bones, Double Bass, Fiddle, Tap Dancing, 3 part Harmonies and more, the Goats tell tales of the history of Mountain Music’s evolution into Blues, Country & Bluegrass.
