New Zealand punk-rock four piece Miss June are set to return to Australia with their fierce, formidable and head-spinning live show that has been impressing audiences worldwide since the release of their debut album, 'Bad Luck Party,' in September 2019.

Last in the country supporting Aussie favourites Dune Rats, the four piece will also make their Australian festival debut in March 2020 with appearances at Farmer + The Owl and Panama Festival, where they will be serving up a blistering, reckless sound that you definitely won't want to miss seeing live this summer.

Australia’s pop golden star-risers, Pinkish Blu and Egoism, are teaming up on an Australian tour to celebrate new music!

With layered vocals, ear worm hooks and life affirming lyrics, ‘Coupon’ by Pinkish Blue is a buoyant, uplifting track that soars over rising 80s synths. After only playing a handful of shows, the four piece shared the stage with acts such as GFlip, Last Dinosaurs, The Rubens, Trophy Eyes, Kingswood, Delta Riggs, and WAAX.

Sydney sweethearts Egoism are touring on the back of their single ‘What Are We Doing?’ which saw the band win their second add to rotation on Triple J, New Music Friday’s playlisting and Unearthed Feature Artist. They have been sharing stages with Last Dinosaurs, Moaning Lisa, Johnny Hunter, Bec Sandridge, These New South Whales among many others.

GAUCI will share 'To Save A Moment' where the second chances given to the fading relationships of 'In The Night' might be over for good. Recounting feelings of sentimentality and the turmoil of uncertainty, this new single is entrenched in the group's moody synth and 808-laced emo-pop sound.

Like so many of their musical heroes they traversed the Indian Ocean looking for new landscape and inspiration, what surmounted was some of their best writing to date.

With an arsenal of new material and support from Daniel Lee Kendall and Little Green, it's set to be a night to remember.

Brisbane’s Hallie is performing a string of shows across the country, to support her upcoming single, ‘Sympathy’. It is easy to judge others, Hallie confesses in ‘Sympathy’. She calls out this toxic behaviour while demonstrating her rock sensibility and powerful voice. The song is a reminder to herself, and to others, though sometimes it can be hard, it is important to be kind.

Living off Guzman burritos and an affinity for indie pop, Fripps & Fripps crawled out of a local garage and onto Cronulla's live music scene in early 2015. The lads have delivered sold out appearances on Sydney's southern fringe and gigged alongside UB40, The Bamboos and Caravana Sun during the Inaugural 'Australian Music Week' conference and 'Hifi Days Festival' in late 2015. The boys then shut themselves off from civilisation in a down town garage and began recording the songs that would be their debut EP. Catch them at Waywards with Special Guests on Friday 20th March.

Tickets $12.25

8pm

Fresh off a two-month stint playing sold-out shows across Europe and the UK with fellow Australians Harrison Storm and Sons of the East, Hollie will be taking her contagiously loveable on-stage presence and charismatic live show across Australia for her biggest headline shows to date.

Join us to see the Sydney four piece, The Lazy Eyes, showcase their debut single ‘Cheesy Love Song’.
