Prepare to be transported to a soul-drenched psychedelic realm with Nick Carver and the Mean St Butchers. This talented band is known for their captivating blend of rock music infused with elements of soul and psychedelia.

Sandy Dish combines punk rock sensibilities with a strong feminist perspective. Their infectious energy and compelling stage presence and explosive Fem Punk performance promises to be a standout moment.
Get ready to be swept away by the dishevelled coastal rock sounds of The Sand Brothers, a local band who have recently released their debut album this year. Formed in 2020, The Sand Brothers can be considered a supergroup of sorts, featuring the talents of Greg Walker from Machine Translations and Rick Sands from The Night Party.
Last up is the amazing Queenie, the trash queen alter-ego of Melbourne musician Eloise Thetford (ex Héloise, Bone Shack and Badgers). Her live shows shake, shudder and smoulder with fiery charisma and freewheeling stagecraft when she’s performing with her band, a rogues’ gallery of Melbourne’s finest musicians.
