The Pyramid is bringing you another incredible showcase. The 2026 Summer Showcase. Platforming 21 incredible dancers from around the country to share their movement, their stories and their art on the stage of The Vanguard. Inspired by the work of PDSMUK & BLXCKSTAGE, The Pyramid is an initiative and space that works to centring and celebrating BIPOC, SW & fierce allies that exist within or outside of the pole community who don’t often have the opportunity or space to come as they are, to dance in a way that is true to their bodies, and their existence.

After the triumphant 2025 release of their highly anticipated third full length record, ‘Test Of The Iron Mind’ - Australian hardcore kings, Iron Mind hit the road again this Summer.

Playing a select number of dates with stacked local supports across the country in February of 2026, Iron Mind’s live sets are what the legendary band has built their name on and these are shows not to be missed.

Trophy Eyes, formed in Newcastle in 2013, are a genre-defying force that blend punk energy, post hardcore grit, and soaring melodic hooks into something uniquely their own. Known for their emotionally raw songwriting and explosive live shows, they’ve carved out a reputation as one of Australia’s most compelling acts. Trophy Eyes have been in full sprint since dropping 2023’s Suicide and Sunshine — a cathartic, widescreen record that tore into the ARIA Top 10 and cemented their rep as one of Australia’s most essential rock bands.

Led by charismatic front-man Jett Gazely (19), PASH proudly claim to be the sonic and aesthetic love-child of INXS and 1975. Their new single ‘Tracy’, all 90’s nostalgic charm and addictive hooks, is their take on a meet-cute that leads to obsessive heartache; capturing the rush of youthful devotion and how it feels to fall for someone just out of reach.

It’s soul. Celtic Soul. Hothouse Flowers are Celtic Soul. They personify it. The band delivered a soulful and energetic show where anybody in the band can start a song and jam out how it flows. Scottish Music Network.

Renowned for their explosive blend of rock ‘n’ roll, Irish folk and American gospel, Ireland’s legendary Hothouse Flowers, are set to return to Australia for the first time in 20 long years for a highly anticipated tour in February 2026.

VENUE UPGRADED FOR MIND ENTERPRISE SYDNEY DEBUT 

Somewhere between the afterglow of the ‘80s and the promise of tomorrow, you’ll find Mind Enterprises — the Italo disco duo turning nostalgia into something electric and alive.

They’re back! And this time, it’s going to be even louder, wilder, and completely unmissable.

After blowing the roof off The Marlin last year with a sold-out, sweat-soaked, dance-till-you-drop show, Australia’s most electrifying roots and blues trio 19-Twenty are making their long-awaited return — and it’s happening on  Friday the 13th.

Coincidence? We don’t think so. It’s pure rock ’n’ roll fate.
