M. Ward’s love affair with Australia continues. After a sweet run of intimate Melbourne shows in early 2025, our favourite whisper soft ‘n’ smoky songwriter and guitarist M. Ward returns to Australia in March with his band, The Undertakers for a special East Coast tour taking the music from metro bars to the regions.

Emily Lubitz - Two Black Horses Album Launch

Beloved Australian songwriter Jack Carty hits the road in celebration of his 7th studio album

In The Blue of The Day. Fresh from a national theatre tour with Katie Noonan, Carty will

bring his warm storytelling, wit, acclaimed back catalogue, and new songs to Brisbane,

Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Perth, Adelaide and Bellingen.

Canberra’s XACTO arrive in Melbourne for one night only, bringing the full force of their six piece XTC devotion to the Kindred Bandroom in Yarraville. It is a fiercely detailed dive into one of the most inventive post punk catalogues ever written. XTC stopped touring more than forty years ago, but XACTO keep the flame burning with three guitars, keyboards, rhythmic detail for drums and a room full of choruses that go off like fireworks.

Released last week, Once I Was Wild is the 7th album from The Smith Street Band. It debuted
at #2 on the Australian Artists ARIA Charts & #14 on the ARIA Charts, making it the 9th time
The Smith Street Band have had a release in the ARIA Top 50 Album Chart.

BATTLE BEAST do not write songs. They write anthems. Big riffs. Soaring melodies. Unbridled energy. A triumphant evolution fusing classic heavy metal with '80s-tinged hard rock, cinematic synths and infectious pop hooks. And they deliver these anthems live with all the force of a category nine hurricane.
