Kathleen Halloran // Nobody's Baby Album Launch

Melbourne guitarist and singer-songwriter Kathleen Halloran brings her debut album Nobody’s Baby to The Vanguard, Sydney as part of her debut national album tour.

An Evening With Steve Kilbey of The Church: Flukes Hoaxes and Whims 

Armed with just his 12 string, his silver larynx and 1500 odd songs, he will delight and entertain you with his middle eights, his pithy observations of the musical biz, the stars, the bars, the clubs, pubs and the odd arena. The gals, the pals, the enemies and the pursuit of your heart's desire! 

The music, the words and a good time!

Sydney's genre-defying rock titans, HELLIONS, are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their ARIA-nominated, career-defining album, Opera Oblivia, with a massive Australian tour in May 2026 and Sydney show as part of Great Southern Nights.


Chicago post-punk trio FACS make their long-awaited Australian debut this May, bringing their stark, driving minimalism to audiences across the country in support of their sixth studio album Wish Defense (Trouble In Mind).

Wish Defense, the final album recorded by the late, legendary Steve Albini, sees FACS explore themes of identity, duality and introspection through stark rhythms and haunting melodies, energised by the return of original member Jonathan Van Herik.
