THE LIVING END
The Living End are an Australian punk rock band that have released eight studio albums and had two No. 1 debuts on the Australian Albums ARIA Chart. The Living End are one of Australia’s most ferocious live acts, consistently headlining festivals around the country. Their blistering live performances have earned the band an enviable position of one of Australia’s greatest live bands.
JON STEVENS
After 40 years in the entertainment industry, Jon Stevens has truly cemented his place as Aussie rock royalty. Best known as lead singer of 80's juggernaut Noiseworks, then later fronting INXS in the early 2000's, Jon has also had huge success as a solo artist with his powerhouse vocals and electrifying live shows.
BABY ANIMALS
It has been 30 years since one of Australia’s most revered rock bands, Baby Animals, burst onto the scene with the release of their 8x Platinum, ARIA Award winning, self-titled debut album, featuring iconic hits ‘Rush You’, ‘Early Warning’, ‘Painless’ and ‘One Word’. The album went eight times platinum, won three ARIA Awards, and later appeared in The 100 Best Australian Albums.
THE SCREAMING JETS
The Screaming Jets have been an enduring rock entity on the Australian Music landscape for the past three decades. The Screaming Jets continue to deliver a rock show guaranteed to wow and delight new and old die-hard fans and they never disappoint with their unique firebrand Oz rock. 30 years on and literally thousands of gigs later, they are considered the ‘Last Great Pub Rock band’ in Australia and playing better than ever before.
CHOCOLATE STARFISH
Chocolate Starfish are the epitome of a concert party! Fronted by the enigmatic Adam Thompson, the band is known for their high-energy live performances. With songs like Four Letter Word, Mountain, and You’re So Vain, Chocolate Starfish powered onto the Australian music scene in the 1990s and quickly secured themselves a space as an influential force. A band that never fitted the mould; they were loud, brash, a bit tongue-in-cheek... and, above all else, a band that always delivered.
