HOT DUB TIME MACHINE
HOT DUB TIME MACHINE - Best. Party. Ever Since first launching his time-travelling, ‘dance-through-the-decades’ audio-visual party concept in 2011, Sydney’s Tom Lowndes has grown Hot Dub Time Machine into an absolute monster. This Australian DJ–who showcases songs from every decade and genre of music, weaving it into one expansive, electrifying, music history lesson–has been welcomed by international audiences with open arms; with a phenomenal 200,000 tickets already sold worldwide. Hot Dub is a main stage regular at festivals all over the world, including Australia’s ‘Splendour in the Grass,’ ‘Falls Festival,’ and ‘Groovin the Moo,’ the UK’s ‘Reading and Leeds,’ ‘Latitude,’ and ‘T in the Park’ (Rip), Europe’s legendary ‘Tomorrowland’, Benicassim, and EDC Berlin, Asia’s ‘It’s The Ship’ and even, back in 2014, ‘Coachella,’ in the USA. His headline tours move staggering amounts of tickets, with over 12,500 people enjoying two wild solo shows in 2017’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, two massive shows at London’s legendary ‘Brixton Academy,’ and huge sold-out tours across his Australian home. So huge that he started his own festival ‘Wine Machine’ to take the shows outdoors, into vineyards with a lineup of amazing local artists. Wine Machine is now in its fourth season and moves around 55,000 tickets each year. Recently Hot Dub has become a regular performer at massive sporting events, including the Australian Open Tennis, Formula One, Hong Kong Sevens, Cricket and more, bringing together diverse crowds the power of awesome music and good times. The biggest crowds of Hot Dub’s career are 80,000 at Edinburgh’s NYE ‘Hogmanay,’ 40,000 in Sydney’s Domain supporting Chaka Khan and 30,000 at the Falls Festival Byron main stage. Hot Dub Time Machine consistently delivers stellar live performances that are near impossible not to enjoy. He pinpoints the happiest moments of your partying days past, and re-creates those moments to perfection for you all over again; intertwining them with the right here and the right now–in the most exhilarating way possible. It’s the Best. Party. Ever!

Best Years Of Our Lives
Best Years Of Our Lives - Celebrating 80’s Oz Pub Rock Saturday 25 April | Wallaby Hotel, Mudgeeraba Step back in time to the vibrant era of Australian pub rock from the early 80’s. Best Years of Our Lives takes you back to the ripper days of 80s Oz pub rock, a golden era of thumping riffs, summery strums, and a unique Australian sound from largely undiscovered global talent. It was a time when cultural divides were cast aside, and we gathered to hear bands belt out anthems about love, life, the open surf, the Australian landscape, towns and lifestyle. From sweaty pubs up and down the coast to bustling cities, we all came together to rock the night away. This show captures the soul of this incredible period of Australia’s iconic pub scene, focusing on the timeless vibes of legends like Richard Clapton, Australian Crawl, Men at Work, The Models, The Sports, Flowers, Machinations, and many more. With their raw energy and heartfelt lyrics, these musicians captured the essence of a nation in transition, creating anthems that still resonate today. Presented by Dreams, “Best Years of Our Lives” features Wayne Daniels, the lead guitarist and vocalist of Dreams, who played a pivotal role during this era through his original bands, Triple Entente, Shikira, and Colour Blue. Wayne’s deep connection to the music of this time brings an authentic voice to the tribute, allowing audiences to feel the spirit of pub rock as it was meant to be experienced. The early 80s were a time when live music flourished across Sydney and Brisbane. Pubs became the heartbeat of the scene, with legendary venues like The Roxy, The Annandale Hotel, and The Espy in Sydney, while Brisbane’s Powerhouse, Royal Exchange Hotel, and Festival Hall showcased countless unforgettable performances. Festivals like Narara and the Sunshine Coast Music Festival brought fans together to celebrate their favourite artists in breathtaking settings, while the Countdown Spectacular spotlighted local talent on television, propelling many bands to national acclaim. “Best Years of Our Lives” invites you to relive the magic of this era, a time when music was not just entertainment but a way of life. Join us as we pay homage to the songs that shaped a culture, igniting a passion that still burns bright in the hearts of Australians today. Get ready to sing along, dance, and celebrate the spirit of pub rock—because these truly were the best years of our lives! The Band: Best Years of our Lives – The Band Wayne Daniels (Lead guitar + vocals + musical director/co-founder) Peter Fernance (Guitar + Vocals) Bayley Pearl (Vocals) Danielle Lo Passo (Keys + Backing Vocals) Chris McAllister (Drums) Michael Lotscher (Bass) www.bestyearsofourlives.com.au Can't make the event?

Newton Faulkner (UK)
SIGN UP FOR PRE-REGISTRATION HERE Multi-platinum UK artist Newton Faulkner releases his brand new single Gravitational and announces his 2026 first Australian album tour. The single is the latest taste of his forthcoming album OCTOPUS, which will be released on 6 March 2026 through Cooking Vinyl Records. Co-written with INK, Gravitational captures the jolt of connection that pulls you toward someone before you have even realised what is happening. The single blends rhythmic drive, layered vocals and flashes of synth and vocoder, showcasing the playful production style that defines Faulkner’s new era. “INK and I wrote this about someone completely catching you off guard and blowing your mind, like being pulled into a tractor beam,” Faulkner says. “I got to use all my toys on this one, even my vocoder. People still think of me as the acoustic wood and strings guy, but half my life is spent playing synths and messing with loops. I hope it is as fun to listen to as it was to make.” Gravitational follows the release of Hunting Season featuring Lissie and Los Bitchos and the distorted bass driven Alright Alright Alright, both of which introduced a new sonic direction for Faulkner built around collaboration, experimentation and a refreshed creative energy. The single release arrives alongside the announcement of a full Australian headline tour in April 2026, marking Faulkner’s long awaited return to the country he calls one of his favourite places to perform. “Australia has always felt like a second home for me", Faulkner says. “The crowds, the connection, the energy. I cannot wait to bring the new songs, the new album and new energy to the Australian stages.”
