Cold Chisel have announced that they will celebrate 50 years together with a truly unique tour … “The Big Five-0” In a surprising – but apt – move, this golden anniversary party will kick off on Saturday, 5 October in Armidale, where Cold Chisel based themselves back in 1974-1975 while Don Walker completed his university studies. The tour will then lap around major Australian cities for 7 weeks before culminating on Sunday, 17 November in the city where the band formed … Adelaide. “The Big Five-0” will be a night like no other.

Their anniversary provides scope for a show that features all the classic songs with which Cold Chisel carved their unique place in Oz Rock history – Khe Sanh, Bow River, Flame Trees, You Got Nothin’ I Want, When The War Is Over, My Baby, Cheap Wine, All For You, Choir Girl, Last Wave Of Summer, Saturday Night, Breakfast At Sweethearts, Forever Now and so many more.

The Gooch Palms - Unholy Resurrection Tour
Seismic Talent presents The Gooch Palms - Unholy Resurrection Tour with special guests TBA. After five long and excruciatingly boring years of a Gooch Palms free existence, the gruesome twosome are back in what is undoubtedly the hottest resurrection since Jesus Christ! In early 2020, after an amazing ten years of relentlessly touring the world and releasing many a catchy bop, The Gooch Palms were convinced they had come to the end of their musical journey. So they bid us all adieu and hearts were broken across the globe. Fast forward five years and here we are… everyone’s favourite bubblegum punks have decided that all the reasons they quit the band no longer matter and are back to slay another day! This spring they are hitting the road to bring Australia the first Goochies' tour since 2019. It will be as wild and unhinged as ever - in classic Gooch Palms style, so pull up your ass-less dancing chaps, pop on your party hats and get on down to the show! This is an 18 plus event.

Middle Kids
There is a question at the heart of Faith Crisis Pt 1, the third album from Sydney’s emotive indie trioMiddle Kids. Over 13 propulsive, ecstatic and gorgeous tracks, songwriter and vocalist Hannah Joy attempts to tease out the question of belief; the breaking of it, and how it is rebuilt. Co-produced by Tim Fitz and Jonathan Gilmore (The 1975, Beabadoobee), Joy and bandmates Fitz and Harry Day masterfully express the sensation of being overwhelmed, swept up and dragged down in songs that exalt and lift you higher. Featuring a collaboration with Gang of Youths frontman Dave Le’aupepe, Faith Crisis Pt 1 is brimming with yearning, angst, pop brightness, belief in love and reassurance that even from the bottom, it’s possible to believe in beautiful things. Middle Kids‘ last album Today We’re The Greatest won Best Rock Album at the 2021 ARIA Awards. Released at the height of the pandemic, the album garnered the band several US TV show performances including Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and The Late, Late Show with James Cordon. Middle Kids first gained attention in 2017 with their debut single, ‘Edge Of Town’ and their debut album, Lost Friends, which won Triple J’s Best Australian Album Award in 2018. The success of their albums has also earned the band an international touring profile which has included supporting shows with the likes of Bloc Party, Kings of Leon, War on Drugs and Cold War Kids and festivals such as The Governors Ball, Lollapalooza, Osheaga Festival and many more.
