Harry Manx
Harry Manx is returning to Australia with a brand new album to share! The New York Times called him ‘deliciously addictive’ and said when you listen to Harry Manx ‘you are listening to an original.’ Seven time Maple Blues award winner, Folk Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, six Juno nominations.....welcome to the Harry Zone. Harry Manx has spent years fusing eastern musical traditions with the blues, switching effortlessly between conventional guitars, harmonica, and banjo and the decidedly different Mohan veena, a 20-stringed instrument invented by Manx’ Indian mentor Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. Manx is often referred to as the “Mysticssippi” Blues Man because musically Harry lives where the depth of Indian music meets the deep groove of the Blues. Blend Indian folk melodies with slide guitar blues, add a sprinkle of gospel and some compelling grooves and you’ll get Manx’s unique “mysticssippi” flavour. It’s hard to resist and keeps audiences coming back for more. Downbeat Magazine said that “Manx’s real talent lies in creating a place where Blues and Indian Classical are a seamless fit”. Billboard Magazine called Harry “Canada’s most expressive Blues player”. “Watching Harry play tonight I feel like I learned something new …. ” Bruce Springsteen (after seeing Harry perform “I’m On Fire” at the International Guitar Festival in NYC) “Harry’s real skill lays in creating a rare musical place where blues, country, folk and Indian classical music co-exist as some spirit force” Frank Hadley, Downbeat Magazine DETAILS:Date: 27 March 2026Doors: 7pmShow: 8pmTickets: $55+BF18+ Event

WITCHSKULL - Gold Coast
Canberra's Witchskull have become one of the most genuinely intriguing and bludgeoning bands in the scene today, injecting every last moment of their rampaging anthems with a jolting dose of lysergic menace in a lauded career spanning over a decade. Blending new wave British Heavy Metal and traditional Doom, coupled with an authentic insight into the occult and mesmerising lyrics, the band have topped the famed 'Doom Charts' and supported the likes of Church of Misery (JAP), Acid King (USA), 1000mods (GRE), Beastwars (NZ), Nashville Pussy (USA) and more. To the uninitiated, Witchskull have been carving their own unique niche in Australia’s Doom Metal scene, releasing four acclaimed full length albums along the way including 2023's 'Serpent Tide' (Rise Above Records), described as "an absolute beast of a record, absolutely massive especially in the riff department." The Sleeping Shaman Catch the trio in a rare Northern show run. "It’s hard to believe it’s been 7 years since we last played QLD! We had a ball on both previous trips North and are absolutely hanging to get back there." More a brotherhood than a band, Witchskull unleash a stripped back, groove driven primal sound with the aggression that you would expect a 3-piece Australian band to deliver. Presented by Beats Cartel. "One of the best doom shows anywhere in the world" - Doomed and Stoned Supports to be announced.
