No delegrate or festival pass needed, just roll through on Monday 31st August for five hot acts - for free!
Featuring (Listed A-Z)
Divers (VIC)
Naarm quartet Divers are creating a world of shapeshifting moods. Thriving in their DIY environment, the band self-produces their music leading to a sound drifting in an ooze of indie-pop, post-punk and electronic experiments. They are building a house of intrigue, welcoming all who enter (when you're here you're family). Despite their diverse sound, they have built a high-energy live show gaining a wider audience with their recent release of their debut album in 2026.
Greatsouth (NZ)
Greatsouth is the musical project of Payton Taplin (Te Rarawa, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa), a Māori artist from Papakura, South Auckland. Blending indie rock, south pacific field recordings and taonga pūoro (traditional Māori instruments), Greatsouth's sound sits between raw guitar-driven music and cinematic, narrative-led production. His music is grounded in te ao Māori (the Māori worldview) and shaped by urban Māori experience - exploring ancestry, resistance, identity and belonging through a distinctly Aotearoa lens.
Los HOUSEPLANTS F.C. (QLD)
Psychedelic plantpunk BONK-rock, oozing with optimism while wrangling questions of world-ending denialism. That is at the roots of Los HOUSEPLANTS F.C., who bloom with dreamy synth riffs, crunchy drums and acid bass on a forest floor of shoe-gaze. In 2024 they proved DIY has no limits by recording their sparkling psych-pop debut EP ‘Are We Not Plants’ entirely on smartphones with a whopping budget of $0.00, staying true to their ethos of producing lo-fi danceable chaos.
Mim Jensen (NZ)
Aotearoa/New Zealand indie savant Mim Jensen is a trailblazer. Over the years of sharing hook-laden and emotional rock n’ roll across both sides of the Tasman Sea, she has graced countless festivals and headline shows. Rolling Stone Australia praised Mim as “quickly making a name for herself as one of the most exciting indie acts in the local game.”
Speira (QLD)
SPEIRA (pron. Spy-Ra) — a no-frills, female-fronted alternative rock band on a mission to bring it back to life.
