SPIDERBAIT || Ivy & the big apples Tour

Legendary Aussie rockers Spiderbait today announce they will return to stages around the country this July, to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of their iconic 1996 album Ivy & The Big Apples. Very special guests Custard, Magic Dirt, The Meanies and Tumbleweed will join the party on select dates, as emerging Melbourne rockers The Gnomes warm audiences at all shows.

Spiderbait last toured in 2024 to widespread acclaim to mark the 20th Anniversary of their seminal album Tonight Alright, playing some of their best shows ever.

“a show of epic proportions” – Xpress Mag

“A truly remarkable, energetic, solid, rock ‘n’ roll show and milestone for the band.” – Australian Musician

Widely regarded as a defining moment in Australian alternative rock, Spiderbait’s third studio album, Ivy & The Big Apples, marked a major breakthrough for the band. The record debuted in the ARIA Top 3, went Double Platinum, and stayed in the Top 50 for nearly a year — a testament to its enduring impact and the strength of singles like ‘Calypso’ and ‘Hot Water & Milk’.

Featuring standout track ‘Buy Me a Pony’, which became the first Australian song to take the crown in triple j’s prestigious Hottest 100, the record captured the raw, youthful spirit of the time while pushing the boundaries of the local music scene. A fearless mix of punk, pop and alternative rock, the album cemented Spiderbait as one of Australia’s most important bands of the 90’s.

Australian rock ‘n roll royalty, and with a catalogue of music that’s distinctive and uncompromising, Spiderbait’s anticipated Ivy & The Big Apples 30th Anniversary Tour will see the band playing songs from their seminal album plus favourites from their extensive catalogue – Don’t miss out!

PRIMARY PERFORMANCE: SPIDERBAIT LIVE PERFORMANCE @ ICF WAREHOUSE

Tickets for this event are primarily for the Headline Artist performance in our ICF WAREHOUSE space.

Ice Cream Factory is a dynamic, multi-space precinct, and the site setup changes for every show. This means that other spaces within the venue like the ICF Outdoor or ICF Patio - and specific activations like the Silent Disco, specialty bars, tattoo parlours or pop-ups are not standard for every event. We scale the precinct to suit the artist and the energy of the night; if an area or activation isn't listed here for this specific show, it likely won't be part of the setup.

Please note that venue operating hours refer to the total time our bars, food, and social spaces are open. These are separate from artist performance times. Headline performances are curated by the artist’s team and may conclude prior to our final venue close time.

• Venue Opens: 6:00 PM
• Venue Closes: After headline act concludes

The Show vs. The Venue: Whilst Artist set times vary from show to show, our social spaces remain open pre and post-performances to allow guests time to socialise and enjoy the atmosphere until the venue close time.

Live music events are dynamic—travel delays, technical setups, and artist requirements mean things can change right up until the first note. Because we want you to have the most accurate info, we don't lock in set times until the day of the event.

Best Practice: We always recommend arriving early to catch the full program. Any times shared are indicative only and subject to change due to the nature of live touring and technical requirements.

Final Schedule: The best way to stay updated is to check our Instagram Stories @factorysummer from 3:00 PM on the afternoon of the show.

Valid 18+ ID Required: ICF is a strictly 18+ precinct. Current, valid photo ID (Drivers Licence, Passport, or WA Proof of Age card) must be presented for entry. No ID = No entry.

No Pass-Outs: We operate a strict no pass-out policy. Once you exit the precinct, re-entry is not permitted under any circumstances.

Refunds: Refunds, where applicable, will only be provided in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law, the Applicable Codes, or as otherwise expressly stated in these Terms of Sale.
