BUY TICKETS HERE
BUY/STREAM LOVE BALLOON

Beloved Aussie rockers Ocean Alley have announced five massive new shows to their 2026 Summer run, celebrating their acclaimed new album Love Balloon.

With previously announced dates selling fast, the band will now extend their tour along the Australian coast and regional locations this March with shows presented by SummerSalt – kicking off at Exhibition Park, Canberra (7 March), then heading to Torquay Common (8 March), Speers Point Park in Lake Macquarie (14 March), Sunshine Coast Stadium (15 March) and wrapping up at Glenelg Beach, Adelaide (21 March). They’ll be joined by an all-star lineup including DIY heroes Skegss, American rock band Allah-Las (all shows except Adelaide), Byron Bay psychedelic rockers Babe Rainbow, Melbourne garage rockers The Grogans (Adelaide only), indie-rock five piece Mid Drift, indie/psych-pop pals Le Shiv and raw indie-rockers Seaside – making for one of the band’s biggest outdoor tours to date.

Fans can secure tickets via the Artist Presale from 9am on Thursday 30 October until 8am Friday 31 October local. Register for presale access at oceanalley.com.au.

These shows follow Ocean Alley’s capital city run in January, which will mark their largest ever headline dates, with stops in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Fremantle and Margaret River. East Coast shows feature Nothing But Thieves, Rainbow Kitten Surprise and Ruby Fields, while the West Coast welcomes Skegss, Ruby Fields and rising Perth outfit Smol Fish.

The tour comes on the heels of Love Balloon’s release – the band’s fifth studio album, which debuted at #1 on the ARIA Vinyl and Australian Album Charts, #3 on the ARIA Albums Chart and has remained in the Top 10 Australian Album Charts for six weeks. A journey through love and life in all its colour and chaos, the record is anchored by moments of light, vulnerability and connection, led by the luminous single “Drenched” and its nostalgic early-2000s-inspired video.

The new dates round out a huge 2025 for Ocean Alley – including their biggest headline show to date at London’s Alexandra Palace, two North American tours and their first South American shows across Brazil, Chile and Mexico. The band also made festival appearances at Lollapalooza, Sziget and Austin City Limits, as well as their breakthrough hit “Confidence” placing #65 in triple j’s Hottest 100 of Australian Songs.

With over 1 billion streams and a reputation for magnetic live performances, Ocean Alley have become one of Australia’s most successful musical exports. Across five albums – including 2022’s Low Altitude Living – the six-piece (Baden Donegal, Angus Goodwin, Lach Galbraith, Mitch Galbraith, Tom O’Brien and Nic Blom) continue to evolve their unmistakable sound. With chart success across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US – and nine Gold or higher accredited singles – Ocean Alley are stepping confidently into a bold new chapter, with stadium-sized ambition and an enduring global legacy in sight.

written by the partae

NEW YEAR, SAME START

FIELD DAY CELEBRATES 25 YEARS WITH SYDNEY RETURN ON NEW YEAR’S DAY

CARL COX & JAMIE JONES, DEBORAH DE LUCA, KÖLSCH, PATRICK MASON, PATRICK AND STÜM AMONG WORLD-CLASS NAMES SET TO PERFORM & BRAND NEW PRIDE STAGE DEBUTING IN 2026

A Sydney institution and New Year’s Day tradition, Field Day returns to add another chapter to its legacy with an epic celebration on Gadigal Country this New Year’s Day. Featuring a stacked lineup of Australian and international talent, the festival will once again fill The Domain with music, energy and community spirit.

Across three stages, the Field Day 2026 lineup brings together some of the biggest names in global dance music. Legendary British DJ Carl Cox teams up with Welsh producer Jamie Jones for solo and back-to-back sets that promise to keep Sydney moving well into the night.

Across three decades, Carl Cox has remained one of the UK’s most influential DJs. A multi-award winner at the DJ Awards, International Dance Music Awards and NME Awards, Cox has long been a mainstay at Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival. With five studio albums, countless singles, collaborations and remixes for Fatboy Slim, Sofi Tukker and deadmau5, his impact on electronic music is undeniable.

Speaking on his return, Cox said, “I’ll never forget seeing in the year 2000 on Bondi Beach. It’s great to be back with Fuzzy for another milestone, celebrating 25 years of Field Day.”

Jamie Jones, one of the UK’s defining electronic artists, has been shaping global dance culture since his 2006 debut. Voted Resident Advisor’s Top DJ of 2011, he has headlined clubs around the world, built a loyal following through his Paradise residency in Ibiza and played festivals including Coachella, Creamfields and Glastonbury.

Italian powerhouse Deborah De Luca brings her signature techno to Sydney following her 25-track album Hard Pop Vol. 2. Danish producer Kölsch joins the bill, performing material from his critically acclaimed 2025 release KINEMA. British producer and Trick label head Patrick Topping makes his Field Day debut, bringing remixes of Calvin Harris, Robyn and more alongside his standout single Want U.

Australian icons The Presets return with their unmatched live set. The ARIA-winning duo remain leaders in electronic music, commanding festival and club stages nationwide. Rising producer STÜM, whose Solar Safari Tour sold out in minutes across Australia, and Berlin-based Patrick Mason, known for his high-energy house and techno, also join the lineup.

The 2026 roster features ‘Shooting Stars’ duo Bag Raiders, Irish hitmakers Belters Only, and London’s BL3SS, representing the next wave of UK talent. Charlotte Plank brings her ClubLiminal EP back to Sydney, while ARIA-nominated CYRIL makes his debut with tracks from To the World and From Down Under. Fish56Octagon, drum and bass producer SOTA, and French-born, London-based DJ Swimming Paul round out the international lineup.

Field Day’s commitment to homegrown talent continues with Atomic Kiss, Chase Zera, Djanaba, Eva Charley, Jarred Baker, Jessi Lowkey, Tomgraaam, Troy Beman, Yemi Sul and ZOTDOTCOM each set to light up The Domain on New Year’s Day 2026.

Making its debut in 2026 is CAMP GROUND, a new stage dedicated to Sydney’s queer talent. Explaining its creation, organisers Fuzzy said;

 “Field Day has always been a space where LGBTQIA+ communities are welcome and celebrated. Queer artists and revellers have been a big part of Field Day’s 25 years of success, we’re thrilled to honour that by introducing CAMP GROUND to the festival in 2026 – curated by and for LGBTQIA+ communities, spotlighting some of Sydney’s best.”

Now celebrating its 25th year, Field Day remains one of Australia’s most loved festivals. With a lineup that reflects the momentum of electronic music both here and abroad, the event continues to prove its place at the heart of Sydney’s summer.

Inside FVTURE Bangkok: Michele Wang on Building Asia’s First Hyperclub and Redefining Nightlife

by the partae October 26, 2025
written by the partae

FVTURE Bangkok has been called Southeast Asia’s first “Hyperclub.” What does that term mean to you, and how do you see it redefining nightlife in this region?
To me, a Hyperclub is not just a club — it’s a fully immersive cultural experience. We want to break the traditional boundaries of nightlife by merging music, technology, visual art, fashion, and community into one ecosystem. “Hyper” isn’t just about being bigger — it represents an evolution in dimension. FVTURE embodies the next generation of entertainment — a space born from Bangkok’s energy, powered by Asia’s creative spirit.

You’ve built a 6,000-capacity venue from the ground up, right in the heart of Bangkok. What was the biggest challenge in bringing a project of this scale to life?
The biggest challenge was finding the balance between scale, functionality, and experience. We had to engineer every element — from acoustics and lighting to flow and comfort — while keeping the soul of the space alive. Being in the center of Bangkok also meant an incredible level of coordination. But beyond construction, the real challenge begins once we open — delivering world-class service and detail in every moment. No one has done something like this before here, and that’s exactly what fuels our motivation and passion.

FVTURE was designed to rival nightlife capitals like Ibiza, Las Vegas, and Berlin. What key elements do you think are essential to compete at that level?
To compete with those global destinations, the key is consistency of experience. Every detail — from sound and lighting to curation, service, and brand ethos — must align with one vision. We want FVTURE to be a place where world-class DJs, artists, and guests feel, “this could be anywhere in the world.” At the same time, we’re proud to showcase the unique soul of Asian nightlife — so that people from Ibiza, Vegas, or Berlin come here to feel something they’ve never felt before.

From L-Acoustics’ Asia’s-first L2 & L2D system to 1,000 sqm of LED displays — the technology behind FVTURE is incredible. How do you approach balancing innovation with atmosphere?
Technology should always serve emotion. From day one, our philosophy was clear: every technical choice must enhance the experience, not distract from it. The L-Acoustics system delivers unmatched depth and precision, while our visual architecture blends seamlessly with the building itself — immersive but never overwhelming. That’s what FVTURE is about: people first, experience first.

Bangkok’s creative and nightlife scene has exploded in recent years. How do you see FVTURE contributing to the city’s global cultural rise?
Bangkok is in the middle of a cultural renaissance. FVTURE aims to be a catalyst in that movement — amplifying the city’s creative energy. We’re working with local artists, labels, and collectives to make Bangkok’s voice heard globally, while bringing in top international brands and performers to foster cross-cultural exchange. Bangkok is already amazing — but we believe Bangkok deserves even better.

You’ve emphasized the importance of building the right team and culture behind FVTURE. What kind of environment are you fostering backstage?
Everyone on this team shares one vision — and we’re genuinely proud to build it together. We encourage bold ideas and ensure they’re executed with precision and passion. We’re not just running a club; we’re co-creating a better FVTURE. Every night here is the result of true collaboration — from sound and lighting to stage design, hospitality, and security. Every detail reflects teamwork and dedication, and that’s something we celebrate as much as the music itself.

As COO, how do you balance operational excellence with maintaining that sense of wonder and magic that nightlife depends on?
Operations are about creating sustainable structure, while nightlife is about the beauty of unpredictability. My role is to balance both. We have strong systems to guarantee quality, but we always leave room for surprise — through storytelling, programming, and design. Every visit to FVTURE should feel like the first time. That constant renewal is what makes it sustainable. A great business starts with great art — and every FVTURE night is a masterpiece.

With modular stages, VIP lounges, and space for touring shows and label takeovers — what kind of experiences can people expect once the doors open this December?
Expect world-class music programming, immersive audio-visual storytelling, and experiences that redefine space with every show. Our modular stage design ensures that no two nights will ever be the same. The venue itself is expansive — featuring nearly 2,000 square meters of dance floor, balcony-view VIP areas, and private VVIP rooms. Whether you’re a true music enthusiast, coming with friends for a night out, or seeking a more exclusive and intimate experience, there’s a place for everyone at FVTURE. We welcome each guest to find their own rhythm within the space. We’re preparing something truly special. The best is yet to come.

How do you see FVTURE shaping the next chapter of Asia’s electronic music movement, both locally and globally?
We want FVTURE to become a bridge between Asia and the world. By inviting international labels and artists while empowering local talent, we’re helping the region’s creative ecosystem grow stronger and more visible on the global stage. FVTURE isn’t just a venue — it’s a platform for Asia to be seen and heard.

Finally, after such a monumental build, what will be the moment that tells you — “we did it, this is FVTURE”?
That moment will be when the lights come on, the music drops, and thousands of people move together for the first time. When I see their energy, their smiles, their freedom — I’ll know we made it. FVTURE isn’t just a space; it’s an emotional resonance we all share. Every performance on that stage will be a reflection of our team’s effort, passion, and love. That’s the moment we’ll all feel it — FVTURE is now.

Sydney underdogs SoSo search for ‘Something More’ with new single

by the partae October 26, 2025
written by the partae

Boldly self-projected #1 album So Much For Second Chances 

due out November 14

Album tour kicks off October 31 in Newcastle

STREAM HERE

Alt-punk underdogs SoSo today return with their new single ‘Something More’, lifted from their eagerly awaited upcoming album So Much For Second Chances out November 14. Stream ‘Something More’ HERE and pre-order the album HERE. Written about the age-old struggle of pursuing an artistic dream while working the nine-to-five grind, frontman Rhys de Burgh says the new single is one that’s close to the band’s heart.

“Essentially, it’s a reflection of where each of the band members is at – we each hold down careers to fund our dream of doing what we love for a living, which is making music. Throwing everything we have into SoSo with the hope it’ll take off so we can escape the 9-5 jobs we despise, but deep down understanding that it might never happen for us.” – Rhys de Burgh, SoSo frontman 

It’s a track with strong thematic ties to the band’s ambitious yet data-backed goal of securing an ARIA #1 for So Much For Second Chances. As an independent band, achieving that goal will take a village, and the band have called upon their fiercely loyal fanbase to help them get there – “we’ve only got a shot at this thanks to fans like you guys who support us so much.” 

Backed by a burgeoning fanbase both at home and abroad, and with millions of streams and multiple sold out shows to their name, SoSo have been making waves on their own terms. Rhys took matters into his own hands last year, opting to leave his previous nine-to-five to focus full time on the band and chase that dream. Setting out to rewrite the playbook on independent artist marketing, he poured hours of his time into understanding how to best reach future fans and engage SoSo’s existing supporters, and in the year since, has grown the band’s mailing list to over 10,000 Australian subscribers.

Working with acclaimed producer Stevie Knight (Yours Truly / Stand Atlantic / Between You & Me), So Much For Second Chances sees the band evolve their songwriting and sound, embracing melodic pop vocal hooks and incorporating samples, synths and heavier production. At its core though, the record is still true to SoSo – ambitious, playful, and unmistakably their own.

So Much For Second Chances is available for pre-order via www.sosopunx.com, and tickets for their upcoming headline tour are on sale now HERE.

nightdive share haunting new single “Occulent” ahead of support shows with Ladders On Tables

by the partae October 26, 2025
written by the partae

Sydney alternative metal newcomers nightdive continue to turn heads with the release of their haunting new single “Occulent”, out everywhere today. The track arrives as the band prepare to launch it live, supporting Ladders on Tables – the new project from Trenton Woodley (formerly of Hands Like Houses) – at upcoming shows in Newcastle and Sydney in November. Tickets on sale now.

“Occulent” was mixed and mastered by Simon Grove (Plini, Intervals, Protest The Hero) with drum engineering by Mitta Norath. Lyrically, the song is a haunting reflection on mortality and the psychological weight of illness. “The song moves through the experience from multiple angles: the person living inside a failing body, the friends and family watching from the edges, and the lingering ache of loss that outlives the diagnosis,” says the band.

“It’s not just about death – it’s about the slow erosion of hope, the fragility of connection, and the quiet persistence of love in the face of it all. It’s an exploration of what it means to lose control of your body, your world, and the people who make it feel worth saving.”

Formed only this year, nightdive is Sam Thomlinson on vocals and guitar, Mitch Clews on guitar, Jared Philips on guitar and Jack Robert on drums. The band have already made a confident entrance into Australia’s heavy music scene, with early support from triple j, Unearthed and tens of thousands of digital streams. Their sound lands with a weight that belies their short existence, showcasing an all-consuming clash of light and dark, ambience and volatility mixed with melody and menace. Flaunting a sound not unlike that of Deftones, Underoath, and Thornhill, nightdive are already staking their claim among Australia’s rising alternative heavyweights.

Blending dense guitars with evocative textures and introspective lyricism, the band sets out to craft music that sits somewhere between heavy and vulnerable, exploring the moments that linger in the aftermath. The quartet are currently at work on a four-track collection, due early 2026, each track serving as a descent into the emotional undercurrents that define the band’s identity – immersive and unflinchingly human.

“Occulent” is available and streaming everywhere now.

SPEED RELEASE ALL MY ANGELS EP + SHARE INTENSE MUSIC VIDEO FOR ‘ALL MY ANGELS’

by the partae October 24, 2025
written by the partae
Photo by Jack Rudder

RESPECT FOR SPEED

“SPEED does not exist for the sake of just being a band… they want to keep the hardcore scene that shaped them alive, and ensure the baton gets passed to the next generation”
Rolling Stone

“Only One Mode’s vulnerability is bracing and courageous, strength from emotional transparency. It’s a love letter to the hardcore community and to the band itself, a unit forged from ever-deepening mateship, loyalty and support”
Sydney Morning Herald

“Uncompromising and undeniable. The Australian upstarts cement their status as hardcore’s most exciting band, with a debut album that stays true to their rapid-fire roots”
NME Magazine

“ONLY ONE MODE stays true to what has made SPEED a ceiling-shattering hardcore band. While some hardcore thrives because it feels like a frenzied fight between instruments, SPEED’s songs feel like a symphony that’s conjuring a storm in perfect harmony”
COMPLEX

“In the past five years, this Sydney band has redefined Australian
hardcore music for a new generation of fans”

GQ Australia

Today SPEED unleash the three song ALL MY ANGELS EP available through Last Ride Records and Flatspot Records. Alongside it comes an intense performance-style video for title track ‘ALL MY ANGELS‘, which was jointly directed by Jack Rudder, Thomas Elliott, and SPEED. The video features friends and family across the Australian hardcore community and the globe, including Flatspot Records team-mates Whispers (Thailand). WATCH HERE + LISTEN TO EP HERE + PURCHASE VINYL + MERCH  HERE.

ALL MY ANGELS was produced, recorded and mixed by Elliott Gallart at The Chameleon Studios and sees the band reflecting on the passing of three close friends in recent years. Those events brought intense heartbreak to their community, but over time, they’ve magnified what SPEED have always held as their central ethos: To love unconditionally, without fear or regret.

The three songs reflect on grief while honouring the memories of those lost, and mark the band’s heaviest hitting material to date. Lyrics on the EP address the sobering realities of loss, and include musings on mortality – more vulnerable and raw than ever before. The title track ends with a direct statement of intent; “All my angels, I can’t give up.”


WATCH: ALL MY ANGELS (Official Movie)

Of the title track, vocalist Jem Siow reveals ‘ALL MY ANGELS‘ “wrestles through the immense hurt and confusion that comes with the loss of those deeply loved, especially in the instance of suicide… in striving towards their image and paying forward the lessons they bestowed to us, we can inch closer to not letting their deaths lie in vain.”

SPEED is Jem Siow (vocals), Aaron Siow (bass), Josh Clayton (guitar), Dennis Vichidvongsa (guitar), and Kane Vardon (drums). Having gained prominence with 2024 full-length ONLY ONE MODE, they have had a whirlwind year, from performing across the globe to playing Coachella to just wrapping up a US tour supporting Turnstile.

On October 25th the band will celebrate the EP release with a show at roller rink Xanadu in Brooklyn, NY alongside End It and MSPAINT. From there, SPEED will fly to Europe for an eleven date tour supporting Malevolence with Dying Wish and Psycho-Frame. The band will bring it home to Australia with appearances at Rolling Sets, a Hardcore Xmas show with End It, Algor Mortis, Antenna, Scram and Hail Mary on Dec 7th, and Flatspot / Last Ride World on December 14th.

Ziggy Alberts caps off biggest year yet with latest single ‘Cyclones’

by the partae October 24, 2025
written by the partae

Photo Credit: Jack Dekort

2025 has been a landmark year for Ziggy Alberts.

He kicked off the year with his seventh studio album ‘New Love’, a record that has since amassed over 30 million streams in its first six months. He hit the road with a 105-date world tour – selling out esteemed venues across Europe and North America, including a sold-out Royal Albert Hall in London just last night. To top it off, he’s coming home to close out the year with a final run of capital city shows – including his first arena performance at Melbourne’s Margaret Court Arena.

He now returns with ‘Cyclones’ – an energetic, sun-soaked single destined to soundtrack the summer. Blending Ziggy’s signature lyrical vulnerability with a more atmospheric folk-pop sound, ‘Cyclones’ is both an earworm and an evolution in his sound, marking continued growth from acoustic storyteller to genre-blending craftsman.

On the songwriting process, Ziggy comments that “This song first landed on my lap in Fiji on a surf trip in 2024. I raced back from coffee, and managed to catch it then and there. It’s so easy to blame the weather for our own stormy lives. I know I do it all the time. It’s looking back and seeing old habits still being true. And thinking that, it doesn’t matter if things weren’t going to last forever, it’s just asking myself – did I really do enough? Or did I just walk away like I always do? It’s about being attracted to chaos, like a moth to a flame; you know it’s a mess in the making but you can’t help it sometimes.”

Single Art by Jack Dekort

With over 1.3 billion global streams, multiple ARIA Platinum and Gold certifications, and three APRA Awards for Most Performed Blues & Roots Work, Ziggy has quietly built one of the most successful independent music careers in Australia.

His breakout hit ‘Runaway’ has surpassed 118 million Spotify streams, is 3× Platinum in Australia, 1x Platinum in New Zealand and Gold in Canada, and continues to resonate a decade on. Songs like ‘Love Me Now’, ‘Laps Around the Sun’ (3× Platinum), and ‘Gone’ (2× Platinum) have anchored his rise from street busker to global touring artist.

His touring footprint spans Europe, the UK, North America, South America, and Southeast Asia. Recent tours saw 3,500+ cap sell-outs in Germany, debut performances in Brazil and Mexico, and a six-month advance sell-out at Royal Albert Hall – proving his grassroots global appeal remains as strong as ever.

His upcoming Homecoming tour will see Ziggy hitting some of the biggest stages of his career in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne later next month, including his first ever arena show at Margaret Court Arena. The tour will be entirely all ages, and will promote Ziggy’s commitment to the Green Touring Initiative – an initiative founded by Ziggy, that focuses on reducing environmental impact, educating fans on local causes, and giving back to the communities that host these special shows. Ziggy will be joined by South African singer-songwriter Jeremy Loops on all dates, with Sydney’s The Beautiful Girls jumping on the Brisbane and Melbourne legs, & Azure Ryder opening up the show in Sydney.

“I’m beyond stoked to return to Australia after all this time, and to be joining Ziggy for these homecoming shows means a lot.

When we met in South Africa it was like meeting a kindred spirit – same passion for acoustic music, the ocean, and simple truth. I can’t wait to share those moments with new ears down under.”
JEREMY LOOPS

Cyclones doesn’t just close out a record year – it’s a signal of what’s to come: bolder production, deeper songwriting, and the same uncompromising independence that’s powered Ziggy Alberts’ journey from busking street corners to the world stage.

PRAISE

“Alberts has proven time and again that his back-to-basics approach to production and songwriting has left him one of the most reliably authentic artists on the scene.”
POP WRAPPED (US) 

“[New Love is] an upbeat folk song with a lively foot-stomping rhythm that just begs you to get up and dance. Perfectly tailored for the crowds on the Aussie songwriter’s upcoming world tour.”
ROLLING STONE AUSTRALIA 

“You could say we’re making space for a permanent residency in Manchester – we don’t want him to leave…The crowd have been so captivated by this man and his guitar that we didn’t realise almost two hours had passed by…a phenomenal show.”
THE MANC (UK) 

“Tonight was simply unforgettable…His performance was nothing short of mesmerizing, leaving me completely in awe. Ziggy’s masterful guitar playing and captivating music created an electrifying atmosphere that resonated deeply with everyone in the audience.”
SCOTTISH MUSIC NETWORK 

“For fans who’ve been following Ziggy’s career from day dot, his increasing popularity wouldn’t come as a shock. To everyone else, the Ziggy story is probably still something of a surprise. He’s a self-made success, and it’s a grassroots swell plenty of people are getting behind”

Hazlett (AUS): Indie-folk troubadour announces the Coming Home Tour – debut headline AU & NZ dates for Jan/Feb 2026

by the partae October 24, 2025
written by the partae

Frontier Touring is excited to announce indie-folk singer-songwriter, Hazlett, will bring his Coming Home Tour to Australia and New Zealand for the first time in January and February 2026.

Following the release of his highly anticipated album last night you said you missed me, the Australian-born, Swedish-based singer will return home, performing debut shows at Astor Theatre, Perth on Tuesday 27 January, Princess Theatre, Brisbane on Saturday 31 January, Sydney’s Metro Theatre on Tuesday 3 February, Melbourne’s Corner Hotel on Thursday 5 February and Lion Arts Factory, Adelaide on Friday 6 February, before heading over to Auckland for a final show at The Tuning Fork on Sunday 8 February.

Frontier Members can access the presale from 10am local time on Thursday 30th October, before tickets go on sale from 11am local time on Friday 31st October. Tickets and tour information via frontiertouring.com/hazlett.

After a whirlwind few years, releasing his debut album Bloom Mountain in 2023, to opening for Noah Kahan at BST Hyde Park just two years on, Hazlett’s fast-growing popularity lays testament to what is to come for indie-folk’s next biggest star.

Hazlett’s unique brand of “Indie Ballroom Folk” has gained global attention from his home in Stockholm, Sweden to his native Brisbane, Australia, which led to the highly-anticipated September release of the singer’s latest album last night you missed me, which has impressed both fans and critics alike.

“last night you said you missed me feels like a record that demands something deep and meaningful – that’s certainly what it gives” – Clash Magazine
“It’s an album of contrasts – between the personal and the universal, between light and shade, between ease and agitation, between regret and nostalgia.” – Holler Country 

Hazlett’s propensity for figuring things out himself and turning chaos into some kind of nostalgic lesson hasn’t gone unnoticed either, with The Line of Best Fit noting “Hazlett is offering up a hazy, textured version of the classic singer-songwriter sound”.

 Following a summer of standout festival sets and headline shows, the singer is now taking the Hazlett And Company Tour across the world – with dates already sold out in Europe, UK and North America – before the Brisbane-native makes his anticipated return home to Australia and New Zealand.
A performer with a distinctive yet comforting sound, there’s this newfound quiet confidence to the troubadour from the land down under. You may not have met, but sometimes when you’re listening to Hazlett he feels like the only friend you’ve ever had. ​
Hailed as one to watch, don’t miss these mesmerising shows as Hazlett returns for the Coming Home Tour in January and February 2026.

Allah Lahs Announce 2026 Australian Tour Dates

by the partae October 22, 2025
written by the partae

Los Angeles’ rock mainstays Allah-Las are heading back to Australia in March 2026 for a run of headline shows in Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Byron Bay and Perth.

Following a busy run of international shows across the globe, the band will bring their sun-baked sound back to Australian shores for the first time since releasing Zuma 85 full-length LP and latest instrumental singles “Countryman ‘82” b/w “Dume Room.”

For more than a decade, Allah-Las have distilled the atmosphere of California’s coastlines and cityscapes into a sound that drifts between surf, folk and rock. Across albums including Allah-Las, Worship The Sun, Calico Review, LAHS and Zuma 85, they’ve developed a rich catalogue steeped in warm analog tones and timeless melodies. Having toured the world, the band’s live show has become a transportive journey through the band’s ever-evolving catalogue.

Tickets are expected to move quickly, with past Australian tours selling out in advance. Don’t snooze.

SLEAFORD MODS Announce new album The Demise of Planet X Out 16 January via Rough Trade New single ‘The Good Life’ out now 2026 AU + NZ tour on sale now

by the partae October 22, 2025
written by the partae

Sleaford Mods will release their new album, The Demise Of Planet X, on 16 January 2026 via Rough Trade Records / Remote Control Records. The record is available to pre-order and pre-save now.

Sleaford Mods will return to Australian and New Zealand shores in April 2026, playing shows in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Wellington and Auckland. Tickets are on sale now via https://www.handsometours.com/tours/sleaford-mods-2026/.

Andrew Fearn and Jason Williamson’s most expansive and ambitious release to date, the album features a rare guest appearance from former Life Without Buildings frontwoman Sue Tompkins, plus collaborations with Aldous Harding, soul singer Liam Bailey and grime MC Snowy, the latter two both hailing from band’s hometown Nottingham.

In her first foray into music, actress Gwendoline Christie (Wednesday/Severance/Game Of Thrones) also joins Midlands band Big Special on Sleaford Mods new single ‘The Good Life‘, which is released today accompanied by a video directed by Ben Wheatley (The Kill List/A Field In England/Bulk).

Boasting the duo’s most varied and expressive musical approach so far, The Demise Of Planet X charts, critiques and satirises our times, while offering a universal cry of anger and release of energy that pushes against the encroaching cultural darkness.

Contemplating the world coming to an end not with a big bang but in slowly rising tide of irritating mundanity, The Demise Of Planet X strikes back with vivid sonics, acerbic words, enveloping atmospheres and a engaging wit across 13 tracks that will move hearts, minds and feet.

“The Demise Of Planet X represents a life lived under immense uncertainty, shaped by mass trauma,” declares frontman Jason Williamson. “When we wrote the last album, it was about stagnation, a country that felt like a lifeless corpse. Three years later, that corpse has been split open by war, genocide, and the lingering psychological fallout of Covid whilst social media has mutated into a grotesque, twisted form of digital engineering. It feels like we’re living among the ruins. A multi-layered abomination etched into our collective psyche.”

He adds: “I don’t want to pat myself on the back while the rest of the world falls to shit, but we’re really happy with The Demise Of Planet X. The music and ideas are really fresh and it’s in your face, but it pays to put your glasses on to look at the ingredients.”

First single, the aforementioned ‘The Good Life’, captures this mix of public and personal apocalypse, as Andrew Fearn’s urgent beats and enticing melodies combine with Williamson’s machine gun diction to chart the impact of some of the Sleaford Mods’ frontman’s more infamous comments on the current music scene. Big Special and Gwendoline Christie give voice to his conflicted and tormented inner voices mopping up the fallout his outburst cause.

“’The Good Life’ talks about slagging bands off and the joy and misery that causes me. I’m asking myself why am I slagging bands off. Why is it a continuing thing with me? My inner voices are brought to life by Gwendoline and Big Special, debating that internal tension between me enjoying a good life or submitting to the mayhem,” explains Williamson.

The track’s video, available to watch now via the band’s YouTube channel, brings these voices together in the flesh under Ben Wheatley’s charismatic direction.

“It’s brilliant to be working with Andrew and Jason again on a Mods promo, this time teaming up with the amazing Gwendoline Christie and Big Special,” declares the British director who was previously responsible for Sleaford Mods’ Mork n Mindy video. “I’m a long-time fan so it’s always exciting to get the call to come out to play.”

Alongside ‘The Good Life’, the album features cliche-bursting 2025 single ‘Megaton’, ‘Elitest G.O.A.T.’ with its light-as-cloud guest vocals from Aldous Harding, the reflective, toxic masculinity pricking ‘Bad Santa’ and the Magic Roundabout-infused bouncy rap of the title track.

Nottingham singer-songwriter Liam Bailey adds a soulful lament to world-weary MAGA takedown ‘Flood The Zone’; grime rapper Snowy drops decisive bars on ‘Kill List’s’ horror hip hop (its central imagery inspired by Ben Wheatley’s film of the same), while for ‘No Touch’ Sleaford Mods managed to lure Sue Tompkins from the much-missed Life Without Buildings back into the studio. Duetting with Williamson, the pair’s distinctly human voices intertwine over a slinky bass and music box keyboard motif.

Several limited-edition versions of The Demise Of Planet X will be available on release, which can be pre-ordered now.

For the next 48 hours only, an exclusive ‘black label’ starlight sparkle vinyl version of the album will be available via the band’s mailing list. A glow in the dark edition, boasting a luminous LP and glow in the dark gatefold sleeve design is available from the band and Rough Trade Records’ webstores, while independent record shops are selling an exclusive, neon green marbled edition. The album will also be available on black vinyl, CD and cassette, the latter coming in a fetching shade of toxic green.

Additionally, in a salute to their hometown, the ‘Nottz picture-disc’ edition will be exclusively on sale only from shops within Nottingham.

The Demise Of Planet X follows Sleaford Mods’ 2023 state-of-the-nation album, UK GRIM, the duo’s most successful record to date which earned them their highest UK chart position, going straight in at Number 3. As previously announced, Sleaford Mods will hit the road following its release.

PARIS WELLS & FINLEY FRANÇOIS set to celebrate the release of their collaborative album ‘LOUNGE OF THE FLAMINGO’ at Melbourne launch

by the partae October 22, 2025
written by the partae

Acclaimed Melbourne-based songwriters Paris Wells & Finley François are gearing up to debut their new project – set to play through their album ‘Lounge Of The Flamingo’ for the very first time on the 27th of November at George Lane in Melbourne. 

Released in August this year, ‘Lounge Of The Flami ngo’ is a lush, Latin-inspired lounge masterpiece. Drawing subtle influences from Nouvelle Vague, Astrud Gilberto, and Cesária Évora, the project highlights Wells’ & Francois’ versatility, refined artistry and a 20-year working partnership. 

Paris Wells has had a career full of achievements and milestones over the last two decades. She’s supported the likes of Rod Stewart, Justin Timberlake, Robyn & Plan B on tour and played at festivals such as Falls Festival, Big Day Out, Meredith, Sydney Music Festival and the 2010 AFL Grand Final. She has collaborated with international DJs such as Kaz James, and made TV appearances on Spicks & Specks, Adam Hills In Gordon Street, Good News Week & Rockwiz. She toplined for Bliss N’ Eso’s ‘Field of Dreams’, taken from the ARIA Award winning album ‘Flying Colours’ (2012) and shot to worldwide fame with her single ‘Overbite’ which was used by Elie SaaB for their Cannes Film Festival campaign in 2014. To this day she has over 1 millions streams to her name, across her catalogue. 

Finley “pHinioUS” François, originally from the picturesque shores of Mauritius and now based in the vibrant hub of Naarm, is a multifaceted artist in music. His journey, marked by curiosity and creativity, began with spinning vinyl at parties and has evolved into crafting a rich tapestry of sounds as a DJ, producer, and musician. His early career included airplay on Kiss FM and being part of Fizard, one of Australia’s pioneering live hip hop groups that won Triple J’s Unearthed competition in 2003. Over the years he has been commissioned to write music for various shows and installations, including projects for NICA and Arts Access; has performed at iconic festivals such as Mona Foma, the Adelaide Fringe Festival, the Cabaret Festival, St Kilda Festival, and Womadelaide; & has shared the stage and collaborated with artists such as GrandMaster Flash, Chris Brown, Rod Stewart, Kelly Rowland and most recently Snoop Dogg at the 2025 AFL Grandfinal along with the likes of Jessica Mauboy, Tash Sulatana and Baker Boy.

‘Lounge Of The Flamingo’ sees the pair hitting new heights collaboratively – with a sexy-stillness and persistent groove throughout the LP that doesn’t force the big moments, but reels you in with a confident calmness and attention to detail. Wells and François were a well-oiled machine at the time of recording, with Wells’ explaining “The team in this project was so solid and the happy musical partnership with Finley really shines through, we are a the point of finishing each others sentences, that shit takes time, this is my/our best body of work yet.”

Thematically, the album is less social commentary, and more of a reflection of Wells’ life right at this moment; “this time I was determined to capture not only humor, but calm and passion and family. I refuse to make any more ‘sad vagina’ music, I’m a happily married mum, shit can be hard but I want to give people the calm we all strive for. The Lounge of the Flamingo cares not about your social pages, Kardashian cages and your friends with strangers. It cares not about keeping up with the Joneses, or running away with the crowd. The Lounge only asks for your calm, so sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.”

Recorded live at the Frying Pan Studios housed within the iconic MONA gallery in Tasmania, Wells was pregnant throughout the session – described by the pair as ‘sitting down like a ripe queen’ throughout the process. The album also features vocals from Kylie Audist (the Bamboos, Cookin’ on 3 Burners) on ‘Down In Mexico’, as well as a string composition from renowned Tasmanian composer Dean Stevenson & his orchestra for ‘Strange Days’.

Talking on that time writing and recording at MONA, François comments;“What’s not to love about Afro Latin music! Paris and I spent many years backstage & on the road speaking about a jazz base album as a side project, but that didn’t stick for me. When the opportunity to record at the newly built Frying Pan Studio, Paris mentioned she’d been diggin’ some lounge vibe tunes. I said “yes” let’s do that! Flamingo was born! My  journey on piano started with Afro Latin jazz music so it was a beautiful place to return too, our reinterpretations of  the covers was a dope process- rock to lounge! There’s always a positive energy in this genre, a celebration of all that is life! 

Tickets for their launch show in Melbourne on the 27th of November are available now. On what fans can expect from the special performance, the duo say; “Think Peggy Lee meets Karen Meets Astrid Gilburto. Lounge of the flamingo could easily be Bad Bunnies Aussie warm up band without wanting to speak to the manager after”

Southeast Asia’s largest hyperclub FVTURE Bangkok to debut this December

by the partae October 21, 2025
written by the partae

The 6000-capacity space promises a full spectrum experience with game changing light and sound 

A nightlife revolution is coming to central Bangkok with the opening of FVTURE, a new global nightlife landmark built to hold a staggering 6,000 people. FVTURE is the first Asian Hyperclub to be built on this vast scale and is the most technologically adventurous venue in the region. It has been built from scratch with a unique vision and unwavering passion that will set a new benchmark in entertainment, sound and immersive design. FVTURE is set to launch this December.

Designed to rival the most iconic venues across Ibiza, Las Vegas and Berlin, FVTURE is a leap into tomorrow; a purpose-built, next-generation hyper club where cutting-edge audio-visual technology and world-class electronic music converge in one multi-sensory explosion. 

FVTURE arrives at a pivotal time for Thailand’s creative economy as the government opens the doors to global events like Tomorrowland, EDC, Creamfields and Circoloco. Until now, Bangkok has lacked a singular venue capable of hosting artists and audiences on an international scale. FVTURE fills that void and then some.

With state-of-the-art production, VIP lounges, modular side stages and a calendar open to global touring shows, label takeovers and live performances, FVTURE is poised to position Bangkok firmly at the heart of the Asian electronic music scene. 

Say Co-founders Victor and Michele Wang, “FVTURE is a statement of intent. Bangkok has long deserved a venue that stands alongside the global greats and that’s exactly what we’ve built. From sound to visuals to community, we’ve designed FVTURE from the ground up to really break into new frontiers and give Asia the truly mind-blowing club it’s long deserved. The team we build is key to this – we put big importance on personality when hiring staff and only bring onboard people that are excited about FVTURE. This helps us set exactly the right and define the special character of the whole project.”

FVTURE’s main room is powered by the first ever L2 & L2D L-Acoustic system in Asia, boasting over 40 subwoofers and a multi-array configuration for unparalleled sound clarity and punch. Visuals are equally mind-blowing with 500sqm of LED wall at the front and another 500sqm of modular LED throughout the venue creating a 360° visual playground. .

FVTURE is the brainchild of a team with deep roots in nightlife, music and international hospitality: Victor Wang brings expertise in cross-border nightlife operations. COO Michele Wang is a seasoned operations leader driving long-term sustainability and execution and Pablo Vas is an acclaimed music director and DJ behind concepts like Down Temple and Tucan Bangkok who will lead FVTURE’s sound and programming.

FVTURE is built to welcome Bangkok locals, regional tastemakers and international ravers. With a huge capacity, sound and visuals designed to stun, and a team dedicated to elevating the scene, FVTURE is here to reshape the future of clubbing in the region.
