The Scene & Heard team are gearing up to bring festivalgoers one helluva show in 2022, and we can’t wait! With a new date locked in for Sunday March 13 at Wickham Park, with this news comes the announcement of some new friends set to join us, which we’re sure you’re going to love.
Joining Grinspoon, Ratcat, Frenzal Rhomb, COG and Caligula, we welcome back festival favourites – the hard-hitting, mighty rock trio that is, Spiderbait. With seven albums (5 of which went Top 20), 2x ARIA Awards (from a whopping 19 nominations) and a stack of radio hits under their belts, including the #1 chart-topper Black Betty, you’ll get nothing but a blistering performance from this acclaimed super-charged unit when they blast out fan favourites & classics such as Buy Me a Pony, Calypso, Monty, Black Betty and more…
Also rolling into Wickham Park will be none other than Australia’s finest alternative psych-fuzz-rock acts, Tumbleweed. Throughout the nineties/early noughties, if you didn’t come across the 5-piece at a packed-out gig, festival or performing alongside the likes of Nirvana, Iggy Pop, Fugazi etc… where were you? Celebrating their 30th anniversary this year, the ‘weed will no doubt have plenty of material to choose from when they hit the stage. From their five classic albums, Tumbleweed, Galactaphonic, Return to Earth, Mumbo Jumbo & Sounds from the Other Side, featuring standout crowd faves Sundial, Atomic, Daddy Long Legs and Carousel…through to the band’s latest singles Rebellion & Shadowland, this will be one performance you won’t want to miss.
Adding to the mix will be our very own hometown Ska-Punk heroes, The Porkers. Always a favourite on the live circuit, from local & international festivals (Vans Warped USA) to sharing stages with the likes of Rancid, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, No Doubt & Bad Manners, you’re in for a damn good time when Pete Porker and the band pull out favourites such as Too Big for Your Boots, Goin’ Off, Aloha Steve & Danno, through to new singles The Good Egg, Big Baby Man and more…
Providing the killer beats and plenty of grooves over on the Don’t Come Monday stage – you’ll get critically acclaimed, ARIA Award nominated breakbeats DJ Kid Kenobi, as well as the DISCOVERY “DAFT PUNK TRIBUTE” SHOW and MINX…and there’s more to be announced.
We’re here to stay – thanks for holding onto your tickets in support of the artists and our much-loved live music industry. Big thanks also to the artists who have supported us along the way. We look forward to seeing you all at Scene & Heard 2022.

Today Body Type drop their first new music in three years, ‘Sex & Rage‘ with the reveal of their debut album, Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing’s Surprising, out May 20 via Poison City Records. LISTEN + WATCH ‘SEX & RAGE’ HERE.
Rife with frisky guitars and skittish percussion that soars into the chorus, ‘Sex & Rage‘ is a corrosive display of extremes. The doggerel of desire, angst, and euphoria set alight with a rousing plea for exuberance and exhilaration in the face of banality and boredom. Moulding the feel-good indie prowess that saw the band fast rise, ‘Sex & Rage‘ ushers in a new era of Body Type. A ragged rock-punk hybrid, savagely unapologetic in intent and delivery.
Speaking to the release, vocalist Sophie shares “‘Sex & Rage’ is a reflection on finding passion amidst feverish banality. When you are uninspired, when you feel sad that the general public would rather look at their phone screens than what’s hanging on the walls of the Louvre; when lovers leave you just like they always do and everything feels like a cliché – remember the feelings that set you aflame, and the things that make those feelings happen. For me, it’s Body Type and cryptic crosswords.”
Named after and dedicated to writer Eve Babitz‘s cult novel, ‘Sex & Rage‘ is a culmination of the world that Body Type will birth on Everything Is Dangerous But Nothing’s Surprising. In the wake of back-to-back tours and releases, Sophie McComish, Annabel Blackman, Cecil Coleman, and Georgia Wilkinson-Derums regrouped in early 2020, to record their debut album eight days – shortly before they would become separated by the pandemic.
With the release Body Type reconvene their collaborative relationship with music video director Madeline Purdy. Speaking to the visual elements, she reveals “We wanted to show an overabundance of unorthodox, freakish human beauty, but have it stop before total chaos. The strict confines of an audition room setting tinged every character with an inherent yearning to be liked by their audience. The clip had to show that sex and rage are inherent in every human being, but create different characters of us all. Despite that, we’re all on the same stage, singing the same song.”
Like Babitz’s prose, the album is exultant, effusive, playful, cutting, and maybe most significantly, incandescent in its fury. It’s an album all about yanking back control, embracing abandon and purging despair, told through the grizzly margins of rock and punk. Recorded and mastered by Jonathan Boulet, and entirely self-funded, the album sounds joyfully anarchic, bursting with life and autonomy.
Andrew Hayden, the owner of record store and label Poison City Records, is thrilled to announce the news of the band’s signing. He shares, “We fell in love with Body Type after coming across their early EPs a while back – the tracks ’Stingray’ and ‘Palms’ felt especially infectious and exciting, so obviously we’re delighted to be working with Body Type on their debut album this year! Body Type’s attitude and approach to the wide world of independent music is a great fit for Poison City and musically we hear a magical blend of soulful indie-rock and fierce angular-pop that feels urgent and relevant to these modern times.”
Since first forming in 2016, Body Type have shared acclaimed EPs, EP1 and EP2 to global fever and critical acclaim from DIY, NME, Dork, The Line Of Best Fit, The FADER, Stereogum, KEXP, Apple Music’s Matt Wilkinson, BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, triple j’s Declan Byrne and many more. In between support stages with Fontaines D.C., Big Thief, Cate Le Bon, POND, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Frankie Cosmos, Rolling Blackouts Coast Fever and more, the group have also performed across SXSW, The Great Escape, and headline tours in the US and UK, including a recorded session at the BBC‘s Maida Vale studios.

With the release comes a dynamic music video that is a rambunctious homage to the classic film, shot by Videohead (Phil Fresh, Lil Spacely, Mel Bailey) and directed by Raghav Rampal. On the collaboration, Rampal says, “Our main goal with this video was to pay homage to the 2003 original Oldboy by Park Chan-wook, but 1300-ify it. The movie is so iconic and stylised, and has a lot of jaw-dropping scenes, so our approach was to pick the scenes we thought were the most iconic, and put each rapper into those scenes, as if they’re Oh Dae-su, so it would feel like the movie. The team (Tara, Elle, Maggie & Elijah) put a lot of work into re-creating the locations, costume and make-up for the perfect 1300-to-Oldboy balance, which all came alive through Tom’s cinematography, and Adam’s editing. It was also just the funnest shoot we’ve all had!”
Transposing the energy of their records to an exhilarating, boisterous live show, 1300 have already claimed a slew of notable support slots, appearing alongside Genesis Owusu, PNAU, Shady Nasty, Jono Ma, Taka Perry, 3K, Kota Banks and more. Quickly consolidating their reputation as a multifaceted and burgeoning force in the scene, they have already amassed over 500,000 Spotify streams and garnered playlist support from triple j and triple j Unearthed as a Feature Artist, alongside earned praise from outlets for their “hip-hop-inspired brew that is as sharp as it is palatable” by Rolling Stone Australia, a “refreshing take on Korean rap” by Acclaim and “unmatchable chemistry” by Purple Sneakers amongst others.
Comprised of rappers rako, goyo, DALI HART, producer-singer Nerdie, and producer pokari.sweat, 1300 subsume the raw volatility of Soundcloud rap and the high-budget sheen of K-hip hop, formulating a sound that cannot be understood or defined in pure stylistic terms. Built from everything goes studio sessions, their music is instead caught in a state of endless dynamism that never ceases to electrify or surprise, bottling the potential of a group animated by their boundless creativity, the individual members coming together like particles in the Large Hadron Collider that is 1300. What ties it all together is the group’s uncompromising pursuit of raucous energy, a constant momentum, and intensity born in-studio sessions that is then given shape and sound through their music.
‘Oldboy‘ by 1300 is out now

After two years of unforgettable sell out shows in Dubrovnik, mighty Manchester duo Solardo aim for a hat trick in 2022. In conjunction with Pollen Presents, Solardo announce their largest festival to date from September 23-27th: The pair curate their biggest ever line up with international tastemakers, showcasing some of the world’s top house and techno talent, a testament to the Manchester duo’s musical depth. The first wave of names include Marco Carola, FJAAK, Nicole Moudaber, Mall Grab, Maya Jane Coles, Vintage Culture, Nic Fanciulli, Lee Foss and many more. After multiple sell out shows at WHP, Circus Liverpool & London, Higher is now set to grow into a multi venue event across this historic city. Accommodation and ticket packages start at just £529, with party passes for what is one of Europe’s leading house and techno weekenders starting at only £249.
Dubrovnik is famous for its vibrancy, with enchanting views sweeping over the terracotta rooftops, distinctive cobbled Old Town streets, numerous plazas and museums that detail the rich tapestry of Croatia’s past. Many may also recognise the city from hit series and films like Game Of Thrones and Star Wars.. It is a truly unique backdrop for a series of world class house and techno parties and this now globally renowned weekender takes place across its most essential sites, from an ancient fortress to a panoramic terrace high above the city and overlooking the piercing blue Adriatic Sea.
Each location has its own charm and character and will be brought to life with world class sound and production. You can expect plenty of stunning views over the walled city and glistening sea, with breathtaking sunsets and sunrises every day as you enjoy beachside takeovers, pool and fortress parties and terrace sessions like no other.
House and techno duo Solardo lead the charge and since being crowned DJ Mag’s Best Breakthrough Act of 2016 and Best Duo of 2017 have never looked back. They have released on the likes of Elrow, Toolroom Records and Green Velvet’s Relief Records, have topped the Beatport charts and run their own vital Sola label. Now they bring their excellent curatorial skills to another mouthwatering Higher event.
They will be joined by a who’s who of house and techno talent from across the board, including Music On‘s Marco Carola, Berlin outfit FJAAK, Moodlabel head Nicole Moudaber, party starter Mall Grab, the always cultured Maya Jane Coles and global star Vintage Culture, as well as plenty more from wAFF, Lee Foss, Mason Maynard, Andrea Oliva, Ben Hemsley, Eli Brown, Shermanology, Nic Fanciulli and plenty more.
Away from the music there is a rich array of culture to explore around the city, whether you meander on foot through the lime-paved streets, travel via cable car up to the fortress or simply lay back on the beach and soak up the good vibes. For those wanting an even more unique experience, add ons include VIP upgrades and sea-faring boat parties.
There is wide variety of accommodation options for Higher, including the elegant suites, luxury spa and spectacular views of Valamar Lacroma, the beautiful Valamar Argosy Hotel with its fine restaurant, terrace, wellness zone and infinity pool, the exquisite 5* Valamar Collection Dubrovnik just a few minutes from the Old Town and Tirena Sunny Hotel, a quiet haven close to the historic centre of Dubrovnik.
Solardo Presents Higher Dubrovnik is a high class musical getaway in a beautiful location with some of the underground’s most vital DJ talent.

Spring Loaded has well and truly declared a triumphant return to live music, with the iconic Aussie festival set to storm Hastings Foreshore Reserve on the Mornington Peninsula next Saturday February 12, and there are tickets still available. The colossal lineup is dripping in 90s Aussie alt rock nostalgia and boasts a haul of the decade’s most celebrated acts.
Sharing the event program today, gates will open at 12.30pm and Screamfeeder will kick things off at 1.45pm, before The Fauves jump on at 2.30pm, Custard at 3.15pm, Killing Heidi at 4pm, Frenzal Rhomb at 5pm, Regurgitator at 6pm, You Am I at 7.15pm and Grinspoon at 8.45pm to headline the ultimate day of Aussie rock.
The man who engineered this ripper opportunity for us all to relive our youth and celebrate the return of live music, Empire’s Marc Christowski is thrilled to be getting another Spring Loaded event away, saying, “We are beyond excited to finally be able to stage Spring Loaded on the Mornington Peninsula, it’s going to be a massive explosion of rock after two years of uncertainty. We can’t wait to party like it’s 1996 and bring you the bands you love from the 90s!”
“We only managed two Spring Loaded events last year before everything went crazy,” explains Grinspoon frontman Phil Jamieson. “Both gigs were quite emotional because it had been so long since anyone had seen anyone, especially in the backstage area. Not just artists and band members, but crew and people we love, so it was a massive reunion backstage. Seeing grey hairs and beards, it’s a long way from Homebake ’98, but the music hasn’t changed. What was really special about those gigs was the support and comraderie between all the groups and then to see a crowd that was excited to be there as well.”
Pumped to hit the Spring Loaded stage at Hastings Foreshore Reserve, Jamieson says,“I can’t actually believe it’s real. You Am I, Regurgitator, the best of the best – Frenzal, Killing Heidi, Custard,The Fauves, Screamfeeder… so you know, there’s nothing really bad about it, it’s hard to hate, and then you get me doing silly dancing and clapping, what could possibly go wrong?! Hope to see you all there, this is a good news story about how there’s actually a festival going ahead!”
Covering all bases, the festival will be bustling with craft beer and an enviable collection of the locale’s cherry-picked food trucks. Spring Loaded is a fully licensed 18+ event, strictly no BYO alcohol. It is an outdoor event and will go ahead rain, hail or shine. No tables, tents, sun shelters or umbrellas are permitted, punters are urged to bring ponchos/raincoats and gumboots if rain is forecast. Picnic rugs and low camp chairs are permitted, as well as snack food in small cooler bags, sealed bottles of water, and there will be water refill stations. And with onsite parking available at the point of entry, there’s no excuse not to come and enjoy a rocking day out on the glorious Mornington Peninsula!
The Spring Loaded festival will be held with a commitment to a COVID Safe environment. Festival organisers will work closely with and comply with all requirements of the public health authorities in respect of this show.
There are tickets still available from Ticketek and Oztix.
