World Clubbers can enjoy the sunshine at the WCD Pool Sessions or on the lawns in front of the Hardstyle stage and the Outdoor Mainstage or inside the stadium at the Indoor Mainstage, where their favorite headliners will perform some of the biggest tracks with 1.8 million watts of sound.
The Deutsche Bank Park, surrounded by green fields, blue water, and picturesque forests, will host the festival. Each year, BigCityBeats turns this urban archipelago into the Mecca of club music culture, attracting international festival travelers.

PRE-SAVE/STREAM ‘NO RETALIATION, PART 1” THE SOLO’S’ HERE
Amsterdam, datum – The wait is over! Radical Redemption finally releases the first album of his most personal project up to date. With ‘No Retaliation, Part 1: The Solo’s’ the Dutch hardstyle DJ closes off a hard period filled with loss and grief and makes his first steps towards a brighter future. The album contains 12 brand new tracks including his recently released single ‘Won’t Bow Down’.
Even though Radical Redemption is one of the most loved DJ’s in the scene he went through a rough period the last couple of years. Being a DJ/producer for more than a decade, his career was an accumulation of success and highlights until a few years ago. Corona kicked in, he ended the collaboration with his booking agency and label after more than 10 years resulting in a long lawsuit but the most impact on his life and career was of course the loss of his father in 2021. Somehow Radical Redemption managed to turn all this into something positive thanks to his music and fans!
With the release of ‘No Retaliation, Part 1: The Solo’s’ on January the 26th Radical Redemption is back stronger than ever. The album is part of a trilogy that embodies everything Radical Redemption stands for. Working on the project for three years was and emotional and personal journey in which Radical Redemption grew a lot as an artist and producer. ‘The Solo’s’ will be followed by the release of ‘The Collabs’ and ‘The Orchestra of Eternity’ later this year. Together the three albums form a tribute to Radical Redemptions late father and creative partner/sounding board. The albums are connected through their artwork, which all contain one letter that together from the word ‘DAD’. With this tribute he hopes to put this difficult period behind him and focus on a bright future full of music.
In a personal message to his fans Radical Redemption explains the following:
“Before you lies the most personal album I have produced in my career. It tells my story, a story of loss, uncertainty, change and mental challenges. But also a story of strength, determination and perseverance. Life happened to me, just like it will happen to any other human being.
Losing my dad in the summer of 2021 had a huge impact on my life.
At the end of 2022 I decided to leave my bookings-agency & music label after 10 years, unfortunately their response was not as expected.
I was removed from line-ups, erased from playlists, they seized my house, my bank account….
…but what do you do when this happens to you? Be afraid, hold back, run away, or stand-up and fight? The fire inside me was ignited like never before, I knew, I will get out of this stronger & better. The music basically wrote itself, inspiration hit like in the early days.
The importance of looking forward became clear, life is just too short to stay in the past.
I don’t have time to be hateful towards people, because there is too much to be grateful for.
Producing this album allowed me to deal with my emotions, it provided closure.
It helped me to process everything that has happened over the last 3 years.
I can really say, for me there will be no retaliation.
It is time to tell my story. Thank you for your time and listening.”
Joey – Radical Redemption

SUPPORT FOR SINGLES OFF ‘THE NIGHTTIME, THE WIND, THE CROCODILE’
“This is the most heartwrenching, stand-in-a-field-and-cry piece of music I’ve heard all year. Will always love hearing what you’ve written.” – ★★★★★
Pip Rasmussen – triple j (AUS)
“Davies’ raw Australian lilt still remains centre stage, carrying the narrative of feeling lost and directionless.”
NME (AUS)
“Really loving the tender restraint, the air between the microphones, the gentle melodies and the climactic pay-off towards the end of the song – proof that subtlety goes a long way.” – ★★★★
Colby Robertson – triple j (AUS)
“Jack Davies is one of the most brilliant songwriters in the country right now.”
Pilerats (AUS)
‘This Highway Is Stained’ added to Spotify’s ‘Chilled Afternoon’
‘Clothes Peg’ added to Apple Music’s ‘indie + chill’
‘Clothes Peg’ added to triple j Unearthed Rotation
Boorloo/Perth-based indie-folk band Jack Davies and The Bush Chooks have just unveiled their alt-country debut album, ‘the nighttime, the wind, the crocodile‘ – produced by lead vocalist Jack Davies and Broderick Madden Scott.
‘the nighttime, the wind, the crocodile’ is an inviting 11-track amalgamation of nostalgia, mellifluous vocal layers and vintage-filtered instruments. Creating an artful balance between tradition and modern folk, the collection gracefully blankets each track in a sepia-toned haze, seamlessly intertwining threads of the past with the present.
Jack Davies and The Bush Chooks talk about the inspiration behind ‘the nighttime, the wind, the crocodile’:
“‘the nighttime, the wind, the crocodile’ is set in a nighttime scene. A crocodile descends from the sky like an apocalyptic cartoon, hungry for guts. The listener sits below, hands over their ears and their eyes closed. The trees sways, the moon watches. I think the idea of the album is to open your eyes in that scene and witness the crocodile. To remember that morning is around the corner, and darkness around the next. To attempt to keep looking long enough to see the colours shift, the crocodile disappear, reappear; and find beauty in the never-ending psychedelic whirl of fears and changes that we are plunged into as thinking, feeling human beings.”
Focus track ‘My Hard Times‘ and ‘The Colours‘ opens the record, resonating with sentiment and vivid imagery, adorned with introspective reflections and compelling storytelling. Singles ‘Clothes Peg‘ and ‘This Highway Is Stained‘ follow, with acoustic strumming and gentle instrumentation providing a kaleidoscope of sonic hues.
Marking the centre of the compilation, ‘Orange Peel‘ weaves rapid guitar arpeggios and lush strings, incorporating lyrical palettes of memory and ambience. In contrast, ‘You‘ve Got The Fear‘ introduces a rich rhythm arrangement, laying the foundation for whispered vocal tales that ebb and flow.
‘Everybody‘s Looking‘ and ‘Thinking About The Blues‘ further amplify the sonic diversity with retro-infused guitar and strings, evoking a sense of old-timey musicality that crescendos to a captivating climax before ‘Pleased To Meet You‘ follows, providing an intimate sense of comfort.
Closing the release, ‘You Deserve To Be Loved‘ and ‘Little Dog‘ stand as poignant echoes to the project, painting amber hues that leave a lingering resonance of heartfelt emotion and reflective grace.
Jack Davies and The Bush Chooks were selected as triple j Unearthed‘s Feature Artist, as well as their music video for the single ‘Half Frozen Beer‘ being featured as rage‘s ‘Wild One‘. The band has also won the WAM Award for ‘Best Folk/Singer-Songwriter Act‘ for four consecutive years since 2020. Their previous releases have garnered widespread recognition on Spotify, Apple Music, triple j and triple j Unearthed, along with support in the blogosphere from NME, Pilerats, The AU Review, LivewireAU, MILKY and numerous Australian community radio stations.

The Australian Open Finals Festival, held on the 25th, 27th, and 28th of January, marked the culmination of the 2024 Australian Open in Naarm/Melbourne, delivering an electrifying mix of music, entertainment, and cultural celebration. The festival, organized by Untitled Group, aimed to complement the diverse and multicultural nature of the Australian Open while ensuring it stands as an independent and vibrant event.
The festival’s final day coincided with the Men’s Final, transforming the John Cain Arena into a musical spectacle that drew record-breaking crowds. The atmosphere was nothing short of festive, with marquee dance music acts such as Rudimental and Groove Armada taking the stage. Rudimental, a multicultural UK collective, brought their energetic drum ‘n’ bass hits, celebrating the 10th anniversary of their debut album “Home.” The crowd was treated to anthems like “Feel The Love,” “Waiting All Night,” and “These Days,” creating an infectious party vibe.
The festival also featured local talents, including Melburnian hotshot Cooper Smith, Samoan-Guringai DJ Latifa Tee, and Melbourne club DJ Sunshine with her Disco Faith Choir. The latter, donned in vibrant costumes, delivered soulful performances, covering songs like Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” and The Supremes’ “You Keep Me Hangin’ On,” infusing an Australian Mardi Gras aesthetic into the music.
Chenai, a gracefully soulful newcomer, took the spotlight, leading Rudimental in their 2023 UK hit “Dancing Is Healing” and introducing an unreleased cover of Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn.” The festival reached its climax with Groove Armada, known as ’90s UK dance ambassadors, taking the decks. Their set was a bold mix of classic crossover dance tunes, including Robin S’s “Show Me Love” and Daft Punk’s “One More Time.”
The festival’s success was not just about the music; it reflected the diversity and inclusivity of the Australian Open. From AO Pride Day with LGBTQIA+ artists like Peach PRC and DJ Luv You to the powerhouse performance by Tash Sultana, the festival showcased a wide range of talents. Tash Sultana’s return to the Melbourne stage after five years was a highlight, displaying their instrumental prowess and diverse musical styles.
On the electrifying day of January 27th, the Australian Open Finals Festival dazzled with an exceptional roster of artists, infusing the air with a dynamic and eclectic musical atmosphere. The stage came alive with the captivating performances of Mell Hall, Tia Gostelow, The Jungle Giants, Ruel, and DMA’S. Each artist brought their distinctive flair and infectious energy, weaving together a tapestry of sound that not only defined the festival but also left the audience on a euphoric and unforgettable musical odyssey.
The festival’s evolution from the inaugural AO Finals Festival in 2023 to the upgraded John Cain Arena with double the capacity in 2024 demonstrated its growing popularity. Despite the challenge of rainy weather on AO Pride Day, the production quality remained high, featuring charismatic hosts like drag queen Courtney Act and striking visuals.
The Australian Open Finals Festival has solidified its place as a significant cultural event, not merely a musical satellite of the tennis tournament. It successfully weaves together mainstream and multicultural elements, delivering a unique and vibrant experience that adds an extra layer of joy to “The Happy Slam.” The diverse lineup and dynamic performances underscored the festival’s commitment to inclusivity and entertainment, making it a fitting conclusion to the 2024 Australian Open.

Title: It Was OK
Label: ONErpm
Mark Wolf and Khalil are two multitalented, dynamic artists who teamed up for Wolf‘s true debut release – “It Was OK,” a sultry fusion of house music and R&B. Mark layers in an upbeat piano with glimmering melodies and a subtly dynamic bassline, which combines with Khalil‘s emotive and soulful vocals for a track that feels at home on the radio, relaxing or even for a groovy moment in the club. “It Was OK” marks Wolf‘s new beginning as an artist, though he experienced success back in 2021 with his single “Sticky” with Tank God, the producer of “Rockstar” by Post Malone. The track was released as a music video NFT and sold out the 30 editions in its campaign within a week. Wolf is stepping up in a massive way with this unique new release, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.
“‘It Was OK‘ started off as a simple piano part that sounded fun enough to play in a club. It wasn’t until I listened to “Unfazed” by Khalil and sampled his voice that the song came to life and became something I’m excited to share and sing along with. As a debut release, I want this song to set a precedent for my sound- fun, danceable, and full of musicality.” – Mark Wolf.
“Mark did an amazing job creating a whole new experience sonically with ‘It Was OK‘ it was a pleasure working with him and looking forward to many more in the future.” – Khalil.
Mark Wolf
Mark Wolf, a versatile musician and accomplished guitarist, has made significant contributions to the music industry, with his work featured on records released by prestigious labels such as Capitol Records and Hitco. His artistic prowess has been highlighted on tracks like “Priceless” by Joseph Black and “EVOL” Acoustic by Khalil, the latter of which achieved playlisting on Spotify’s New Music Friday and Apple Music‘s “Day One” and “A-List R&B.” Beyond the studio, Wolf has carved a niche for himself on the stage, holding club residencies at renowned venues like SoHo Grand, The Palace, Common Ground, Nebula, and Public. His performances have extended to collaborations with top-notch brands, including Crown Royal, Range Rover, Therabody, and Ciroc.
Khalil
Khalil, once the quintessential teen idol, has evolved into an iconic figure in R&B, collaborating with industry luminaries like Justin Bieber, Usher, White Iverson, and Rex Kudo. His tenure with Teen Island produced chart-toppers like “Hey Lil Mama” ft. Lil Twist, which peaked at #5 on 106 & Park and spent 13 weeks on Billboard‘s “Bubbling Under” chart. Khalil‘s close friendship with Justin Bieber led to a record deal with Def Jam, resulting in the release of the star-studded “Long Story Short” mixtape on Soundcloud, featuring production credits from legends like Mike Dean and DJ Mustard, and collaborations with Birdman, Tory Lanez, and standout songs with Justin Bieber, including “Playtime” and “Time for Bed.” Khalil‘s journey showcases his talent, from opening in stadiums for Usher on the OMG tour to hosting 106 & Park and amassing almost 16M streams on his independent singles “Quality” and “Simple.”
Blink-182 is set to tour Australia in February 2024, featuring special guest Rise Against. Additional performances in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane have been added due to the high demand! The renowned, multi-platinum band, blink-182, is embarking on their largest tour yet, bringing together Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker for the first time in almost a decade.

Can you tell us about the inspiration behind your upcoming ‘Closer’ February 2024 East Coast Tour and what fans can expect from your live performances?
Our main motivation behind this tour is to bring a live show to our interstate fans, particularly those in Brisbane and Melbourne. Fans can expect an intense, emotionally charged performance, embodying an atmosphere of dreamscape. We want people to remember these shows.
Your latest single, ‘The Day Brings,’ has received significant attention on various streaming platforms. How has the response been, and how does it fit into the overall theme of your upcoming album?
We’re so pleased at the response so far. Our fans are generally supportive but have exceeded our expectations for this single which continues to motivate us. Having Jack Fontes on board in the music video process truly helped capture the mystery and emotion behind the song. This song is a singular piece in a moving-parts concept which our upcoming album channels. The song represents a cry for help in a place of torment and anxiety. The all-inspired hope that a new day will bring ever desired change. The album culminates to a place of triumph in a journey of self-discovery. We’re excited to share more of this concept moving forward.
With the diverse lineup for the tour, including support from Aurateque, Noctica, Bridge Left To Burn, Torizon, In Eyes, New Million, and 50Fifty, how did you go about selecting these bands, and what do you appreciate most about sharing the stage with such a variety of musical styles?
We had Aurateque in mind as we believed their presence on this tour would make the experience really wonderful. I truly admire Lauren as a vocalist and am beyond grateful to share a stage with her. Our other supports are also so talented. I believe the diversity of musical styles in this line-up will only serve to compliment the tour. I’ll go on to say, there’s a wealth of talent currently in this music scene that deserves to be represented and celebrated.
Fifth Dawn has a distinctive sound with vibrant synths, cinematic orchestral arrangements, and groove-oriented rhythms. How has your musical style evolved since your debut album ‘Duality’ in 2018, and what can listeners expect from your upcoming 2024 album?
Duality was a milestone record for us. What we achieved with that release inspires us in our continued efforts to put out music in the world that people adore. With our next album listeners can expect darker themes, heavier arrangements and more ambitious vocal sections. It’s important for us to maintain our sound but in the same breath, test the boundaries of our current inspiration and creative pursuits.
‘The Day Brings’ has been featured in prominent editorial playlists across various platforms. How do you approach the creation of a single, and what do you believe sets this particular track apart?
Mark (lead guitarist) and I share the role of song writing within the band. In our catalogue of songs, we usually focus on developing a song into a single that has the strongest musical components. The Day Brings features an emotional and moving bridge section which offers a delicate contrast to the heavier parts and build-up in the song. We believe this stands out in comparison to our previous releases.
The tour includes stops in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne. How does performing in different cities influence your live shows, and do you have any specific memories or expectations for each venue?
We’re so determined to make our mark in these cities. We’re aware we have fans in Brisbane and Melbourne but have not yet cut through the noise. We’re excited to play to newer audiences and hopefully accumulate more fans in the process. Our expectations for these shows are for fans new and old to truly immerse themselves in the experience and have a joyful night.
As a melodic metal quartet, how do you balance the technicality of your music with creating emotionally charged compositions that resonate with a broad audience?
We usually aim to achieve contrast in every song to allow for this e.g., softer verses paving the way for heavier chorus’. As each song is written, it normally becomes obvious to us what adjustments need to be made to make it more captivating. Emotion for me is equally a combination of the lyrics and vocal expression. The sweet spot lies somewhere in the middle.
The Oxford Art Factory and Thrashville Festival are notable recent appearances for Fifth Dawn. How have these experiences shaped your approach to live performances and the overall direction of the band?
We need to consistently perform to identify areas for improvement and general advancement. These shows were important to us for this reason after been inactive for a while. We are so determined to move forward in our band’s career and feel we have a positive trajectory if we continue to work hard at this. We’re so excited and prepared for this tour.
Can you share any insights into the collaborative process within the band when creating new music, especially for your upcoming album?
As stated earlier, Mark and I work together in the collaborative process to write the songs. It’s important for us to maintain communication in this process as we’re relying on harmony and understanding to achieve this. I truly believe people will feel inspired with this release. It’s extremely relatable in discussing the ugliness and challenging nature of the human condition.
The Australian music scene is known for its diversity and talent. How do you feel your music contributes to and stands out in this vibrant landscape?
I agree that there is so much competitive talent in this industry. As a vocalist I’ve always been very ambitious, which is exactly the reason Amy Lee of Evanescence has impressed me all these years. Her vocals are immersing and powerful in a way that’s memorable. I endeavour to achieve this in my own vocal style as an Australian artist. Further to this, our music is progressive and heavy which is exhilarating to combine these elements with soaring vocals. I feel confident in saying our music stand outs on its merit for these reasons.
What role does Qona Creative play in supporting local talent, and how has their involvement impacted the planning and execution of your upcoming tour?
Our experience with Qona Creative so far has been so positive and commendable. They are efficient and exceptional in identifying talent and potential. I am confident with their continued efforts, that their career will propel in the near future.
Looking beyond the February 2024 tour, what are your long-term goals for Fifth Dawn, and how do you envision the band’s evolution in the coming years?
Our focus and attention this year is directed in developing our next album and expanding touring opportunities. We’re working hard to deliver an album we’re absolutely proud of. I believe with the right strategy, promotion and execution, that this album perform well.
Title: Want Me Back (feat. Karl Boëthius)
Label: Dim Mak Records
Danish DJ and producer Snavs joins forces with his Scandinavian fellow – Swedish artist Karl Boëthius, on their new song “Want Me Back,” which is a unique and addictive fusion of chill dance and alt-pop music. With its combination of downtempo melodies and sultry vocals courtesy of Karl in the opening moments, the artists set an emotive tone appropriate for its subject matter, which (true to the title) laments on the realization that a significant other doesn’t want you back. Snavs weaves in synth-led, future bass elements in the track’s chorus and breakdown, lending a feel-good, danceable vibe to “Want Me Back” throughout. This is the first track of 2024 for Snavs on Steve Aoki‘s Dim Mak, following “Headlights” featuring John Alto from last year.
“I got this brilliant vocal from Karl and wanted to create a tight, bouncy dance track with a powerful chorus. A bit out of my comfort zone, but I’m thrilled with the result.” – Snavs
As the boss of his own label Riotville Records, DJ and producer Snavs has made it his mission to constantly push creative boundaries. He has explored the sonic realms through unusual collaborations that break genre barriers, including hardcore metal band Telos, legendary Scandinavian rocker Ulf Scott, Søren Buhl of alt-rock band Blaue Blume, and indie singer Karen Lassen. His music has taken him to some of the world’s most prestigious clubs, including Webster Hall (New York), Avalon (Los Angeles), Bootshaus (Cologne), WOMB (Tokyo), Pacha (Sydney), as well as well-known festivals such as Coachella, Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, Eurosonic, Miami Music Week, Amsterdam Dance Event and more.
