Picnic London presents a double room takeover at the UK’s most treasured clubbing institute, fabric, for their 10th birthday celebration. Having long held a place in the hearts of the capital’s raving circuit, as well as building a new community in pockets around Europe, they now set the bar even higher by marking their 10th year in style across fabric’s Room 1 and Room 2.
Since launching in 2012, Picnic have been the epicentre of many memorable moments at a vast selection of distinctive international clubbing spaces, including Hackney Marshes, Victorian Vaults, FOLD, Studio Spaces, BRET Amsterdam, Doka Amsterdam, Hoppetosse Berlin and Lion & Lamb to name just a few. As well as making their mark internationally event wise, the past few years has seen the picnic label release music from artists such as Martinez and Pelle and additionally launch their own festival brand Someplace Somewhere, giving revellers a new dimension of the picnic party experience.
The artists most frequently affiliated playing for picnic are the kind that are best known for their deep digging prowess, and the cast of international selectors they have lined up to celebrate their 10th year is no exception. First lady of Berlin house tINI will make her debut for the event and will perform a special b2b with French mastermind Dyed Soundorom. Joining them will of course be picnic resident Andy Luff alongside Slow Life records co-founder Laurine, man of the moment Sweely, a b2b between Jane Fitz x Jade Seatle representing themselves under Night Moves, a live set from Italian duo Data Memory Access (Giammarco Orsini and Jacopo Latini) as well as Mother Earth – the London female duo who are promoting gender equality through music.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
CHEAP TRICK
With over 5,000 performances spanning four decades, 20 million records sold worldwide, and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cheap Trick are undoubtedly one of the most influential classic rock groups of the past 50 years.
The band was formed in 1974 and while it has evolved throughout the years, Cheap Trick has continued to reach mainstream and critical success. Hits such as “I Want You To Want Me,” “Dream Police,” and “Surrender” have cemented the group as one of America’s top rock ‘n’ roll bands of all time.
In early 2021, Cheap Trick released their 20th studio album, In Another World to rave reviews!
**********
BUSH
BUSH have been a mainstay on Australian radios since the release of their debut album Sixteen Stone in 1994. The album was an instant smash spending 43 weeks in the Australian Top 50, peaking at #5. Glycerine, Everything Zen and Comedown are in the DNA of Aussie rock fans and are played daily on the airwaves to this day.
While the 90’s belonged to BUSH, they were on hiatus between 2001 and 2011 when they returned with The Sea Of Memories featuring The Sound Of Winter . In 2019, BUSH came roaring back with the track Bullet Holes which is featured as the end title on the soundtrack to the Hollywood blockbuster John Wick 3 Parabellum.
**********
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS
One of the biggest rock acts of the 1990’s with over 50 million albums sold, Stone Temple Pilots broke out of the scene they helped to define into bonafide superstars. From their breakout debut album, Core, with legendary hits, Sex Type Thing, Creep, and Plush to Purple’s soaring Interstate Love Song and Big Empty and the late 90’s smash singles Big Bang Baby and Sour Girl, STP songs are the soundtrack of a generation.
Stone Temple Pilots are reborn and writing the next chapter of their storied career, with their seventh studio album, Stone Temple Pilots (2018), their first with new lead singer, Jeff Gutt.
**********
BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB
The ultimate road dogs, BRMC harness pure garage punk energy and mix in rolling riffs and dirge-laden rhythms to shake you to the core and make you want a cigarette afterwards.
Their self titled debut album turned 20 this year and for the past two decades through 9 studio albums, BRMC have been at forefront of the psych-indie rock resurgence.
Tracks like the anthemic Whatever Happened To My Rock N Roll, the latter day Beatlesque-like Spread Your Love and the hypnotic Beat The Devil’s Tattoo define a band that was made for the stage.
GROHL, HAWKINS, MENDEL, SHIFLETT, SMEAR & JAFFEE BRING ROCK & ROLL BACK DOWN UNDER WITH FIRST FULL CAPACITY STADIUM SHOW BY ANY INTERNATIONAL ARTIST IN AUSTRALIA SINCE 2020
AN ALWAYS LIVE EVENT.
TICKETS ON SALE THIS FRIDAY, 12PM AEDT
Frontier Touring is thrilled to announce Rock & Roll Hall Of Famers Foo Fighters will return to Australia next month, with a history-making performance at Geelong’s (VIC) GMHBA Stadium on Friday 4 March.
Tickets go on sale Friday 25 February (12pm AEDT) via frontiertouring.com/
The 12-time GRAMMY winning band will arrive in Australia next week, with this exclusive, one-off concert – Foo Fighters’ first performance down under since 2018. This will be the first time a full-capacity stadium show by any international music artist has taken place in Australia since the COVID pandemic first hit back in March 2020.
After two years of live music virtually being on hold, and with our international borders now re-open for business, Foo Fighters will arrive in Victoria next week to celebrate the State’s extraordinary reputation as the live music capital of Australia. Foo Fighters’ record sales in Australia stand in excess of 1.8 million, with eight #1 albums – the most #1 debuts in any territory for the band, who’ve visited our shores 12 times so far throughout their 27-year career.
News of Foo Fighters’ upcoming Geelong concert is announced today in partnership with the Victorian Government’s contemporary live music major event ALWAYS LIVE – a brand new, State-wide celebration of contemporary live music taking place later this year. Bringing together icons of Australia’s music scene with emerging local talent and some of the best global acts on the planet, the ALWAYS LIVE program will feature shows of all scales and styles, created and curated for Victoria’s special venues, places and stages. Supported by the Victorian Government, the impetus for ALWAYS LIVE was initially conceived by legendary former Mushroom Group Chairman Michael Gudinski.
Foo Fighter’s latest and tenth studio album, Medicine At Midnight, was released in February 2021 on Roswell Records/RCA Records/Sony Music, debuting at #1 in Australia and featuring fan-favourite tracks that have already become staples of the FF live set such as ‘Shame Shame’, ‘No Son Of Mine’, and the album’s title track.
This week the band celebrate the theatrical release of their cinematic horror comedy film STUDIO 666, which sees Dave Grohl grappling with supernatural forces as the band attempt to record their much-anticipated 10th album – head HERE to buy tix, with the film in cinemas for one week only! Back in October 2021, Grohl also hit book bestseller lists across the globe with The Storyteller – a fascinating collection of his life memories and stories.
Foo Fighters will be joined in Geelong by very special guests Amyl and The Sniffers – whose 2021 album Comfort to Me debuted at #2 in Australia, #21 in the UK, and #18 in the US, and was BBC6’s Album of the Day – as well as Melbourne punk royalty The Meanies, who’ve been kicking out the jams for three decades now, most recently heard on 2020’s Desperate Measures.
Don’t miss out on your chance to be a part of history when the Foo Fighters bring their incredible rock’n’roll marathon live experience back to Victoria at long last. Tickets are on sale this Friday 12pm, and are expected to sell out quickly… act fast!
Foo Fighters are Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear and Rami Jaffee.

STREAM YOLANDA BE COOL’S SWEAT SELECTS MIX ON APPLE MUSIC
The ‘Sweat Selects’ series continues into February, with Australia’s cultivators of dance Yolanda Be Cool dropping a delicious mix, available exclusively on Apple Music.
A cornerstone of the Australian dance scene, it wouldn’t be a Sweat It Out mix series without label favourites Yolanda Be Cool dropping by to lend their expertise in track selection and aptitude in providing the groove.
Yolanda Be Cool follow suit from the first two stellar mixes in the series, with SLUMBERJACK dropping an all gas, no brakes bass-infused mix journey, and Mell Hall presenting a 60-minute education into the world of disco.
With Brazil’s world-famous Carnival celebrations not taking place on their usual late February dates – Yolanda Be Cool saw this as an opportunity to bring the festival to you. In this ‘Carnival’ inspired mix, the duo showcase plenty of open-bottomed percussion, hip-shaking rhythms, and perpetual party essence.
On the premise behind the mix, Yolanda Be Cool said, “This mix was inspired to get your blood pumping and body moving as you head out on the streets of Brazil to celebrate one of the best parties in the world… Carnival in Brazil! Vamos Fiesta!”
Yolanda Be Cool have aspired to serve up a mix that would comfortably find its abode providing the sonic backdrop to the outlandish Carnival parades on the streets of Brazil. Sprinkling plenty of South American flair throughout, the duo provide a tracklist that flaunts some of the continent’s most sought after artists such as PAUZA, Volkoder, and Paluma. Meanwhile, the duo look to some of the world’s most respected party starters such as Steve Lawler, Honey Dijon, Noizu, and Tommy Trash to keep the festival energy throughout.
An established household name, Yolanda Be Cool’s rise to the top was fast-tracked with iconic world number one and ARIA award-winning ‘We No Speak Americano’. The track kickstarted the careers of the duo, who have gone on to produce popular releases such as the ARIA Platinum-certified ‘Sugar Man’, ‘Soul Makossa (Money)’, ‘From Me To You‘, and more recently their 2019 hit ‘Dance and Chant‘. Their upcoming collaboration with Brazil’s finest DJ acts in Volkoder serves as an obvious inspiration for their ‘Sweat Selects’ mix, with ‘Work Your Body’ dropping Friday 25th, Feb. Pre-save here.
Yolanda Be Cool’s ‘Sweat Selects’ mix is out now, and available exclusively on Apple Music.

Founded by Australian craft beer legends Bridge Road Brewers in 2015, the festival has evolved into a mainstay of the Victorian High Country, brimming with entertainment and the mashing together of like-minded producers, beer-lovers and music fans as they celebrate that most delicious of ingredients: hops.
With Australia’s largest hop farm just 20km up the road from Beechworth, Rostrevor Hop Gardens affords high-country brewers the best of the new season’s hops, and rightly bestows High Country Hop with the crown as Australia’s freshest beer celebration. It’s the perfect opportunity to see and smell the freshest beers, straight from the source, paired with a finely curated musical line-up.
Festival-goers will enjoy matching bands and beers from their hosts Bridge Road Brewers along with special guests Garage Project (NZ) and Mountain Culture (Katoomba). They’ll be joined by regional Victorian brewing royalty; Sailors Grave Brewing, Dollar Bill Brewing and Love Shack Brewing. The High Country will be represented by Bright Brewery, Mitta Mitta Brewing Co, King River Brewing and Billson’s Brewery.
Taste a series of unique ales made using locally-sourced hops, and attend talk and taste events at the Symposium, an opportunity to chat with and learn from brewers, growers and industry types.
Beers not your thing? Discover the best of winemakers and distillers of the region.
Food trucks including Beatbox Kitchen and Taco Truck will sort out hungry festival-goers, where they will be hand-picking a selection of tasty treats for all ages and tastes.

“This song is about standing on your own and living your life according to you and only you,” explains SEB. “After a blowout argument, I ended up having to permanently cut off family members who did nothing but tell me how much of a disappointment I was. In the chorus, I’m trying to be exuberant and confident but that’s only to mask the pain I’m feeling in the verses. From talking to people around me, I know I’m definitely not the only one who’s gone through this. I want fans who are living through that, to feel empowered to do them, regardless of what anybody has to say.”
The new single opens the door to the next chapter of SEB’s music, with a new body of work expected in the coming months from Mom+Pop Music.

Melbourne is getting a new outdoor pop-up concert venue named Reunion Park. The new pop up live music and performing arts precinct will open at the beginning of March within the city of Yarra’s iconic Burnley Circus Site, only 15 minutes from Melbourne CBD.
The venue will host artists including King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Spacey Jane, Northlane, Wolfmother, BENEE, L.A.B and many more. The pop up will also feature a diverse range of performing arts shows including high flying circus performances, food and drink delights, and a programme of spectacular comedy shows as part of the venue’s Melbourne Comedy Festival hub.
Curated by Untitled Group and Velodrome Events, Reunion Park will be a celebration of Melbourne’s vibrant culture, providing a vital outdoor venue setting for artists and audiences to reunite and enjoy what Melbourne does best — Arts, Music & Culture. Concerts, day festivals and performing arts shows will take place from March 4th – April 10th.
“When we first conceptualised Reunion Park in 2020 we knew it would be a challenge, but did not anticipate nearly 2 years of lockdowns before it would become a reality or prove as crucial an event series for the Australian live entertainment industry. The project could not have happened without the support of the Federal government’s RISE fund, but equally as important that of Yarra City Council whose support of local and Australian artists has been unwavering. We feel blessed to have the opportunity to bring together such an eclectic program of musicians and performing artists, and play a part in helping return confidence in our industry that despite all odds, the show must go on!” – Chris Mitchell, Velodrome Events
Chris Mitchell (Velodrome Events) has been producing music festivals and performing arts in Melbourne since 1999, and was responsible for the creation of brands including early 2000’s underground beats brand Fractured, the award winning Red Bennies performing arts venue, Coburg Velodrome Events and Duke Street Block Party. He is a partner and creative director of recently opened Abbots Yard and soon to be opened Northcote Theatre.
Untitled Group is Australia’s largest independently-owned music and events company, renowned as the masterminds behind much-loved festivals Beyond The Valley, Pitch Music & Arts, Wildlands, Grapevine Gathering, For The Love and Ability Fest.

Hey I’m CJ, frontman of Tied Down
Man, things have been crazy lately with non stop gigging for TD along with recording two new songs (still unreleased) and really just making the most of the time together and enjoying the ride!
I would say as a collective, we keep finding more and more definition in our sound with every track we release. In line with a stance of refusal to put out mediocre, run of the mill tracks, we’ve really taken our time to hone in on our style and put some deeper meaning into each track with ‘Slow’ being a standout in that category. We all seem to bring our influences to the table and really dive head first into creating a unique sound for Tied Down that resonates with our listeners.
Our new track ‘Slow’ was recorded late last year. We went about it a different way with Matt Templeman taking the reins as executive producer. I think we felt the need for change and to work with someone who really engaged with us and Matt brought a lot to the table in terms of energy, music theory and constant ideas of how to get the most out of the track. Also a massive shoutout to Fraser Cringle for being the most badass drum tech there is and Simon Struthers at Forensic Audio for mastering the track beautifully!
Lately I’ve been going through a bit of a soul search back to my influences of writing creatively so for me it’s Meg Mac, Miles Away, Slowly Slowly, Rufus and OG Silverchair. For current tunes in the car though, I’ve had South Summit, Dice and Joan & the Giants on repeat!
Outside of that, heading down to the beach or park with my partner and doggo is always super relaxing and gives a bit of clarity.
The list of WA bands crushing it at the moment is through the roof which is super dope after what feels like years of being on the backfoot.
Currently we have a few support gigs coming up at The Indian Ocean Hotel on the 25/2/22 and at Lynotts Lounge on the 11/3/22 before we have a bit of a breather. The next big one for us is a headliner at The Rosemount Hotel on June 11 for a not yet released single launch yewwww!
We’re always looking ahead for bigger and better. We’ve got way more tunes set for release in ’22 and hoping to put another EP out by the end of the year. It would be fucking incredible to back that up with a national tour towards the end of the year but we’ll play that one by ear!
In terms of hanging out, I seem to be drawn to any pub that the boys are at for a frostie ahhhhhh!
