DOM DOLLA SELLS OUT MARVEL STADIUM, SET TO BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST ELECTRONIC MUSIC MOMENTS IN AUSTRALIAN HISTORY

by the partae June 2, 2026
written by the partae

Dom Dolla | Thursday 24th September | Marvel Stadium, Melbourne (SOLD OUT)

Melbourne’s own Dom Dolla has sold out his Marvel Stadium show and is set to deliver one of the most significant moments in Australian electronic music history this September.

Presale allocations were exhausted within hours, with all remaining tickets selling out instantly from general on sale.

Presented by Untitled Group and Frontier Touring, the show is an Australian-exclusive and the world premiere of his brand new stadium production in front of his home crowd.

The sellout cements a remarkable trajectory for the GRAMMY Award-nominated DJ and producer. Following his record-breaking, sold-out debut at Allianz Stadium in Sydney in December 2025, he now brings the experience to Melbourne on a scale that puts Australian electronic music on a new footing globally.

Nicholas Greco, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Untitled Group said, “Untitled Group has been part of Dom’s journey from the very start of his career, and to watch him sell out Marvel Stadium in his hometown is a moment we’ll never forget. This puts electronic music in Australia firmly on the global map and is a historic moment for Dom, for Melbourne, and for electronic music fans across the country.”

Dom’s catalogue has surpassed 1.5 billion streams, earning him four ARIA Awards for Best Dance/Electronic Release and the inaugural ARIA Global Impact Award presented by Spotify.

In 2025, he headlined two sold-out nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden to over 30,000 fans, completed a 10-week residency at the world’s #1 club Hi Ibiza, and made his film soundtrack debut with “No Room For A Saint” ft. Nathan Nicholson for the movie “F1” and has collaborated with Kid Cudi, Tove Lo & Nelly Furtado.

CBAA launches Community Radio: Our National Sound podcast with DOBBY, Sarah Blasko, Mo’Ju and more!

by the partae June 2, 2026
written by the partae

The Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) has launched Community Radio: Our National Sound, a new podcast featuring some of Australia’s most respected artists speaking candidly about the vital role community radio has played in their careers and in sustaining Australian music culture.

Featuring Sarah Blasko, L-FRESH The LION, Mo’Ju, DOBBY, Bad//Dreems, Body Type and Annie Hamilton, the podcast accompanies the landmark national research project Community Music Radio: Building the Music-Media Ecosystem, which maps the enormous cultural, social and economic contribution of community music radio across Australia.

Led by Led by Associate Professor Shane Homan (Monash University), Professor Susan Forde (Griffith University) and Professor Heather M Anderson (Monash University) and conducted in partnership with the CBAA, the Community Broadcasting Foundation, Creative Australia and APRA AMCOS, together, the podcast and research paint a compelling picture of community radio as a critical discovery platform, career launchpad and cultural institution, one that remains essential to the future of Australian music.

The research reveals that community music radio is an extraordinary national resource hiding in plain sight:

Community music radio generated approximately $153.1 million in value-added to the Australian music economy

Every $1 invested in community music radio returns between $1.33 and $5.55 in socio-economic value

Approximately 1.3 million Australians buy tickets, merchandise or music after hearing artists on community radio

 62% of listeners say they listen to community radio to hear Australian music

More than 842,000 tracks from 10,000+ Australian artists were broadcast between October 2024 and January 2026

More than 390,960 hours of Australian music aired in 12 months

The findings also demonstrate the direct impact community radio has on Australian artists and audiences. In 2023, 27% of listeners discovered a new or emerging artist through community radio, 11% went on to buy a ticket to see that artist live and 16% financially supported artists through merchandise or music purchases.

Many stations significantly exceed the mandated 25% Australian music quota, with some implementing policies requiring at least 50% Australian music programming while prioritising diversity in artists, genres and voices.

Artists featured in the podcast describe community radio as an irreplaceable part of Australia’s music ecosystem.  Award-winning artist Sarah Blasko said community radio formed the foundation of her career, “I’ve had almost no commercial airplay. So my whole career has been built on community radio and ABC stations.”

The research also highlights the unique role of Indigenous community music stations, which make up one-third of the country’s most music-intensive stations and are deeply embedded in their communities through dedicated First Nations programming and artist support.

ARIA-winning rapper and drummer DOBBY highlighted the cultural significance of community radio for First Nations artists and audiences, “From a First Nations perspective, that is another link in the chain of black resistance and black representation.”

Community radio is where Australian artists don’t just debut; it’s where they develop. L-FRESH The LION described community radio as “the lifeblood of the music industry”, pointing to its role in artist development and audience building. “Community radio teaches you as an artist about those little nuances.”

The findings point to the need to revalue community radio within Australia’s music landscape and to strengthen support for the sector to ensure that younger artists and audiences continue to engage with local music culture.

Community Radio: Our National Sound is available now!

NATHAN CAVALERI ANNOUNCES ‘GROWING PAINS’ – THE NATHAN CAVALERI STORY 14 DATE THEATRE TOUR WITH MORE DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED

by the partae June 1, 2026
written by the partae
BUY TICKETS: THE NATHAN CAVALERI STORY
From child prodigy to cancer survivor, from global stages to mental health collapse, Nathan Cavaleri’s journey is anything but ordinary, and now he’s taking his life story to theatres across Australia this year for Growing Pains – The Nathan Cavaleri Story.

Kicking off with the first announce of what will be an epic national tour (stay tuned) on Saturday 20 June at Kingston City Hall in Moorabbin, Cavaleri’s Growing Pains Theatre tour will journey across regional Australia, moving through to Mildura, Swan Hill, Pakenham, St Kilda, East Gippsland, Wonthaggi, Nunawading, Portland, Hamilton, Ararat, Warrnambool, and Taree, before completing the extensive run at Avoca Beach Theatre on Saturday 28 November.

Tickets are on sale now from www.nathancavaleri.com

In this deeply personal and emotionally charged solo show, told by Cavaleri through story and song, Cavaleri skilfully weaves music and storytelling into a powerful narrative that traces his life from busking in Campbelltown to the heights of stardom, the depths of anxiety and burnout, and the eventual rediscovery of purpose and passion.

Flipping the script on a regular live music show, Cavaleri explains, “Reliving these experiences on stage is like nothing else. It’s a scary thing putting your heart out there and revisiting some of life’s most sensitive moments in front of a crowd, but when we’re all crying, laughing and blissing out together, it reminds me that beneath it all, we have so much in common. That’s what makes this show feel so profound and cathartic for all.”

By age 12, Cavaleri was at the centre of a bidding war between the labels of Michael Jackson, Prince, and Madonna. By 16, he’d toured the world with B.B. King, played the Kennedy Centre in front of the Clintons during their time in office, and shared stages with icons like Etta James and Bonnie Raitt, all while becoming a familiar face to millions across Australia and the US.

But while the spotlight beamed bright, a much quieter struggle was playing out behind the scenes. At its core, Growing Pains is not about fame – it’s about being human. The ache of identity. The grind of expectation. The fight to come home to yourself.

Raw, funny, and ultimately uplifting, Growing Pains transcends nostalgia. It’s a soulful, real-time reckoning with the highs, lows, and healing that define a life lived out loud.

The Hospital Finds Beauty In Letting Go With ‘Remember Us In Summer’

by the partae May 31, 2026
written by the partae

Most breakup songs are built on loss. They ache with regret, replay old arguments, or linger on what could have been. The Hospital’s latest single, Remember Us In Summer, takes a different path entirely.

Instead of revisiting old wounds, the Australian-born, London-based artist reflects on a past relationship with genuine gratitude. It’s a song that understands something many people only learn with time: not every relationship is supposed to last forever, and that doesn’t make it any less meaningful.

Written several years after the relationship ended, Remember Us In Summer isn’t driven by longing or sadness. If anything, it’s a celebration of what remains when the dust settles.

“For me, it was about appreciating what that chapter gave me,” says The Hospital. “She found her person, I found mine, and everything worked out exactly as it was supposed to. Looking back now, I choose to remember the good parts.”

That perspective sits at the heart of the song. Warm, reflective and quietly uplifting, Remember Us In Summer captures the rare feeling of being able to look back on a former love without bitterness. The memories remain, but the pain has faded, leaving behind an appreciation for the experiences shared and the lives that emerged afterwards.

The track forms part of The Hospital’s upcoming EP, Without You Is Hard, due for release in August 2026. Across the project, themes of connection, belonging and shared experience are explored through songs that recognise the importance of the people who shape our lives, even if they are only present for a season.

The theme feels particularly fitting for an artist whose entire project is built around creating connection.

The Hospital is more than a band name. It’s an idea. A place where people can feel understood, seen and accepted. Growing up surrounded by creativity, with influences spanning poetry, film, photography and music, The Hospital spent formative years moving between Australia, New York and Los Angeles before eventually finding a creative home in London.

The Hospital writes, records and edits all music and visual content independently. The neighbourhood’s rich cultural history and creative energy have become an integral part of the project, influencing not only the songs but the visual identity that surrounds them. Through music videos, photography and community-focused events, The Hospital regularly highlights the artists, businesses and personalities that give the area its character.

That commitment to authenticity carries through the music. Nothing about Remember Us In Summer feels forced. There are no dramatic declarations or attempts to rewrite history. Instead, the song finds power in acceptance and the understanding that some people enter our lives for exactly as long as they’re meant to.

Following the release of Decomposing earlier this year, The Hospital continues to build momentum toward the arrival of Without You Is Hard. If the singles released so far are any indication, the EP will be less about heartbreak and more about the relationships that sustain us, challenge us and ultimately help define who we become.

Because sometimes the most meaningful love stories aren’t the ones that last forever. They’re the ones that leave us better than they found us.

Review: Mitski’s Sydney Opera House Return Proves Why She’s One of Music’s Most Compelling Live Artists – 29 May 2026

by the partae May 30, 2026
written by the partae

Photography & Words: Jake Harm Nam

Sydney Opera House has hosted some of music’s most celebrated performers, but few arrive with the kind of anticipation surrounding Mitski’s return. Last night the acclaimed singer songwriter stepped onto the Concert Hall stage for the first of four sold out performances, bringing her latest tour to one of Australia’s most iconic venues and reaffirming her reputation as one of contemporary music’s most captivating live artists.

The excitement inside the venue is evident long before the show begins. Fans fill every level and every seat of the concert hall, many having waited years for the opportunity to see Mitski perform again in Australia. The stage resembles an intimate living room, a chaise lounge sits beside a desk and carefully placed lamps, creating a striking contrast against the scale of the Opera House. Above, large suspended screens hang from the ceiling, displaying projected imagery that shifts and evolves throughout the evening. Together, these visual elements transform the Concert Hall into a dreamlike theatrical space, perfectly complementing the emotional weight and cinematic quality of Mitski’s music.

Throughout the evening, Mitski moves with a deliberate theatricality, every gesture appearing carefully considered. Rather than relying on elaborate spectacle, she builds an atmosphere through presence alone, transforming the Concert Hall into something that feels unexpectedly intimate.

The setlist draws heavily from her recent work while weaving together material from across her catalogue. “Working for the Knife” arrives early, its themes of artistic exhaustion and expectation resonating deeply within the grand surroundings of the Opera House. “Buffalo Replaced” and “Dead Women” showcase the richness of her newer material, while “Heaven” and “Rules” demonstrate the emotional depth that has defined her songwriting for more than a decade.

Part of Mitski’s enduring appeal lies in her ability to articulate feelings that often seem impossible to explain. Her songs rarely provide resolution. Instead, they exist within uncertainty, loneliness, desire and self-reflection, inviting listeners to find their own meaning. That connection is evident throughout the night as the audience hangs on every word.

The loudest reactions are reserved for several fan favourites. “I Bet on Losing Dogs” transforms the Concert Hall into a communal choir, while her songs “Washing Machine Heart,” “I Want You” and “Francis Forever” are greeted with thunderous applause. Yet even during these familiar moments, Mitski avoids nostalgia. Each song feels newly interpreted, shaped by the confidence and perspective of an artist continuing to evolve.

A standout moment arrives with a reworked rock version of “Stay Soft.” The heavier arrangement injects fresh energy into the latter half of the set and provides one of the evening’s most exhilarating performances. Elsewhere, the delicate beauty of “A Horse Named Cold Air,” “Two Slow Dancers” and “Lightning” demonstrates her remarkable ability to hold an audience’s attention through restraint rather than volume.

As the show moves towards its conclusion, the emotional intensity only deepens. “My Love Mine All Mine” is met with near reverent silence before thousands join together for its final lines. In a venue known for hosting unforgettable performances, it feels like one of those rare moments destined to linger long after the lights come up.

For the encore, Mitski returns with “Pearl Diver” offering a quiet and reflective ending to an evening defined by emotional honesty and artistic precision.

As the first of four sold out nights at the Sydney Opera House, the performance sets an exceptionally high benchmark for the residency to come. Seven years after her last Australian visit, Mitski’s connection with local audiences appears stronger than ever. In an era increasingly dominated by spectacle, she continues to prove that vulnerability, craftsmanship and genuine artistry remain just as powerful.

Khamari Turns Sydney Opera House Into an Intimate Sanctuary | 28 May 2026

by the partae May 30, 2026
written by the partae

Photographer : Jordan Munns

Words: Jarm Harm Nam

Khamari made his Australian debut at Sydney Opera House last night, bringing his deeply intimate blend of neo-soul and alternative R&B to one of the country’s most iconic music venues. Performing as part of Vivid LIVE, the Boston born artist transformed the Joan Sutherland Theatre into a space that felt remarkably close and intimate, drawing the audience into the quiet intensity and warmth that defines his music.

Opening the set with He Said, She Said, Khamari eased the audience into his world with quiet emotional precision rather than immediate spectacle. It was a fitting introduction, the song’s delicate tension and restrained delivery immediately set the tone for a performance built more on feeling than theatrics.

The setlist moved fluidly through highlights from across his catalogue. Doctor, My Eyes landed with a hypnotic groove, while I Love Lucy and Head in a Jar drew some of the loudest reactions of the night, their hazy melodies filling the theatre with a kind of collective sway. Later in the set, nearing the final stretch of the night, Apollo Eighteen arrived with a heavier emotional weight live than it does on record, feeling like one of the performance’s emotional turning points.

One of the evening’s most memorable moments came during Euphoria, when Khamari slipped in the lyric “Sydney makes me feel,” catching the crowd off guard and earning an immediate roar of approval.

Another standout arrived after ending his song  Sycamore Tree, when Khamari picked up his guitar and launched into an extended solo alongside the band. Up until that point the performance had been remarkably restrained, so the moment felt like a sudden emotional release, a loose, soulful, and slightly psychedelic while still holding onto the intimacy that defined the rest of the set. The chemistry between Khamari and the band gave the performance a sense of spontaneity that made it feel alive in the room.

Throughout the night, Khamari’s voice remained controlled and intimate for one moment then suddenly soaring with raw ache the next. By the time he closed with These Four Walls, the crowd seemed fully suspended in his world. The final chorus echoed through the Opera House like a release of everything the set had been quietly building toward. For an artist making his Australian debut on one of the country’s most iconic stages, Khamari delivered a performance that felt both intimate and commanding, proving that even on one of the country’s most prestigious stages, his music has the power to make a room entirely his own.

TURNOVER RELEASES NEW ALBUM DOWN ON EARTH

by the partae May 29, 2026
written by the partae
Photo by Sean McDonald

Virginian band Turnover releases their new album, Down On Earth. The band’s sixth full-length is being released independently for the first time in their decade-spanning career and includes lead singles ‘Nightjar‘, ‘I See You And Realize‘ and ‘I’m Up I’m Up‘, which was released earlier this week with an accompanying music video as the album’s final early offering. LISTEN HERE.

Down On Earth is a foundational shift for Turnover. It’s an evolution encompassing fragments of the various sounds and scenes they’ve cut their teeth in over their decade-spanning career. Honed in with the help of their longtime front of house engineer Zac Montez, Turnover sought out to and succeeded in capturing the essence of their renowned live show to Down On Earth. The album is also the most collaborative in their discography. The band reconvened after 2022’s Myself in the Way and took their time, utilising the course of four years to hammer out the shape of their new album in the room together, iterating and improvising on ideas, experiences, riffs, and stray lyrics that each member brought to those sessions from lived experiences and life changes over that span. The album’s cover artwork, a photo by renowned photographer Nick Waplington that was chosen by the band, exemplifies some of those broader questions with a photo that’s open-ended and presents questions of its own about human experience and the perspective the beholder brings.

“We never had conversations about the kind of record we should make,” frontman Austin Getz says. “Maybe reminiscing around the anniversary seeped into our subconscious. But at its core, Down On Earth was the experience of just seeing what happened when we played together, without holding on to a tight idea of what we wanted it to be.”

There’s a brimming confidence to the new album that could only come from the freedom of closing a chapter of their lives and opening a new one. Following the natural retrospection that came with their 2025 Peripheral Vision 10th Anniversary Tour that saw the band play the biggest venues of their careers, the band have found a sense of resolve in their ability to be unequivocally themselves and reach people with that earnestness. While that may not equate directly to any one scene, Turnover have fought through the growing pains of self-discovery and come out on the other side with a seismic new album that writes a new script for the band moving forward.

Turnover will also be embarking on a North American tour this Summer with Narrowhead and She’s Green, beginning June 3rd in Allentown. The band will also play festival sets at Governor’s Ball and Bonnaroo in June, and join Coheed and Cambria for a special show at Red Rocks in September ahead of their Neverender Festival in Santa Ana on October 3rd. For all live dates and details, see HERE.

MR ELUSIVE DEBUTS NEW TRACK ‘MEDICINAL LIQUOR’

by the partae May 29, 2026
written by the partae

Photo Credit: Dominic Bleijie

Since making his debut in 2021, MR ELUSIVE has stayed consistent when it comes to producing music that pushes him creatively, while also continuing to grow his presence as a fresh voice to pay keen attention to.

Hailing from the Central Coast, the hip hop artist has counted artists like Juice WRLD and XXXtenacion as influences, while his own sound has threaded a genre-bending ambition together with sharp lyricism and performance charisma.

Returning with his first piece of new music for the year, MR ELUSIVE shares ‘MEDICINAL LIQUOR’. A personal track that sees the artist pull from tough life experiences, the latest single from MR ELUSIVE is an engaging offering.

“‘Medicinal Liquor’ comes from things I buried for a long time and eventually had to face. There was a point where I was using alcohol to try and numb everything, but the track flips that. It’s about taking everything that’s tried to weigh you down and turning it into something powerful, becoming someone you can’t ignore.”

“This was the first track where I really leaned into that raspy melodic style, and even people close to me didn’t realise it was me singing. It kind of showed me a new lane I didn’t even know I had yet.” MR ELUSIVE

Fans of artists like Jelly Roll and Post Malone will find a kindred spirit in what MR ELUSIVE has been doing here, blending country-influenced sounds with melodic rap and his spirited energy. For the artist himself, he has found his own pocket of comfort in the crossover of these genres, leaning confidently into the country elements of the song as he has done with the bars.

“I was stuck on a lyric halfway through recording when my dad called me mid-session and randomly mentioned ‘Copperhead Road’. it instantly clicked. I had to hang up on him just to finish the line I was stuck on, and it ended up becoming a key part of the song.” MR ELUSIVE

Single Artwork: Cody Mumford

To date, MR ELUSIVE’s catalogue of music has accrued over 1.2 million streams across Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music. Proudly independent, the artist has created a platform and community that is based on demonstrating the pay off of a determined work ethic and desire to connect.

More than just sound, his music is about impact. Helping listeners process their own experiences, push through adversity, and turn setbacks into strength. As he continues to evolve and experiment across genres, Mr Elusive is carving out a lane that’s entirely his own.

PRAISE

“Doesn’t wallow in heartbreak but instead finds strength in the fallout.”
AMNPLIFY

“‘Blue Lakes’ cements Mr Elusive’s place as an artist who transforms pain into power.”
AAA BACKSTAGE

“A bold blend of pop-punk energy and emotive rap that captures the raw emotions of heartbreak, alienation, and self-discovery.”
AUSTRALIAN MUSIC SCENE (‘Blue Lakes’)

“A testament to resilience and determination, showing versatility as an artist.”
FIISHBLOG (‘Blue Lakes’)

“After a decade of exploring surreal synth-pop and dreamy electronics, Purity Ring’s self-titled album, Purity Ring, feels like a reset button. It’s not a total reinvention, but it’s definitely a moment of reflection.”

“Purity Ring have returned with a self-titled fourth album, and it’s a thrilling evolution of their unmistakable sound. Fans of their breakthrough debut ‘Shrines’ and 2015’s ‘Another Eternity’ will discover something both familiar and strikingly fresh here.”

ABOUT PURITY RING

Purity Ring released their first three albums on the legendary label 4AD, beginning with Shrines, which earned Pitchfork’s Best New Music honours and was shortlisted for the Polaris Prize. Their breakout track ‘Fineshrine’ is certified gold in the US, and ‘Grandloves’ was sampled by Playboi Carti on his Die Lit track ‘Fell In Love’. In recent years, they remixed ‘Knife Party’ as the lead single for the 20th anniversary reissue of Deftones’ classic album White Pony and collaborated with industrial pop duo Black Dresses on the track ‘Shines’. Since emerging in the early 2010s, Corin and mj have made a lasting impact on the electronic pop landscape, building a world all their own with immersive self-produced albums and designing groundbreaking visual live show experiences. Their latest era of self-released music is a step fully into a vision they’ve been circling for years – one that feels vast, unrestrained, and true to who they’ve become manifested on their self-titled fourth album.

purity ring LP marks the beginning of a bold new chapter as the band’s most immersive release to date. Long known for their fusion of body horror imagery and ethereal electronics, the duo now shift their focus from the physical to the fantastical, crafting a concept album that serves as the soundtrack to an imagined RPG. Inspired by games like Nier Automata and Final Fantasy X, the record tells the story of two hapless characters — embodiments of mj and Corin — on a journey to build a kinder world amid the ruins of a broken one. But this is no escapist fantasy: it is the first step of forbidden dreaming, of imagining a place where the vulnerable are heeded, where grief is spoken aloud and held collectively, where family is a verb rather than a noun, where hope and home can bloom together.

written by the partae

After a surprise, unscripted appearance at the 2025 festival, the Young Australian of the Year, five-time ARIA Award-winning Yolngu rapper and dancer Baker Boy makes his return to Queenscliff. Hot off the heels of the release of his second studio album Djandjay, Baker Boy will ensure Queenscliff 2026 is a celebrated experience not to be missed.

Also making her return to Queenscliff Music Festival is Kate Miller-Heidke, one of Australia’s most remarkable voices; the operatically trained pop visionary has five top ten albums to her name and represented Australia at Eurovision in 2019. Meg Mac, armed with a rich, soulful voice and her joyful new album It’s My Party, is set to bring raw emotion and soaring melodies to the Queenscliff stage for the first time.

Returning to Queenscliff for the first time in a decade is one of Australia’s most prominent living musicians, activist, former politician and legendary Midnight Oil frontman, Peter Garrett & the Alter Egos will traverse a set spanning five decades of iconic Australian music, from thunderous Oils anthems to Garrett’s acclaimed solo work.

One of Australia’s most loved and critically acclaimed acts Lime Cordiale will make their official QMF debut, as they deliver a notoriously raucous, joy-filled live show off the back of their five platinum singles and a #1 album.  Multiple ARIA, APRA and J Award-winner and named one of Australia’s top 25 guitarists of all time, Mia Dyson’s blues-inflected rock has seen her share stages with Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt and Stevie Nicks.

The Geelong-born noise-rock icons Magic Dirt return to the Bellarine Peninsula with all the visceral power and raw energy that made them one of the most vital acts to emerge from the Australian alternative scene.

Also announced today is:

Charley Castle & the Boys in the Well — Award-winning Australian newgrass with infectious harmonies and holler-inducing energy.

The Gnomes — Frankston’s finest, internationally acclaimed, hook-heavy garage and power pop group.

Hussy Hicks — ARIA #1 blues duo with soaring vocals, extraordinary guitar that’s seen them tour the world.

Jordie Lane — Melbourne-born, Nashville-based raconteur and roots troubadour of rare wit.

The Maes — The beloved Victorian sisterly duo weaving spine-tingling folk harmonies across four acclaimed albums.

Owelu Dreamhouse — Melbourne’s cinematic blend of Afrobeat, psychedelia and soul.

Rupert Bullard — Tasmanian teen folk prodigy, blending folk sensibilities with shades of country and blues.

Steph Strings — Melbourne guitar virtuoso, whose debut album Feel Alive debuted at #2 on the Australian Albums chart in January 2026.

Sunday Lemonade — Infectious indie folk & roots duo who have created a fizz amongst crowds across Australia since hitting the road in 2018.

Willie J’s 6V6s — Melbourne’s hardest-rocking young trio; pure high-voltage Aussie rock ‘n’ roll.

Zindzi & the Zillionaires— ARIA-nominated and much-loved Play School presenter, Zindzi Okenyo delivers hip-hop and R&B for the whole family.

Festival Director Claire Stickland Said:

“We’re incredibly excited to share the first wave of artists joining us at the 2026 Queenscliff Music Festival. This year’s lineup reflects everything we love about QMF – celebrated Australian artists, exciting new discoveries and a program designed to bring people together through unforgettable live music and shared experiences.”

Audiences can enjoy the best in Australian live music, with over 70 artists, alongside local food and drink, immersive arts experiences and the vibrant creativity of the Queenscliff community.

The festival’s coastal setting, framed by ancient cypress trees and sweeping views of Port Phillip Bay, makes it unlike any other in the country. Festival goers can wander the foreshore, indulge in the Bellarine’s renowned food and wine scene, camp beneath the stars, or simply soak in the atmosphere with thousands of like-minded souls.

Since its founding in 1997, Queenscliff Music Festival has celebrated the region’s vibrant creative spirit, powered by a dedicated team of professionals and more than 500 volunteers. today, the festival features a dedicated kids’ area, family-friendly programming and caters to audiences of all ages.

Gabber Eleganza brings The Hakke Show to Melbourne for the first time

by the partae May 28, 2026
written by the partae

The Hakke Show comes to Melbourne for the first time. 

Supported by Cloudy Ku & DJ Ali.
170 Russell — Friday, 12 June.

BUY TICKETS HERE

A hypnotic collision of hardcore, synchronised movement, and raw physical intensity.

Gabber Eleganza has spent ten years refining this – an homage to 90s gabber culture that takes the energy of the original dancefloor and shifts it into something new.

An army of steppers moving in sync. A DJ set built around movement. Repetition is pushed to the point where it becomes something else entirely.

You’re not just hearing hardcore. You’re watching how it hits the body.

This is his first-ever Melbourne headline show. It won’t come around again.

Highbush Caribou Release ‘Matter’ Find Their Footing Between Coastal Folk and Shadowed Surf Rock

by the partae May 28, 2026
written by the partae

Fresh out of Prince Rupert’s salt-heavy coastal air, Highbush Caribou introduce themselves with a sound that feels grounded yet quietly unpredictable in all the right ways. The band blends dynamic folk storytelling with surf-tinged rock and a gritty western undercurrent, landing in a space that feels cinematic without ever drifting away from something raw and human.

There’s a restlessness running through their music that sets them apart. Subtle, almost spy-like tension weaves through the arrangements, giving the songs a constant sense of motion—like they’re always unfolding just slightly out of frame. It’s a feeling that keeps listeners leaning in, following the shifts as they happen rather than settling into anything too comfortable.

Their upcoming single, “Matter,” serves as a clear first statement of intent. The track moves with a natural, organic rhythm, shaped by shifting textures that rise and recede in waves. At its core is sharp, understated songwriting, but it’s wrapped in atmosphere—wide-open, weathered, and a little worn at the edges.

That balance is what defines Highbush Caribou at first listen: coastal grit paired with backroad warmth, structure meeting looseness, clarity meeting haze. For listeners drawn to folk that edges into something more shadowed, surf-washed, and off the beaten path, “Matter” makes a strong and memorable introduction.
