Melbourne three piece Something Something Explosion opened the night with a raging set to an enthusiastic Melbourne crowd. Lead singer Grace Drummond lit the stage up with her powerful vox and the band powered through putting on an explosive, energetic show. Drastic Park followed with a pop punk extravaganza, very reminiscent of late 90’s early 2000’s punk period.
Swedish legends Millencolin hit the stage playing to an eagerly and very packed 170 Russell. Playing with the ease of true professionals of punk, Millencolin played all the fans’ hits, Bullion and Fox, SOS and a solo version of Pepper and Penguins and Polarbears to name a few. Millencolin are as relevant today as when they started 30 years ago, still killing it live after a lengthy period playing as one of the Earth’s great punk bands.

In another chilly winter evening in Melbourne, UK psychedelic indie-pop group, Glass Animals brought the summer vibes into John Cain Arena.
With a pineapple placed next to the drum kit looking like an orange, the band strolled onstage to an ecstastic crowd. Under neon signs and colourful stage lighting, they took everyone into their tropical oasis, performing tracks from their Dreamland album including Dreamland, Tangerine, Hot Sugar, and their hits Heat Waves and Gooey.
Lead singer Dave Bayley danced around the stage enjoying every moment, and the audience followed suit dancing the night away. This is as close to summer as we’ll get in the middle of winter!
