Starting in Melbourne, the captivating live show will then head to Castlemaine, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Brisbane, before finishing up in the band’s hometown, Sydney.

Co-produced by Tim Fitz and Jonathan Gilmore (The 1975, Beabadoobee), Joy and bandmates Fitz and Harry Day masterfully express the sensation of being overwhelmed, swept up and dragged down in songs that exalt and lift you higher.

Featuring a collaboration with Gang of Youths frontman Dave Le’aupepe, Faith Crisis Pt 1 is brimming with yearning, angst, pop brightness, belief in love and reassurance that even from the bottom, it’s possible to believe in beautiful things.

Middle Kids’ last album Today We’re The Greatestwon Best Rock Album at the 2021 ARIA Awards. Released at the height of the pandemic, the album garnered the band several US TV show performances including Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and The Late, Late Show with James Cordon.

Middle Kids first gained attention in 2017 with their debut single, ‘Edge Of Town’and their debut album, Lost Friends, which won Triple J’s Best Australian Album Award in 2018. The success of their albums has also earned the band an international touring profile which has included supporting shows with the likes of Bloc Party, Kings of Leon, War on Drugs and Cold War Kids and festivals such as The Governors Ball, Lollapalooza, Osheaga Festival and many m

Bringing the noise firmly back in 2024, Australian behemoths ALPHA WOLF will embark on an Australian headline tour this August. Named for and celebrating their upcoming new album Half Living Things, the Half Living Things Australian Tour will continue the band’s explosive run of live shows of late along with some special international guests, including Ohio metalcore stalwarts THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, Texan metalcore trailblazers INVENT ANIMATE and Swedish modern heavy wielders THROWN rounding out this formidable lineup.

Never ones to do anything by halves, ALPHA WOLF have relentlessly sharpened their trademark intensity against the odds over the years, from releasing their critically-acclaimed sophomore album A Quiet Place To Die amid the pandemic in 2020, to releasing a split EP, The Lost & The Longing, with Welsh rockers Holding Absence in 2022, and, as of 2024, ferociously approaching their third full-length album Half Living Things, due out on Friday 5 April via Greyscale Records and SharpTone Records.

From being continents apart, an online friendship is about to cement itself as a steamer of a party. The UK’s Duskus and Eora native Willo are set to fire up the boilers for a B2B cook-up never seen before in Eora & Naarm.

Influenced profoundly by the visual elements of the great outdoors, Duskus will transform the dance floor into a playground of rich 4×4 house, accompanied by blood-and-thunder kicks and warm melodies. Meanwhile, Willo’s going to back it up with the fruits of her inspiration, hanging a warbling baseline over nostalgic-house style beats to keep you glued to the floor.

A match made in heaven, this B2B ain’t gonna miss!

Bringing the party to a boil, underground royalty – DjRUM will be turning anything he touches into gold whilst he infuses the early hours of the night with his fusion of contemporary dance music. 

The concoction of energy will continue to brew with Batu’s dizzying run of latin club rhythms, abyssal electro and low end techno. To cap off the final AFTER DARK, Netherlands biggest dance exports, CARISTA (United Identities – Utrecht/NL) who’s raw energy will magnetise your feet to the dance floor until the early hours of the morning.

All’s fair in love and poetry…
