Lucy Bedroque, the LA underground’s most compelling new voice in Digicore and Hardcore Hip Hop, heads to Australia this July 2026 for two headline shows, in addition to joining Ninajirachi as a special guest on her sold out Dark Crystal V tour. Taking place at Oxford Art Factory in Sydney and The Night Cat in Melbourne, the dates mark a first Australian run for an artist whose deadAir Records debut Unmusique arrived as a defining force in underground electronic music.

Debuting on the Jane Remover and Dazegxd “TURN UP OR DIE” tour, Unmusique established Lucy Bedroque as a singular presence in the online underground, combining cutthroat rage with the eclecticism of Stereolab, Radiohead, and Deftones. Having cultivated a cult following under the name Lostrushi alongside peers 9lives, prettifun, and egobreak, their world carries a deep resonance of identity rooted in the Glutmother — a title that speaks to creation and nature, and to “people wanting more than anyone can handle, and responding to it with a perfectionist’s mindset.”

With Ninajirachi’s Dark Crystal V tour completely sold out across the country, Lucy Bedroque’s own headline shows stand as the unmissable opportunity to witness an artist at the start of a significant moment.

Gilles Peterson returns to Sydney for a day party celebrating soulful sound, global rhythm, and boundaryless dance music. For over four decades, Peterson has operated as one of music’s great connectors. Across that time, he has traced lines between jazz, soul, electronic music, and global sounds across club culture and beyond, reshaping how these sounds are heard, shared, and understood.

For Peterson, music has always been about context as much as selection. Through radio, labels, festivals, and DJ sets, he has helped surface new movements while giving space for existing ones to evolve, building long-running platforms where artists can grow outside of short-lived cycles. His influence sits less in genre than in the ecosystems he has helped sustain, where improvisation, club culture, and diasporic sound continually intersect.

He has played a key role in bringing acid jazz, broken beat, Brazilian rhythms, jungle, and spiritual jazz into wider circulation, moving them from specialist spaces into global listening culture. From pirate radio beginnings to BBC 6 Music and international festivals, his focus has remained on discovery and shared musical language.

The night is shaped further by Amsterdam duo Kamma & Masalo, whose back-to-back sets have developed into a fluid, instinctive dialogue since 2014. Their approach reflects Amsterdam’s eclectic club tradition, moving between eras and styles with ease, balancing deep record knowledge with euphoric, high-energy instinct. Alongside their DJ sets, they have helped shape their local scene through projects including listening bar Doka and their Brighter Days platform on Rush Hour, which has become a space for both emerging and established selectors to sit side by side.

From Sydney, BRIA brings a distinctly local perspective shaped by her Dharawal/Eora roots and her role as host of Thursday Lunch on FBi Radio. Her sets move across bass-heavy club sounds, breaks, percussion-led cuts, and left-field vocal moments, driven by rhythm, contrast, and energy. Fresh from a Boiler Room debut, she represents a new generation of Sydney selectors moving fluidly between communities and dancefloor contexts.

Pure nostalgia. We all rewind go back in time and relive the glory days of hardstyle and rawstyle.

em4. the culmination of the new wave.

It started with The Ashes. It ends with The Last Leg. This is Chillinit’s final innings, on his own terms, one last time.

Chillinit started as the kid from Hurstville they called Underrated. He built everything on raw Inner Thoughts, unfiltered lyricism and an independent spirit that never bent — and always knew what it Stands For. Multi-platinum. Hundreds of millions of streams. 230 Pounds of Australian rap that the music industry never saw coming. The Energy he brought to every stage became a movement — and everything he’s poured into it (Henny, Reefer, and everything else) has been leading somewhere.

This is Chillinit’s final headline tour. What comes next, he’ll let speak for itself — but no doubt the 420 Family will Wish Him Well.

For the first time, The Last Leg is all ages across most shows — meaning the 420 Family can finally bring everyone to the Chillinit ruckus. And you already know Issa Vibe.
