Winston Surfshirt

Multi-platinum-selling singer, producer and rapper Winston Surfshirt is set to bring his genre-blurring, groove-soaked sound back to the stage with an exclusive headline show in Sydney this October. 

Fans will be treated to brand-new tracks performed live for the first time, alongside the smooth jams and hip hop-infused hits that have made Winston Surfshirt one of Australia’s most distinctive and beloved acts.

The latest single JEEP offers another taste of what’s to come and is Winston Surfshirt’s playful ode to dad life, wrapping late-’90s/early-00s R&B influences around quiet drives, kids asleep in the back, and one CD stuck on loop. Written during a no-WiFi writing trip in Kangaroo Valley, the track flips nostalgic production cues into something tender, groovy and unmistakably Winston. JEEP follows the album’s joyous first single Boots which premiered on Apple Music’s New Music Daily with Zane Lowe, and joins recent luscious singles Spend My Nights, Ice Cream and One Sugar – each sprinkling breadcrumbs towards the forthcoming album, WINSTON. Winston Surfshirt continues to draw global acclaim with Sir Elton John recently featuring Ice Cream on his Rocket Hour radio show, calling them, “One of my favourite Australian bands”.

Winston Surfshirt began as the solo project of its eponymous frontman – singer, producer and rapper Winston. Over time, he brought together close friends and local artists to form the globally beloved project that we know today. Known for their silky blend of funk, soul, hip hop and R&B to juiced up disco-house, they have built a reputation as one of Australia’s most exciting live acts, from sold-out tours across the UK and Europe to standout sets at Falls Festival, Spilt Milk, Field Day and Splendour in the Grass (immortalised on triple j’s Live At The Wireless). Across 250 million streams, three acclaimed dreamy albums and collaborations with the likes of Genesis Owusu, Cosmo’s Midnight, Benny Sings, Talib Kweili, Kimbra, Dope Lemon, Flight Facilities and Channel Tres, the multi-platinum, 4x Gold certified artist is celebrating nearly a decade of music-making, inviting fans along for the journey as he elevates and expands his sonic landscape, cementing Winston Surfshirt’s place as a creative force within Australia’s music scene. 


“Ask any fan of Australian music and they’ll undoubtedly agree that one band you need to see live to truly appreciate their majesty is Winston Surfshirt.”
Rolling Stone Australia 

“No Australian music group is as impeccably charming as Winston Surfshirt … their show at The Forum was more than magical!”
Beat

“The live show is where the band excels, with each musical component getting to shine, groove and bounce off the audience’s energy.”

Worldwide

Gilles Peterson returns to Sydney for Worldwide — a one-off day party celebrating soulful sound, global rhythm and boundaryless dance music. Taking place at Liberty Hall Courts on Saturday November 15, the event brings together a global community who speak the same musical language: eclectic, forward-thinking, and rooted in connection.

Joining Gilles is London-based selector Kirollus, leading the charge of a new generation breathing fresh life into disco and boogie. With an electric stage presence and a crate full of rare gems, his sets are a masterclass in groove.

Also stepping up is Mazzacles — Club 77 resident, FBi Radio regular, and one of Eora’s most exciting new selectors. With an instinctive ear and infectious energy behind the decks, she’s quickly become a trusted steward of the dancefloor.

Worldwide is a space for dancers and deep listeners alike. A celebration of where jazz meets the club, where heritage connects with new energy, and where music becomes a shared language. Shake off your inhibitions and set yourself free — an all-out dance assault for those who like their music deeper.

Don West

Plus support: Surely Shirley

Riding the wave of the global soul revival, DON WEST is carving out his own distinctive place in the genre. Drawing inspiration from legends like Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield, as well as contemporary artists such as Jalen Ngonda and Thee Sacred Souls, DON WEST brings a fresh yet timeless sound to modern soul.

His debut EP, released in November 2024, introduced key tracks like ‘Small Change’ and ‘Friends’, both earning international acclaim. Building on that momentum, DON WEST kicked off 2025 with the release of ‘Send It Back’ — a bold statement of what’s to come.

With his debut album on the horizon and a global tour in the works, DON WEST is an artist fully hitting his stride — confidently defining his own chapter in soul music.

Del Water Gap

Scrawled in the margins of a William Carlos Williams poetry book dusted off in his late grandfather’s study, S. Holden Jaffe found a note that had once been left for his grandmother: “I miss you already, and I haven’t left yet.” A simple gesture preserved for decades illuminated a reality that Jaffe now faced at present: a perpetual state of similar departures.

The years during which Jaffe began writing, recording and performing as Del Water Gap were ones fueled by the kind of hedonism that you can get away with when you’re young and hungry in New York City. But at some point between exiting the pandemic and releasing his long-awaited debut album via Mom + Pop in 2021, that lifestyle had swiftly (and necessarily) vanished. Now midway through a global tour behind that record, he had found stability in the constant transience through his relationship and his sobriety. Still, the rigor of spending every night in a different hotel room was taking its expected toll, and by the time he was expected to put pen to paper for the next Del Water Gap project, Jaffe felt spiritually depleted.

Any trace of cynicism began to dissipate instantly upon his first session with producer Sammy Witte (Harry Styles, SZA) who encouraged Jaffe to abandon the self-conscious subtext of his previous work and make the record he’s always wanted to make but never allowed himself to. That meant hoisting his sonic palette up into panoramic pop heights, first on “Losing You” and later on lead single “All We Ever Do Is Talk,” a joyride hinging on massive existential doubt: “will we ever get that feeling again?” Can the cardinal jolt of young love last beyond its initial spark? Can one still achieve highs without the drugs? Are the best times really over, or are they still within reach?

I Miss You Already + I Haven’t Left Yet doesn’t wait for the answers, generating its own propulsive thrills through skyward hooks and resplendent imagery further punctuated by additional production from Mike Malchicoff (King Princess, Kanye West) and Ethan Gruska (Phoebe Bridgers, Manchester Orchestra), instrumental contributions from Clairo, Zach Dawes, Mason Stoops and Rob Humphreys, and a duet with Arlo Parks, the glowing “Quilt of Steam.” As its striking cover suggests, I Miss You Already + I Haven’t Left Yet presents a portrait of a man who is weathered but tenacious, standing upright and adamant on forging his way through an atmosphere of ennui with all his might.
