House music has a long memory. Certain records, textures and instincts resurface again and again, not as revival but as reference. Ideas are carried forward, reworked, misremembered. Digitalism and Felix Da Housecat sit comfortably inside that loop. Different generations, different entry points, the same ongoing conversation.

This show brings that conversation into the open. Between them, more than sixty years spent inside clubs, studios and sound systems, accumulating language rather than legacy. Liberty Hall Courts provides the setting. An open-air dancefloor where funk, groove, electro and melody move outward through space rather than being held in.

When Digitalism emerged in the early 2000s, electronic music was beginning to bleed into wider culture while still belonging to the club. Their sound landed between indie, dance and alt-rock, drawing as much from guitars and songwriting as from drum machines and club dynamics. Bright chord progressions, cinematic textures and restless energy sit at the centre of their work. What the duo describe as “colourful” is never decorative. It is physical, emotional and built for movement. Their music resists being fixed to a moment. Ideas recur, mutate and return with different weight each time.

Felix Da Housecat has been present for several of house music’s major shifts, beginning in Chicago in the late 1980s and moving through multiple cycles of underground and mainstream culture. Rooted in classic house and funk, his sound expanded into electro, electroclash and synth-led club music that helped define the early 2000s. His catalogue reflects a continuous relationship with the dancefloor. Anthems that anchored scenes, remixes and collaborations spanning Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears and Nina Simone, and a sensibility shaped as much by humour and attitude as groove.

Seen together, Digitalism and Felix Da Housecat are not a pairing built on nostalgia or spectacle. They represent two ways of staying engaged with dance music as a living form. Returning to familiar ideas, testing them in new rooms, and letting the dancefloor decide what still works.

A night for listening as much as moving. For recognising the past without rehearsing it.

La Dispute announce their No One Was Driving the Car Australian headline tour, which will be hitting our shores October 2026. La Dispute will be promoting their latest album No One Was Driving The Car, released in September of 2025 via Epitaph Records.

It’s been six years since La Dispute released their last album, Panorama. Since then, the Michigan post-hardcore band—made up of Jordan Dreyer on vocals, Brad Vander Lugt on drums, Chad Morgan-Sterenberg and Corey Stroffolino on guitar, and Adam Vass on bass —dealt with the stagnance of the pandemic, celebrated the ten-year anniversaries of Wildlife and Rooms Of The House, and began working on No One Was Driving The Car.

The fifth studio LP is the first entirely produced by the group, and it came together in Grand Rapids and Detroit, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Philippines: “I think the change in environment was really helpful to breathing new life into the process each time we came back to it,” Dreyer says.

Self produced and heavily inspired by the 2017 psychological thriller First Reformed, No One Was Driving The Car grapples with malaise in the shadow of the looming apocalypse, which has noticeably been worsened by the advancement of tech. The title comes from a quote from a police officer vocalist Jordan Dreyer read in a news article about a lethal selfdriving Tesla crash, an absurd event which raises questions about the amount of control we have in our own lives.

Dryer expands “it felt apt as metaphor then (increasingly so since), not just for contemporary life generally, but for so many responses to it: how each of us thrust unwillingly and chaotically alive, to hurtle down some road toward death, look amidst uncertainty for faith someone or something outside ourselves helps steer the way.” Throughout the album, screens and cameras disrupt moments of transcendence. It happens alongside  flashes of mundane suffering—frequent daydreams of drowning, flashbacks to eye-contact with dead animals, experiences of decaying relationships and secondhand suicides—while Dreyer yells with a more primal sense and sings in a more refined way, and the guitars have a sharper edge than ever before.

Listen to No None Was Driving The Car.

Fashioning music that is free and independent of hierarchy, Special Features from Meanjin/Brisbane operates without a single focal point, rotating lead vocal duties and embracing an unapologetic barrage of noise. Their live performance is more a raucous group therapy session with heads pressed against amps, sweat on the walls, and voices forging release. Having quickly earned attention across Australia, sharing stages with acts like Bad Dreems and DZ Deathrays, Special Features are building a reputation for shows that feel as liberating as they are explosive. Their debut album is set for release in 2026.

FEAR FACTORY ‘CYBERNETIC DOMINATION’

35 Years Of Fear

Australian & New Zealand Tour May 19th – 31st, 2026

One can’t overstate the size of the FEAR FACTORY boot print on the neck of heavy metal. Unleashing influential albums with devastating anthems for 35 years now, they are widely recognized as both crucial and innovative in extreme metal circles. FEAR FACTORY manufactured, demanufactured, and remanufactured a sound that reverberates across several subgenres. They perfected an explosive blend of staccato paint-stripping riffs, industrial-tinged drums, electronic flourishes, and a scream/sing dichotomy, all of which became staples in heavy music, ever since the group first emerged in L.A

Celebrating 35 Years Of Fear, FEAR FACTORY are dialing in a ‘Cybernetic Domination’ of Australia for their first full headlining tour in 10 years and finally for New Zealand, they perform for the first time since 2012!

The signature sounds, concepts, and passions remain, as FEAR FACTORY salutes its past, present, and future
