Regenerate - Brisbane Powerhouse 21st Birthday Celebration of 95 years
April 21st - May 15th
For almost a century, the iconic Brisbane Powerhouse building has been a time capsule of Brisbane’s history.
To celebrate 21 years as a ground-breaking cultural precinct, we are proud to unveil Regenerate – a free exhibition that documents the stories and secrets of the iconic building’s rich 95-year history.
Spanning three ‘acts’, this special exhibition exposes the building’s foundations as a coal-fired power station and reveals its transformation from a derelict industrial space to a cultural icon, culminating in a celebration of the thousands of extraordinary local, national and international artists who have inhabited the venue over the past 21 years.
Regenerate takes place from 21 April and is accompanied by a commemorative book, written by Stefan Treyvaud, available for purchase at the Box Office.

HP BOYZ are an independent Australian Hip Hop group from Melbourne. The band comprises of: YJ, Mways and Onit. They started off as close friends in the early stages of their life and went on to become a brotherhood in their early teens. Music followed soon after and became their main creative outlet and a huge inspiration for the boys.
They’ve achieved significant success in a short amount of time, only being in the game for over a year. Having amassed over 100 Million streams across their platforms as well as Platinum and Gold singles, HP BOYZ go from strength-to-strength with each release.
They list their influences including: Tion Wayne, Sheff G, and Lil Tjay just to name a few. HP BOYZ Sold Out their 7 Date New Zealand Tour in 2019, in less than 10 minutes. The boys also took home the People’s Choice award for the first time at the ‘Pacific Music Awards’ but because of COVID-19 travel restrictions they couldn’t be in New Zealand for the awards, so accepted it from their house in Melbourne.
HP BOYZ are excited to finally announce their debut Australian tour this May (Tour Dates are below). Tickets go on sale Wednesday 14th April 9am local time.

Three - Lister, Lane, Shechter
May 26th - 29th 2021
Australasian Dance Collective brings you THREE highly anticipated Australian premieres from renowned choreographers Jack Lister, Melanie Lane and Hofesh Shechter.
Brisbane’s own rising star of the choreographic world, Jack Lister, fuses dance and visual art to create a stunning mainstage performance, Still Life.
Inspired by the artworks of the 16th and 17th century Memento Mori movement, it serves as a touchstone of our own mortality, the beauty in decay and our relationship with time.
Still Life embraces the dichotomy of the permanence of visual artworks against the impermanent nature of dance, creating a world of poignant conflict – time passes but memories endure.
Melanie Lane is one of Australia’s strongest female choreographic voices, her works seamlessly blending elegance with edgy, physicality.
Stealing from ancient and current mythologies of the supernatural body, Alterum manifests newfound heroes in a parallel existence that is both urgent and obscure.
Lane will be joined by long-term musical collaborator, Clark, in this sexy and cool must-see production.
Queensland finally gets its chance to experience international superstar and dance revolutionary, Hofesh Shechter.
Presented in association with Hofesh Shechter Company, ADC unveils the Australian premiere of Cult — the work that propelled Shechter into his globally-renowned career.
Instinctive and raw, it is a powerful illustration of his unique and acclaimed choreography and is the first time the London-based choreographer’s work has been performed in Queensland.

Chillinit The Octagon Tour
May 28th 2021
one of the most exciting and unprecedented new hip-hop artists in Australia today, announces increased venue sizes and rescheduled dates for The Octagon Tour, now starting in April 2021. Kicking off at Enmore Theatre on Saturday April 10, ChillinIt’s biggest tour yet will see him then play in Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide before wrapping things up in Brisbane on May 28 at the Fortitude Music Hall.
Tickets for all shows go on sale at 12pm (local time), on Monday August 31. For complete tour, ticket information, visit: livenation.com.au.
All existing tickets remain valid for the rescheduled show. Patrons unable to attend can obtain a refund from point of purchase. Refund requests are to be submitted prior to 5pm, Monday 28 September 2020. For any questions relating to your ticket purchase, please contact your original point of purchase.
Riding off the back of the success of ‘The Octagon’, ChillinIt returns with a new single and video ‘On Hold’, a heartfelt banger from the prince of Hurstville, which is the first taste of a brand-new mixtape to be released sooner than you know. ‘On Hold’ chronicles the struggles of arguably Australia’s most talented yet also troubled solo artists; the combination of the soaring highs of success and fame, with the crushing lows fuelled by excess, hedonism and addiction.
Having cut his teeth in Sydney’s underground hip-hop scene and built a legion of dedicated fans, the 420 Family, ChillinIt has since morphed into one of Australia’s most revered personalities, causing nationwide conversation wherever he steps foot.
His debut album, Women, Weed & Wordplay was released in late 2018 and stood assertively on the ARIA charts for the entirety of 2019, racking up well over 60 million streams and producing three Gold accredited singles.
Come 2020, ChillinIt has already made his mark across Australia with rampaging performances at FOMO Festival drawing massive crowds for an early afternoon time slot. His sophomore album, The Octagon dropped on January 31, and placed victoriously at #2 on the ARIA Album Charts, #1 on ARIA Urban Album Charts and #1 on ARIA Digital Album Charts, with lead single ‘Ready For The Pain’ quickly becoming the #1 trending video on YouTube in Australia upon its release.
With his slick wordplay, heartfelt introspection and insatiable appetite for controversy, ChillinIt has created an overwhelming buzz that even his harshest critics can’t ignore.
The Octagon is just another early chapter in what is set to be one of Australian hip-hop’s biggest success stories.

The Veronicas
June 4th 2021
Multi-platinum selling Australian music icons, The Veronicas – aka Jess and Lisa Origliasso – have today announced their first national tour in six years, GODZILLA V HUMAN. Set to take Australia by storm from June 4, the month-long tour across 12 cities will see the pop duo perform a string of shows across the nation in what promises to be their most spectacular concert yet.
The long-awaited GODZILLA V HUMAN tour from Australia’s most successful musical duo will treat audiences to a unique experience as they’re taken aboard a flight simulation on Veronicas Airlines before the concert splits into two parts, providing a special performance that showcases the two very different sides of the sisters. GODZILLA will be a high energy introduction into the alter ego of the pop stars, The Veronicas, and HUMAN will see Lisa and Jess strip it all back to their more vulnerable singer/songwriter roots. The duality of the show promises fans uniquely intimate access into the journey of becoming one of Australia – and the world’s – most commanding pop stars.
“There is no greater feeling than connecting with our fans In our live show. Getting to show perform new music, as well as new ways to connecting over”
The tour will feature all the fan favourites from across The Veronicas’ catalogue as well as new music from their upcoming surprise two-album release GODZILLA and HUMAN, through Sony Music. Similar to the tour, their highly anticipated new studio albums highlight two different sides of the infamous twins with GODZILLA released on Friday, May 28 followed by HUMAN on Friday, July 2. The ferocious title track, Godzilla, is available now and sees the re-emergence of the writing trinity of Toby Gad, Lisa Origliasso and Jessica Origliasso for the first time since The Veronicas’ international hit Untouched and begins with guitars reminiscent of an early Silverchair record and synths straight out of a mid 90’s science fiction action film.
The Veronicas have a way of setting a precedence for music that continues to remind us why they are considered one of the most dynamic and re-inventive faces of pop music. The two new albums and national concert tour mark the next chapter in an extraordinary alternative pop career, throughout which The Veronicas have cemented their place as bona fide pop icons.
Beloved by audiences from all walks of life, and after recently becoming the must-see darlings of the festival circuit, The Veronicas’ achievements so far speak for themselves. With chart success around the globe including double Platinum status in the USA, they’ve had nine top 10 hits in Australia including three #1s, several multi-platinum singles including Hook Me Up, You Ruin Me, Untouched and In My Blood, over half a billion streams, 175 million YouTube/Vevo views and 3.5 million social connections. The duo recently released their own ethical perfume brand, Untouched, starred in their very own MTV produced reality show Blood Is For Life and will appear in the coming months on Nine’s Celebrity Apprentice.

SLOWLY SLOWLY – ‘RACE CAR BLUES’ ALBUM TOUR
June 5th 2021
After a watershed year in 2019, Melbourne rock favourites Slowly Slowly are kicking off 2020 with the announcement of their third album race Car Blues. The follow up to their critically-acclaimed 2018 effort St. Leonards, Race Car Blues launches today with the reveal of the album’s title track and music video, before the release lands in full on Friday February 28.
The album captures a formative period for Slowly Slowly frontman Ben Stewart. Where St. Leonards found him reflecting on his entire life – harking back to painful moments and trying to rectify them – this album traverses through a crucial 18 months of self-assessment and development.
Describing soaring album closer ‘Race Car Blues‘ in more depth, Stewart explains that the song was something of a “hard chat” with himself. The track and accompanying music video capture Stewart grappling with the incongruence between where he was at as a person and artist and where he wanted to be.
To celebrate the release of ‘Race Car Blues’ Slowly Slowly will hit the road on their biggest tour yet.

Emma Swift - Blonde On The Tracks
June 24th 2021
In celebration of the 80th birthday of legendary songwriter Bob Dylan, Nashville-based Australian singer EMMA SWIFT returns to Australia this June for a series of live shows performing songs from her stunning Dylan tribute album ‘Blonde on the Tracks’ as well as other favourites and rare gems from the Bob Dylan songbook.
In her first ever national tour with a full band, Emma will be backed by Darren Middleton (Powderfinger) on guitar, Marty Brown (Clare Bowditch Band) on drums, Mark Wilson (JET) on bass, Louis Macklin (JET) on keys and Kathleen Halloran (Kate Ceberano Band) on guitar. The group will play a run of beautiful venues in Melbourne, Wollongong, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane.
Tickets for all shows go on sale 12pm Thursday April 22.
My Live Nation members can secure tickets first during the exclusive pre-sale beginning 12pm Wednesday, April 21 until 11am Thursday, April 22.
For complete tour and ticket information, visit: livenation.com.au
With a sound described as a blend of classic folk, Americana and indie rock, the release of ‘Blonde on the Tracks’ has seen Swift likened to iconic artists such as Joan Baez, Marianne Faithfull and Cat Power.
An ARIA nominated singer-songwriter, Emma’s 2020 album of inspired interpretations of Bob Dylan songs garnered stellar reviews from Rolling Stone, the Guardian, the Los Angeles Review of Books, UNCUT Magazine, Hot Press, Nashville Scene, Slate, NPR, the BBC and the Sydney Morning Herald. Swift even made US Rolling Stone’s list of 15 of the best Bob Dylan covers, alongside Sonic Youth, The Roots and The White Stripes. Here in Australia, Blonde on the Tracks debuted in the Top 10 on the ARIA chart and was also the #1 Country album and the #1 selling vinyl album.
“I am so, so thrilled to be returning to Australia to play songs from the ‘Blonde on the Tracks’ album live this year. This will be the first ever full band performance of these songs in a live setting, and I can’t wait to bring the album to life on stage.”
“The album has had an enormous amount of love and I can’t wait to come home and sing these songs, as well as a selection of classics and fun rarities from Dylan’s magnificent canon.”
“After living in lockdown in the United States for most of the past year, it is going to be a real thrill to be taking the record on tour with a five-piece band. As a long-time Powderfinger fan, it’s especially exciting to be working with Darren Middleton as band leader. He’s an exceptional musician and wonderful collaborator and we’re planning a very special experience for the live show.”

Hockey Dad
June 26th - 27th 2021
We’ve come a long way since we initially announced this tour back in March last year, and we’re still having to move things around with all the current situations unfolding. So firstly, thank you so much for sticking with us for over a year of this battle
We’ve had to make the very tough call to move our Brisbane shows in our BRAIN CANDY TOUR so we can put on the best possible shows for you all. We are incredibly sorry for the late notice!
We can’t wait to finally play some rawk shows and see you all again soon!
Off the back of releasing their brand new single “Itch” and album news for Brain Candy, the duo today announce their own headline tour, supported by triple j. Joining them will be Last Dinosaurs, Vundabar (USA) and Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers. They’ll be kicking off the tour in Adelaide, then heading over to Fremantle, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney. This tour will follow a mammoth run across the globe from the UK, Europe and the USA officially making this Hockey Dad’s biggest touring year ever!
Hockey Dad’s new single ‘Itch’, is out now, an epic fuzzed ballad, which started off as a delicate, droned out kind of feel. It grew in the studio as the band added more layers and has become a giant of a song that slowly builds to a massive finish with one of Zach Stephenson’s biggest vocals to date.
“It’s definitely the most non-Hockey Dad song we have ever recorded” shares Zach. “Itching is the worst feeling you could have sometimes. The idea comes from a person having someone under their skin and constantly invading their thoughts. But for some reason, can’t get enough of it. Can’t get enough of being controlled and held down. It’s kind of saying ‘come on in and keep me captive. I’m all yours’”
The music video is unlike any other Hockey Dad video you’ve seen before. Filmed in LA with their friend and director Laban Pheidias (Justin Bieber, Warpaint), it was an intense shoot with costume design, production and many actors which was all a first for the band.
“The make-up and wardrobe was probably the funnest but also the most uncomfortable part of the day. We were coated in thick body paint and face masks during the steamy LA day whilst skating. But it was worth it to creep people out who were walking by us.” Zach shares.
Hockey Dad’s highly anticipated third studio album, Brain Candy will be released on May 29 featuring both ‘Itch’ and ‘I Missed Out’. The thirteen track album was produced, engineered and mixed by John Goodmanson at Robert Lang Studios (Bikini Kill, Blonde Redhead, Death Cab for Cutie, Los Campesinos) and was mastered by Troy Glessner (Alice in Chains, The Blood Brothers, Foo Fighters).
Hockey Dad have had a huge start to 2020 and have just finished up Laneway Festival across the country and in New Zealand. Their recent single ‘I Missed Out’ scored a casual #60 in this year’s triple j’s Hottest 100 only weeks after being released.
In their few moments of downtime, the bushfire tragedy hit home for Hockey Dad. The duo put their heads together and decided to throw a massive show in their hometown bowlo in Windang which later had to be moved to the larger North Wollongong Hotel to cater for demand. The show, also featuring Tumbleweed, Odette and Pist Idiots, went on to raise a whopping $150,000 with the proceeds going to South Coast Bushfire Relief.

Brisbane’s number one charmer Young Franco will be bringing his infectious grooves across Australia this July in headline format for the first time since 2018. Astral People and Handsome Tours are thrilled to welcome one of Australia’s most exciting producers back to the stage for some dance-inducing beats set to keep you warm this winter.
Franco’s no stranger to the scene, having now clocked over 50 million streams on Spotify alone, it’s clear Young Franco is not one to look past. Over the years he's racked up support from wide array of radio stations such such as triple j, BBC Radio 1 and Kiss FM, but caught the attention of artists like RÜFÜS, Rudimental, Nvoy, Snakehips, SG Lewis, Flight Facilities, Hayden James and Alison Wonderland.
Despite being physically locked down in 2020, this didn't stop him from releasing a litany of instant ear worms in the form of ‘Juice’, a Pell assisted banger with over 8 million Spotify plays and his most recent track ‘Fallin’ Apart’ with Denzel Curry and Pell. Rapidly becoming a fan favourite, ‘Fallin’ Apart’ has amassed well over 3 million streams on Spotify in just a few months, as well as receiving praise from triple j and Purple Sneakers. It serves as a perfect refresher of Young Franco’s concise musical abilities, managing to show off so much in so little time. Again assisted by Pell but this time with an extra gravelly Denzel Curry, ‘Fallin’ Apart’ shows both rappers weave amidst bouncy piano riffs, rolling bass and robotic vocal chops to create a groove so contagious you can’t help but move.
2021 has already seen the release of the ’Fallin’ Apart’ remixes as well as a newly gold accredited ‘Miss You’. Plus, in extremely exciting news Franco's track 'Fallin Apart' received a sync in the new Apple AirPods Pro commercial which was premiered at none other than the Grammy's. With a whole host of new exciting things in the works, it's set to be a huge year Young Franco!
His unmatched, smiling stage persona greets you amidst an epic jam selection and fantastic original productions; Young Franco is here to win fans and friends alike. So, waste no time, these shows are set to be filled with the boogie-ready winter warmers that you've been waiting for via an all new live show from the man himself.

ZOOT, one of Australia’s most-loved bands of the late ’60s, early ’70s, is re-forming for four shows only. And the band – featuring Beeb Birtles, Rick Springfield and Rick Brewer– will be joined by their close friend and contemporary Russell Morris.

The tour – ZOOT’s first Australian shows in nearly 50 years – is dedicated to the band’s lead singer, Darryl Cotton, who died of liver cancer in 2012.
“This whole tour is about honouring Darryl Cotton and his band ZOOT,” Rick Springfield says. “Darryl also had a band with Russell Morris, Jim Keays and Ronnie Burns for 16 years, so it’s great to have Russell celebrating Darryl by joining ZOOT.”
Russell says the tour will be a “labour of love”.
“I am not trying to be Darryl,” Russell points out. “But as I worked with Darryl for so long, he is a part of me. And I know how much he cared about ZOOT, so I will give it my very best.”
The reunion celebrates the 50thanniversary of ZOOT’s debut album, Just Zoot,and follows the release of the ZOOT anthology, Archaeology.
“Who would have thought we’d still be performing ZOOT songs 50 years after the release of Just Zoot,” smiles Beeb, who started ZOOT in Adelaide with Darryl Cotton. “Nevertheless, here we are with ZOOT in 2020!”
Aside from 2007’s Countdown Spectacular, this will be Rick Springfield’s first Australian appearances since 1971.
Often referred to as “a supergroup in reverse” – after the band broke up in 1971, Beeb Birtles was a founding member of Little River Band, Rick Springfield became a solo star in the US, and Rick Brewer joined The Ferrets – ZOOT were crowned Australia’s Best Group in Go-Set in 1969 and had a string of hits, including ‘One Times, Two Times, Three Times, Four’, ‘Monty and Me’, ‘The Freak’, and their blistering cover of The Beatles’ ‘Eleanor Rigby’.

As the first stadium tour announcement since the advent of COVID-19 and border closures pressed pause on touring, it's fair to say our appetite for live music performances by international megastars has peaked and in Guns N' Roses we trust!
As the name of GNR’s 2017 tour suggests, many GNR fans once believed that they would only be able to experience founding members Axl, Slash and Duff sharing a stage again in their dreams. But then the band’s classic line-up regrouped for Coachella 2016 and the Not In This Lifetime tour was announced shortly afterwards, thrilling fans all over the world until November, 2019.
The Australian leg of Guns N' Roses' Not In This Lifetime stadium tour marked the first time that Australian fans witnessed Axl, Slash and Duff reunited since 1993's Use Your Illusion tour and the band's onstage chemistry was undeniable.
GNR's 2021 Australian tour is the light at the end of the bleak tunnel we’ve all negotiated this year. All aboard the Nightrain to Paradise City for what promises to be a heaving celebration of the unbreakable human spirit!

Cowboy Junkies
February 1st 2022
Canadian alt-country pioneers Cowboy Junkies will return to Australian and New Zealand for the first time in 20 years in May 2020.
Anyone who has followed Cowboy Junkies’ three-decade-long journey knows the band has always remained true to its unique artistic vision. In 1988, they proved that there was an audience waiting for something quiet, beautiful and reflective. The Trinity Session was like a whisper that cut through the noise with its introspective, quiet intensity. Their new album, All That Reckoning, once again gently shakes the listener to wake up. It may be the most powerful album Cowboy Junkies have yet recorded.
Cowboy Junkies inadvertently started a revolution when they appeared in the late ‘80s. The Trinity Session featured the band’s unforgettable cover of the Velvet Underground’s “Sweet Jane”, and combined folk, country, blues and rock in a way that had never been heard before. It went on to sell more than a million copies but its influence was broader and deeper. Indeed the record presaged the subsequent alternative-country movement in the ‘90s and beyond, with its general mood – the album had been recorded in a church with the group performing around a single microphone.
