The Riddle Of Washpool Gully
July 7th - 11th 2020
From the creators of Laser Beak Man, Storm Boy and The Wider Earth, comes a new production of wonder and imagination, The Riddle of Washpool Gully.
Far beyond the outskirts of the big city, near a tiny town that nearly everyone forgot, lay a dry creek bed of no special significance.
Once upon a time it was called Washpool Gully.
But the world had moved on from insignificant things, and no one had time for dry creek beds. Except in Washpool Gully something was stirring. Shaken by the rumble of engines and the darkening of the sky, something long asleep had decided to wake up.
Combining old-fashioned storytelling with contemporary puppetry and miniature sets, The Riddle of Washpool Gully, performed by Terrapin Puppet Theatre and co-created with Dead Puppet Society, will present a reimagined tale of Australian mythology is a ere-imagined tale of Australian mythology about incredible creatures that might still live in the uncharted corners of our vast country.

Viral
August 20th -29th 2020
By definition, something that is “viral” spreads copies of itself or mutates other objects to become more like itself. The play examines the role of social media and technology and how it impacts the way we record, communicate and think about incidents of racism, abuse and violence in our community.
It investigates the line between disassociation and raising awareness about such events, asking the question “is it better to record these activities and post it on the Internet or step in and stop it from occurring in the first place”? Viral fuses physical theatre, verbatim style text, AV projections and political theatre as it looks at the role of the “bystander” in the modern age and the effects of living in an overly litigious society where everyone has access to a recording device that can broadcast every interaction to the entire World. Viral also explores desensitization, responsibility and the role of social media.

Originally locked in to grace our stages from February until May, Sydney rapper Chillinit has announced new dates to support his new album The Octagon, with a rescheduled tour ready to go down in October. The record came out in late January and debuted at #2 in the ARIA charts.
Having cut his teeth in Sydney's underground hip-hop scene, 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 his 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.

On his 18th Australian visit, Green continues a love affair with Australia that boasts multiple sold-out City and Colour tours, premiere sets at Splendour in the Grass and Bluesfest, a sold-out performance at the prestigious Sydney Opera House, and ARIA Top Ten spots for his last three studio albums.
Best known for cult gems like ‘The Girl’, ‘Lover Come Back’, and ‘Comin’ Home’, City and Colour eases confessional turbulences into enthralling swells of guitar-driven euphoria. Much adored for his emotionally intimate songs and crystalline live vocal, audience testimonials have earned him a dedicated fan base.
“Green’s voice is truly captivating. The range from near whispers to fearless belts wring every melancholic lyric out dry.” – NPR
This year saw City and Colour release his first new music in four years, beginning with kaleidoscopic single ‘Astronaut’ and follow-up ’Strangers’, a soaring track that Green says, “is about how you will never truly know another human being”.
His sixth studio album ‘A PILL FOR LONELINESS’ will be released next week, Friday October 4, and is produced by three-time Grammy winning Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Tom Waits).
Honing his live show in front of massive crowds at icon festivals including Coachella, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, City and Colour has over the years toured with P!nk, Neil Young, Alice in Chains, Ben Harper, Tegan and Sara and more.
Warming audiences around the country with her dynamic solo set is local singer-songwriter Alex Lahey. Lahey has played premiere music festivals including Falls, Splendour In The Grass, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Sasquatch, Osheaga and more. With a brand new album The Best Of Luck Club under her belt, and after delivering a standout cover of My Chemical Romance’s ‘Welcome To The Black Parade’ for triple j’s Like A Version last week, Lahey is a star on the rise.
An enthralling singer-songwriter, Dallas Green returns in April 2020 with brand new songs and crowd favourites. City and Colour’s Australian shows have historically sold out lightning fast, so do not sleep on tickets to this otherworldly live experience.

22nd Australasian fluid mechanics conference
December 6-10 2020
The Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference (AFMC) is held every two years with the support of the Australasian Fluid Mechanics Society (AFMS). The objectives of the conference are to provide an international forum for scientists, engineers, students, and educators to discuss Fluid Mechanics’ research, development, and innovation. The conference enables participants to present and discuss the latest trends and findings and to learn about best practice in their particular field(s) of interest. The conference has a long history dating back to 1962 when the inaugural conference was held in Western Australia.
A dynamic group of Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and the University of Queensland (UQ) academics have prepared a successful bid submission to the AFMS to host the 22nd AFMC in Brisbane. The AFMC was last held in Brisbane in 1980 and in Queensland in 2007 (Gold Coast). Brisbane would expect to attract 350-450 participants from all over the world to the conference in 2020. The four-day conference will be a showcase of the research strengths and expertise of Brisbane and South-East Queensland professionals in the Fluid Mechanics field. The technical program will encompass several keynote lectures by leading experts, including the George Bachelor lecture, named after the Australian researcher. Three days of technical presentations and plenary lectures will be held on the QUT Gardens Point Campus in Brisbane CBD and will be complemented by a full day at the UQ St Lucia Campus where keynotes, technical sessions and research laboratory tours will occur before the conference banquet in UQ’s Great Court.
The 22nd Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference will provide a strong technical and networking opportunity for government, research, and industry. Highlights of the 22nd AFMC will include:
- A strong commitment to promoting Fluid Mechanics in the broader community;
- Support for undergraduate student participation, in the form of two fee-waiver scholarships; and
- Promotion of gender balance in Fluid Mechanics.
We are confident that the 2020 conference will be the best ever Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference.

December 12th - 13th 2020
Handsome Tours is thrilled to announce that The National will return to Australia in March and April 2020. The visit will see the band perform at stunning venues across the country, including three intimate nights in Melbourne’s iconic Palais Theatre, two nights at ICC Sydney Theatre, a performance at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall and an evening under the stars at Fremantle Arts Centre. They will be supported on all dates by Phoebe Bridgers.
The tour will celebrate the release of The National’s eighth studio album I Am Easy To Find – out now via Remote Control Records / 4AD. Formed in 1999, the Ohio-raised, Brooklyn-based band consists of vocalist Matt Berninger plus two pairs of brothers: Aaron Dessner (guitar, bass, piano) and Bryce Dessner (guitar), and Scott Devendorf (bass, guitar) and Bryan Devendorf (drums).
The band’s most recent release I Am Easy To Find was a collaborative project with director Mike Mills. The results are I Am Easy To Find, a 24-minute film by Mills starring Alicia Vikander, and I Am Easy To Find, a 68-minute album by The National. The former is not the video for the latter; the latter is not the soundtrack to the former. The movie was composed like a piece of music; the music was assembled like a film, by a film director. The frontman and natural focal point were deliberately and dramatically side staged in favour of a variety of female voices, nearly all of whom have long been in the group’s orbit. It is unlike anything either artist has ever attempted and also totally in line with how they’ve created for much of their careers. The two projects are, as Mills calls them, “Playfully hostile siblings that love to steal from each other”—they share music and words and DNA and impulses and a vision about what it means to be human in 2019, but don’t necessarily need one another. I Am Easy To Find was produced by Mike Mills and The National at Long Pond, Hudson Valley, NY.
The National’s triumphant previous visit to Australia in 2018 included sold-out performances at Sydney Opera House Forecourt, Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl and Brisbane’s Riverstage. For their upcoming tour, the band will nestle into their most intimate Australian venues in a decade, delivering fans the raw intensity and emotion of their live show, up-close-and-personal like never before. Be quick – tickets will not last!
Joining The National on all dates will be special guest Phoebe Bridgers. Hailing from Los Angeles, Bridgers released her debut album Stranger In The Alps in 2017 to international acclaim, with haunting, introspective songs that garnered widespread comparisons to legendary songwriters like Elliott Smith and Joni Mitchell.

Biffy Clyro
January 14th 2021
Known for their anthemic alt-rock, Scotland's Biffy Clyro are a dynamic power trio marked by the throaty lead-vocal brogue of singer/guitarist Simon Neil.
Emerging in the early 2000s, Biffy Clyro drew loyal fans with their grunge, hardcore, and prog-rock-influenced sound that found them combining hooky choruses with unusual song forms and galloping rhythmic meters. While their early albums helped build their fan base in Britain, they broke through to an international audience with 2009's Only Revolutions, which peaked at number three on the U.K. album charts and earned a Mercury Prize nomination. The band continued to experiment, issuing the double-disc Opposites in 2013, and the soundtrack album Balance, Not Symmetry in 2019.
In Australia, Biffy Clyro’s most recent album – Ellipsis – debuted at #15 on the ARIA chart, their highest to date, and they have just announced they will be releasing their new album ‘A Celebration Of Endings’ on May 15.

Bon Iver

Don’t panic, the incredible Bon Iver is still bringing his music to Australian stages, it’s just a little later than he’d first planned. Originally locked in for May and June this year, the shows were set to make his first full tour Down Under in nine years. Bon Iver’s last extensive tour of Australia was back in 2012, though the band performed in Sydney for Vivid LIVE in 2016.

Lindsey Stirling
May 21st 2021
She’s back! After three years, electronic violinist, dancer and composer, Lindsey Stirling, will make her big return to Australia for four very special shows in support of her latest fifth studio album, Artemis.
Lindsey remains fearless enough to always dream big. In years following the release of her 2012 self-titled debut, the electronic music impresario quietly and humbly became one of the 21st century’s most innovative stars by clinging to her groundbreaking vision of cinematic violin-driven electronic music.
After bowing at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 and #1 on the Dance/Electronic Album Chart, holding #1 on the Classical Album Chart for 21 consecutive weeks, Lindsey went on to receive a Billboard Music Award for “Top Dance/Electronic Album,”. She has garnered over 11 million subscribers and 2 billion+ views on YouTube and her headline tours have attracted more than half a million people worldwide.
