Tarntanya/Adelaide-based five-piece alt/indie folk band, Any Young Mechanic, will embark on their 2026 Australian Tour in support of their celebrated debut album, 'The Modern Shoe is Ruining The Foot.'  The album was released in June via Warner Records / 23 Recordings to overwhelming critical acclaim. 

Taking their name from a line in Hooray For Hollywood — inspired by the song’s jarring use in Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye — Any Young Mechanic bring an aptly cinematic quality to their music. The Tarntanya/Adelaide-based five-piece are redefining contemporary folk through narrative-driven songwriting and vivid, widescreen arrangements. Before ever officially releasing music, they have already started building a reputation on the road, turning heads with striking festival appearances at Reading & Leeds and Rock en Seine over the past year, and are set to return to touring throughout the year ahead. Drawing on classical training, the city’s tight-knit DIY music scene, and modern UK experimental influences, they craft immersive songs built from criss-crossing rhythmic paths, melodic alleys and lyrical highways. Capturing the immediacy and energy of musicians performing together, Any Young Mechanic balance folk’s enduring charm with bold, live acoustic instrumentation and a sharp, contemporary edge, creating music that feels intimate, expansive, and subtly different with every listen.

Following their comeback special the Sistine Guns take the Old Bar stage to celebrate their first single in over 2 years, ‘End of The Night’, accompanied by the beautifully vicious Unscored and Freud & The Family Solution. Brace yourselves for a chaotic celebration that cannot be missed. Get in, get weird.

Pub-punk misfits The Antics are hitting the road for their very first headlining tour!

After a busy year which included the release of their debut record and subsequent sold out launch, the hard ‘n’ fast rockers are bringing the ruckus up the coast with the All Bets Are Off
tour!

Operating on Wurundjeri land, The Antics have carved out a hectic journey over the past year; touring with These New South Whales and Delivery, support slots for C.O.F.F.I.N., Cosmic Psychos and Mini Skirt, as well as their self-titled debut album, released via Rack Off Records.

Pairing the unrelenting drive and electric riffage of punk’s progenitors with scathing lyrics on femininity, police corruption and the human experience - they’re tough, and they’re rockin’ up at your doorstep whether you like it or not!

Too Big For Your Pockets follows a pair of young pickpocketing friends on their routine night of stealing from the wealthy. It all unravels when one crosses a moral boundary, triggering a conflict that threatens their friendship.

Presale $15 or $20 on the door.

LUNATIC
SPACEJUNK
THE HYBERNATORS

It's now 6 years of horrible feedback laden rock fuck, and LUNATIC have just released their 3rd album simply titled 'NO'.
No label, no money, no care, no skill, no conversations, no luck, no more, no you, no me, no petrol, no food, no sun, no shoes, no shirt, no entry, no fun, no standing, no cash here, no fuckin' around
NO
Fresh off a recent European tour of hot shit and windless lungs, it's time to punch this thing out in the hometown with some mates.
Spacejunk & The Hybernators, two bands who also make noises simply putting their shoes on, at the home of the 'corns, The Old Bar.

No is No, but this is a hell yeah.

Australian indie alt-rock trio Polly have announced the Maybe Australian Tour in support of their new EP Maybe.

The run of shows will see the band take their dynamic live set across the country, marking their most ambitious touring run to date. With momentum at an all-time high, the Maybe Australian Tour captures a band stepping into a defining new chapter, bringing their latest material to stages nationwide. Tickets go on sale, Saturday May 30 at midday [INSERT LINK]

The announcement follows the release of recent single Tell Your Friends, a raw and resonant track that highlights Polly’s balance of vulnerability and intensity.

Polly have steadily built momentum off the back of a string of releases earning national attention, including support from triple j and triple j Unearthed. Known for their energetic live shows and honest, guitar-driven songwriting, the three-piece have quickly established themselves as one of Australia’s most exciting emerging indie acts.

Having already shared stages with Spacey Jane, Hockey Dad, The Belair Lip Bombs and The Grogans, Polly now bring that growing reputation to a full national run, with the Maybe tour set to introduce the band to their widest audience yet.

Spacemanbad are a fast-paced indie band comprised of three brothers, one Irishman and 10-20 pedals. Bursting with energy and shared experience, their synergy brings tight rhythms, idiosyncratic riffs and haunting harmony to the forefront of every show. Accompanied by Brisbane-birthed Indie-outfit Broadcasting, and electronic duo, Beissel and Green, Spacemanbad's debut headline gig on September 1st will be a high impact, sonically diverse affair, and the first of many to come.
