Joining Tove Lo as support on all Australian tour dates is Salty, one of the country’s most exciting emerging pop voices.

Australian and NZ Artists
The Halves
To celebrate the release of their sophomore EP Opus, The Halves are heading on a four-date East Coast lap of Australia in November. Renowned for explosive live performances, The Halves have shared stages with artists including Swapmeet, Full Flower Moon Band, The Velvet Club and Select All. As their audience continues to grow nationwide, they’ve established themselves as one of Australia’s most exciting emerging alternative acts.
Following national touring for their singles Trackstar and Grace, Naarm-based band The Halves return with their sophomore EP Opus – a six-track collection that broadens the band’s sonic and emotional scope. From the relentless intensity of Trackstar to the euphoric optimism of Grace and the reflective vulnerability of Replacement, Opus reveals a band increasingly confident in embracing contrast without sacrificing the raw energy that first defined them.
Comprised of Tim Hardy, Chris White, Sam Sanders and Rory Watkins, The Halves continue to push beyond the boundaries of contemporary post-punk, pairing ambitious songwriting with an uncompromising live show as they enter their next chapter.

Reb Fountain
New Zealand singer-songwriter Reb Fountain brings her acclaimed new album Water for Gasoline to Australia this October for two special headline shows in Eora, Sydney, Friday 16th October, supported by New Zealand artist Adam Hattawayat Bootleggers and in Naarm, Melbourne, Saturday 17th October at The Curtain with Adam Hattaway and local favourite Dan Kelly.
Water for Gasoline delivers another striking body of work from one of New Zealand’s most acclaimed contemporary artists, a record that confronts the challenges of our times while searching for light, beauty and connection amongst the noise. The same artistic instinct and collective spirit that shapes Water for Gasoline has long defined Reb Fountain’s live performances, with her live band taking her recordings to the next level.
Reb will perform songs from the new album alongside favourites from her acclaimed catalogue, bringing the same intimate, instinctive energy that defines the recordings to Australian stages later this spring.

Gigs Coming Soon
Meg Carlin
Meg Carlin takes to the Espy stage for her first Melbourne headline show to kick off her Steady Goes EP launch tour.
An indie-folk artist from South Australia, Meg writes songs for people who feel everything a little too much. Covering love, change, grief, and figuring life out as you go, much like herself as a 20-something year old. Somewhere between folk and indie pop, her music is vulnerable, with influences from Lizzy McAlpine and Joni Mitchell.
With a growing audience across Australia and beyond, Meg’s upcoming EP ‘Steady Goes’ is set to blow your socks off, with the final track being released this November! If you’ve been listening from afar, this is your chance to finally catch her live. If you’ve never heard her before, there’s no better place to start.
Gig Date
Sunday 27 September The Espy Hotel St Kilda

Now, the four-piece return with Tally, their third album and most ambitious work to date. Marking the band’s tenth anniversary, Tally captures a group taking stock, embracing change and pushing their sound into bold new territory while retaining the wit, charm and sharp observations that have become their trademark.
