Australian / New Zealand Acts


Spacey Jane

After a whirlwind start to 2026 that’s cemented their status as one of Australia’s hottest global exports, Spacey Jane announce their long‑awaited return to home soil with the Heading Back Down Under Australian Tour. Kicking off with two huge nights at Brisbane’s Riverstage on Thursday 26 and Friday 27 November, the tour rolls into Melbourne the following week for back‑to‑back shows at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Adelaide fans can catch the band at The Drive, before they take over the Sydney Opera House steps. The run wraps with a triumphant two‑night hometown finale at Perth’s ICF OUTDOOR.

And if one night with Spacey Jane just won’t cut it, fans can pick up a special ‘Two Show Pass’ when purchasing tickets, granting entry to both nights in any city hosting a double run. Joining Spacey Jane nationally at all shows are acclaimed Melbourne band Telenova and opening proceedings is Melbourne indie duo Armlock.

The band became a hometown sensation after the release of Sunlight, topping Triple J’s annual album poll with breakout single ‘Booster Seat’ and earning the ARIA for Song of the Year. Inspired by the success of their debut album, Spacey Jane got to work on their sophomore album, which debuted at #1 on the ARIA Charts and earned them the title of Triple J’s most played artist in 2022.

DC Maxwell

In anticipation of his forthcoming album The Singer, DC Maxwell recently announced the Australian album tour dates for this August. The announcement follows DC Maxwell’s recent intimate show “In The Round at Emerald Hall”, a stripped-back homage to 90s MTV Unplugged, which saw the singer perform with striking semi-orchestral arrangements of his new songs. The austere approach showed that his music is enough to stand on their own, and remain in step with DC’s longstanding live reputation to deliver memorable experiences no matter the format.

DC Maxwell is a Melbourne based, Aotearoa raised alternative rock artist whose music blends poetic lyricism with a high octane punk performance. He is a fierce performer who with the frenetic energy of a punk preacher, physically embodies each of his songs with intense passion.

Gigs Coming Soon

Rochelle Jordan

With just over a week until acclaimed alt-R&B and soul artist Rochelle Jordan brings her genre-blurring sound and dance floor energy to Australia, supports have now been announced for her Through The Wall Tour dates at 170 Russell, Melbourne on Thursday 28 May and The Crowbar, Brisbane on Friday 29 May.

Naarm-based DJ, producer and vocalist JUPiTA will warm up the crowd at 170 Russell. Known for genre-fluid sets that fuse reggaeton, dembow and tribal rhythms, JUPiTA crafts immersive, high-energy dancefloor experiences that feel both physical and spiritual.

Rochelle’s official DJ, LA-based DJ CHRYSALIS will command the crowd before the self-proclaimed “conductor of the vibe” takes the stage across both shows. Defined as a transitional state, a space of transformation, commands the decks with a set that dissolves boundaries between ambience and impact. Blending atmospheric textures with heavy-hitting percussion, she moves fluidly across genres to create a sonic journey that is both ethereal and driving.
