Our weekly update brings you a round up of new and exciting tour news and announcements for this week. Featuring who’s heading to Melbourne and where to grab your tickets.
International Artists
Geese
After a breakout year on the road touring Getting Killed, Geese will return to Australia and New Zealand in February and March for their largest headline shows in the region. The run builds on the band’s Australian headline debut in February, when feverishly sold-out underplays and a Laneway Festival run introduced the band to a much wider audience.
Formed in 2016 while its members were still at school, Geese are Cameron Winter (vocals), Emily Green (guitar), Dominic DiGesu (bass), and Max Bassin (drums). On the heels of frontman Cameron’s widely-lauded and mildly befuddling solo debut Heavy Metal in Dec 2024, his idiosyncratic, soul-searching personal journey led him back to Geese, the result of which was their critically acclaimed breakthrough album Getting Killed.

Their critically acclaimed debut album, Big Disgrace, introduced that world in full — a decadent collision of vintage spectacle, dancefloor catharsis and unapologetic individuality that has inspired a rabid and devoted fan community.

Having earned widespread critical acclaim and enthused audiences across the globe with their rapturous and hypnotic performances, the Canadian band’s debut Australian shows promise to be wild rides of twists and turns and creative abandon.
