The Prince Bandroom's November is a month of long-awaited returns and well-teased hair.
It’s all on the cards for the Prince Bandroom this November.
It opens with a UK grime heavyweight back in Melbourne after almost a decade, then swings to a double dose of US glam rock before a Chicago rapper and an Irish underground favourite take over the back half of the month.

- Date: Thursday 5 November
- Tickets here
English rapper Ocean Wisdom is heading back to Melbourne for the first time since his 2017 Australian tour.
His quick-fire, razor-sharp take on grime has earned him a worldwide following and collabs with Dizzee Rascal, Method Man and P Money.
He’s been away a while, so this one’s a rare chance to catch him live. Capacity is limited, and only the final ticket release is left.
RU Pretty Enuff Tour: Enuff Z’Nuff and Pretty Boy Floyd (USA)

- Date: Friday 6 November
- Tickets here
Two American glam-era survivors team up for a double bill of hooks, hairspray and unapologetic excess.
Enuff Z’Nuff are the cult power-pop favourites behind ‘Fly High Michelle’ and ‘New Thing’, while Pretty Boy Floyd are the Hollywood sleaze merchants who still carry the Sunset Strip’s loud, flashy spirit.
It’s not purely a nostalgia run, either. Both bands are still releasing new music and mixing it in with the classics.
Local XMusic acts are on the tour too, so expect a proper scene night.
Mick Jenkins

Chicago rapper Mick Jenkins returns to Melbourne for a headline show, bringing his thoughtful lyricism, laid-back delivery and jazz-leaning take on hip hop.
He’s one of the most respected voices in the genre, and his live shows have the reputation to match.
Kobie Dee, Jaal, Mxntano and Quaid Pearce support, along with the winner of an MC call-out. First-release tickets are gone, so don’t sleep on the second.

Ultra Naté’s whirlwind run through Victoria just got a bonus stop.
With headline sets at Strawberry Fields Festival and Riviera Beach Club already locked in, the dance music icon has squeezed in a second Melbourne show at the Prince Bandroom.
Expect her DJ and vocal live set, a big mix of dance music old and new. The chart-toppers are coming, including the anthem ‘Free’ and her current-favourite collab with Hugel, ‘Moving to the Sun’.
Haywire (USA) with Feel The Pain

- 25 November
- Tickets here
Haywire have a strong claim to being the hardest-working band going, and not just in hardcore. After touring Australia earlier this year in support of Poison The Well, they’re back as headliners for a run of more intimate shows.
The American outfit have a fresh Roadrunner Records LP, ‘I Don’t Wanna Say Goodbye’, out now, so expect plenty of it in the set.
Newcastle’s Feel The Pain are along for the ride. They opened 2026 sharing stages with Turnstile, Gridiron and Iron Mind, headed across the ditch for their first overseas shows, and now they’re locking in their first Australian tour of the year.
Buckshot

He’s racked up more than three million monthly listeners and is out with his latest project, INDIGO CHILD, which keeps him firmly among the most talked-about names in the underground.
