Guttermouth – One Last Time farewell tour
- 10 October
- SOLD OUT
View this post on Instagram
Guttermouth has a reputation for wild tours and unfiltered punk rock behaviour (which saw them banned from Canada). But frontman Mark Adkins is done, this is the last go around the circuit. For real, this time. The Californian punk outfit formed in 1989 and the chaos hasn’t stopped since then. After over 20 years of visiting Australia, this gig is one of just seven shows – and this one’s on Adkins’ 60th birthday. Who knows what will happen when things kick off?
Stella Lefty

Rolling Stone called her a “country superstar”, and Stella Lefty is on the rise.
This LA-based artist is one of the most exciting new names in country, and this is one of only two headline shows she’s playing in Australia, as well as Strummingbird.
Famed for her stage presence, her music mingles pop and country elements with earnest, insightful storytelling.
Her single ‘Boston’ has now surpassed 170 million global streams, she’s performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and her EP, Is This Heaven?, debuted at No. 9 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.
Ghosts of Grunge – The Voices That Lived Loud and Died Young
- 16 October
- Tickets here
View this post on Instagram
Neither a cover band nor a tribute act, this is a show honouring late, great grunge legends who died too young: Layne Staley (Alice in Chains), Chris Cornell (Soundgarden), Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots), Shannon Hoon (Blind Melon) and Kurt Cobain (Nirvana).
Each song from these bands will draw you on a journey through the complexities, chaos and emotional depths of the sound that defined an era, executed by a live band of pros.
An homage for the true fans.
