If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a banned Singaporean punk, a Melbourne guitar hero, and a lifetime’s worth of chaos are shoved into one human being, the answer is Sanny Veloo.
Fresh off sold-out shows in Melbourne and Singapore, tearing up the East Coast, supporting Fall Out Boy and British India, and collaborating with Gotye and G Flip, Sanny now unleashes his long-awaited debut album. Produced by ARIA Award-winner Michael Badger, it arrives charged with swaggering riffs, soaring guitar solos, festival-sized choruses and the kind of storytelling that makes even the cynics lean forward.
The night features an outrageously strong support lineup:
Kittyhawks
Ska-punk superheroes whose shows resemble a friendly riot. Triple J airplay. Festival slots. Unreasonably fun.
Danger Den
Darwin-born, Melbourne-based pop-punk energy with heart, hooks and a dog named Daisy who deserves her own award.
Kaiyah Mercedes
At 18, already rewriting the rulebook for indie pop rock. Cinematic, fearless and unforgettable. A future icon in real time.
And here’s the most important part:
Sanny Veloo shows are not normal gigs. They are social laboratories disguised as concerts. People sing with strangers. Arms go around shoulders. By the end of the night, you will absolutely have a new friend, or at the very least, a shared na-na-na moment with someone you’ve never met.
If you want to feel part of something real — something loud, joyful and defiantly hopeful — this is the show.
Come for the riffs.
Stay for the community.
Leave slightly changed.
This is the birth of an album and the beginning of a new moment in Australian rock.
