From the haunted streets of Melbourne, Australia’s thriving heart of alternative culture, emerges the Gothic Metal sensation Victoria K. With two successful albums and a pandemic-era live DVD already showcasing the majesty of the band’s sound, Victoria K are on their cusp of their triumphant return with their most powerful album yet, ‘The Pleasure of Sorrow’.

Victoria K invite you to join them as they showcase their critically acclaimed gothic masterpiece The Pleasure of Sorrow to the live stage for an unforgettable evening of operatic gothic grandeur, heavy orchestration and raw emotional power. This will not be just a musical performance; it is a darker and more intimate sound, combining gothic atmospheres, modern heaviness, haunting melodies and emotionally driven songwriting, expanding the band’s sonic identity while exploring themes of grief, mortality, vulnerability and rebirth.

Joining Victoria K for this evening of brutal melancholy are:

Wallet Inspector with an instrumental style incorporating elements of progressive metal, jazz fusion, death metal, djent and funk, Wallet Inspector’s music is hard to classify in a single genre. The music showcases virtuosity through guitars, bass and drumming in the absence of vocals to take the listener on a journey often with multiple themes in a single track. The band has gained attention with their polyrhythmic riffing, metric modulation, seamless blending of styles and microtonal elements.

Beautiful Bedlam an alternative/experimental rock band from Melbourne. Since their debut album (released May 2021), they have recruited Benjamin Wylie as their vocalist/frontman (December 2023). Their debut album received airplay and sales (CDs, vinyl & digital) worldwide, but most notably in Australia, USA, Europe and Japan. The album was released with two lyric videos and one film clip. They have since released pro-shot live videos from their 'Live at The Band Booth' EP (31st July 2024). This showcases four songs from their upcoming second album (due late 2026).

Alien Fingers are a 5-piece Melbourne band blending progressive rock, metal, jazz, funk and fusion. Their music is equal parts funky, catchy, technical and unapologetically weird. Having shared the stage with bands like Toehider and Wallet Inspector, Alien Fingers have released two EPs and are now working on their debut full-length album - an ambitious concept record/ rock opera certain to please prog heads far and wide.
