Montaigne - Glorious Heights 10th Anniversary Tour

Ultimately this is one of the best debut rock & roll albums made in this country. It's up there with Sunnyboys and Stoneage Romeos..."

– Toby Creswell, Rolling Stone 1986

Forty years on from the release of their classic debut album 12 Days to Paris - and with an anniversary vinyl edition out June 5 on Cheersquad - beloved Melbourne '80s band the Huxton Creepers are all set for their first national run of dates since 2011. The shows will see them playing for the first time ever 12 Days to Paris in its entirety, as well all their other fan favourites.

The Huxton Creepers were one of Australia's most popular and hardest working guitar bands of that prolific decade. Loved around the land, they first emerged as a sort of teenaged version of both Sunnyboys and Hoodoo Gurus with a bit of ‘80s Saints thrown in for good measure—big guitars and big hooks were the order of the day— and in turn they had a big influence on the next generation of bands, including noted fans in Powderfinger and You Am I.

The band released two albums back in the day, and their debut 12 Days To Paris is an acknowledged classic, chock full as it is with classic singles like “My Cherie Amour”, “I Will Persuade You“ and "Autumn Leaves" and longtime crowd pleasers like "King of the Road" and "Don't Even Think About It'. Which is not to discount later gems like "Skin of My Teeth" and "Small Mercies", and great covers like "Shake Some Action", all of which fans can expect to hear again in 2026.

The band has played several reunions over the years, including shows with friends Sunnyboys, The Stems and Ups and Downs. Every time they play the feeling comes flooding back and the muscle memories kick in and it's like they never left. With a big anniversary to celebrate this year original members Rob Craw, Matthew Eddy and Arch Law are joined by new lead guitarist Julian Matthews (of longtime pals The Stems). The band is raring to go and these shows are not to be missed.

The Drones

“The Drones evoke the Angry Penguins cultural movement, reinventing – and repudiating”

The Guardian

“Liddiard has disdain for the idea of a songwriting muse with other-worldly inspiration; as quite possibly the best songwriter in Australia, he's concerned mainly with process and application. He simply had a task to complete.” Sydney Morning Herald

Back by popular demand after a 10-year sabbatical, The Drones are reforming for a one-off tour of Australia in 2026.

In June 2025 the band played mini sets for two fundraiser shows at the Croxton Bandroom in Melbourne. Shows sold out in 20 minutes, making it obvious that a lap of the country was in order!

So here you go, national dates, featuring songs spanning their seven studio albums! Don't miss your chance to see one of Australia's greatest underground bands live. This is a one-off tour.

Gareth Liddiard and Fiona Kitschin will take a mini break from their other baby, Tropical F Storm,which has spent the past ten years relentlessly touring the globe and releasing ARIA Award-winning records.

Sauntering along the edges of chaos and precision, The Drones built a reputation off the back of their iconic live shows, delivering epic performances that are both confrontational and liberating at the same time. Led by Gareth Liddard (Tropical F Storm, Springtime, Spencer P Jones and The Nothing Butts, Bond Odyssey), one of the most uncompromising, distinctive songwriters of modern times, marked by his dense poetic lyricism and spitting vocal style. Lauded by peers, fans and critics alike for his blend of political commentary, dark humour, vivid storytelling and brutal musical conveyance.

The Drones turned their outsider status into a badge of honour, releasing seven studio albums, withclassics like, ‘Taman Shud’, ‘To Think That I Once Loved You’, ‘Shark Fin Blues’, ‘Jezabel’, ‘Boredom’, ‘I See Seaweed’, ‘How To See Through Fog’ and ‘River Of Tears’.

They won the inaugural Australian Music Prize, for their LP ‘Wait Long by the River and the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float By’, and toured with the likes of Neil Young, Pattie Smith, The Dirty Three, to name a few.

In 2016, they returned to where it all began for five sold-out nights straight at The Tote. You can watch one full set here!

They will be joined by good mates and fellow Australian Music Prize winners, The Mess Hall, whohave also returned to live touring in 2026 after a decade-long hiatus. The Sydney powerhouse two-piece made a triumphant return at OK Motels’ Charlton edition earlier this year. Jed remains hot; they both still have hair. Albums include Notes From A Ceiling, Devils Elbow and For The Birds.

Coined by Wall of Sound as “the five-piece you didn’t know you needed in your life,” Brisbane outfit ZUKO have spent the last few years proving exactly why.

Joined by New Zealand heavyweights Xile, these shows are set to be some of the most talked-about of the year.

Often likened to legendary artists such as Fifth Dimension, The Mamas and The Papas, and ABBA, the band have had some incredible viral success throughout the career - including their 2024 hit ‘Haters Anthem’ which has seen over 300 million streams since release and even landing them an endorsement from Doja Cat.

The band are currently in the midst of a hefty world tour across Europe, Asia the US in support of their latest single ‘London Foxes’, a bold, playful track that blends their signature harmonies with a fresh sonic edge. Amongst the extensive tour list, the band have recently played at festivals such as All Together Now Festival (IRE), Kampnagel Summerfestival (Germany), Haldern Pop Festival (Germany), Flow Festival OY (Finland) and Summer Sonic Festival (Japan).

Their debut Australian tour last year was an overwhelming success, selling out their Melbourne show at the Night Cat and leaving punters spellbound with their captivating performances.

Alongside major capital city shows, the band will take this new era on the road with a run of regional dates, bringing their ever-evolving live show to audiences across the country.

Cheesy Love Songs feels like a love letter to the classic pop form; breezy and effortless on the surface, but the result of a deliberate and hard-won creative process. Arriving four years after their debut, the album sees the Sydney four-piece refine their sound into something both ornate and carefree, showcasing some of Australia’s most compelling young songwriters and performers. Inspired by the minimalist approach of producers like Rick Rubin, the band allowed the songs to shine without excess, drawing from a lineage that includes Sparklehorse, Amy Winehouse and The Beach Boys.

Renowned for their immersive and dynamic live shows, The Lazy Eyes will bring Cheesy Love Songs to life alongside fan favourites such as Fuzz Jam and Where's My Brain??? that have already amassed millions of streams worldwide. After selling out headline shows across Australia, the UK and US, the band is now moving into larger rooms, delivering their most ambitious tour yet.

MONSTERS OF THRASH: FLOTSAM AND JETSAM (USA) + MORTAL SIN w/ Hidden Intent & Livewire

AUSTRALIAN TOUR 2026 ANNOUNCED

For the first time ever down under, US thrash metal legends Flotsam and Jetsam will join forces with Australian thrash pioneers Mortal Sin for a devastating co-headline tour across Australia this September and October.

Like a two-headed beast of pure thrash fury, these genre-defining acts will deliver a relentless assault for Australian fans, bringing together decades of history, influence and raw power in one unmissable run.

Over a career spanning more than 40 years, Flotsam and Jetsam have stood shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Venom, earning their place as one of thrash metal’s most respected and enduring names. From their landmark debut Doomsday for the Deceiver - famously awarded the only ever 6K rating in Kerrang! history - through to modern thrash masterpieces like The End of Chaos, Blood in the Water and I Am The Weapon, the Arizona legends continue to prove why they remain one of the genre’s most ferocious live acts.

The band now return armed with a brand-new album, Rats In The Temple, due out August 28 via Napalm Records. Described by vocalist Eric “A.K.” Knutson as “our best effort to date,” the record delivers 13 tracks of razor-sharp thrash packed with crushing riffs, ornate guitar harmonies, pummelling rhythms and dark lyrical themes centred around war, betrayal and human destruction. Early reports are already calling the album another major step forward in the band’s ongoing modern-era resurgence.

Fronted by the unmistakable voice of A.K. Knutson, Flotsam and Jetsam continue to thrive with arguably their strongest modern lineup yet, featuring founding guitarist Michael Gilbert alongside guitar shredder Steve Conley, powerhouse drummer Ken Mary - known for his work with Alice Cooper and Accept - and technically blistering bassist Bill Bodily.

Fresh from their long-awaited return to the stage, Mortal Sin continue to cement their place as Australia’s most influential thrash export. Following their comeback tour and exclusive appearances at major European festivals including Keep It True Festival, Alcatraz Metal Festival and Brutal Assault, alongside headline runs across Europe and Australia, the band show no signs of slowing down. This tour sees them bring their iconic catalogue and renewed firepower to Australian stages alongside an international thrash heavyweight, making for a truly special run of shows.

Joining them on all dates are South Australian thrash outfit Hidden Intent, known for their relentless live energy and global touring presence, alongside Sydney speed metal force Livewire, rounding out a stacked lineup of Australian heavy music.
