**ASH
(IRL)
'1977' 30th Anniversary Tour**

**Guests: The Wellingtons**

"Ash rule. They are geniuses. Gods maybe."- NME

Ireland's favourite power pop trio, Ash, finally return to Australia and New Zealand to Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of their iconic debut album, '1977', by performing the album in full. Released in 1996, the album's title references both the decade the band members were born in and the year Star Wars first hit cinemas.

'1977' has sold more than 2 million copies worldwide and was written, recorded and released when most of Ash were still only 19. A cinematic punk-pop soundtrack to binge drinking, chasing girls, youth and frustrated adolescent idealism, the album fused power pop, glam rock, post-grunge and Britpop into a loud, melodic and exuberant sound.

It struck a chord with the hearts, minds and hormones of a generation of like-minded teens, delivering a run of singles including &ldquo;Girl From Mars&rdquo;, &ldquo;Kung Fu&rdquo;, &ldquo;Angel Interceptor&rdquo;, &ldquo;Goldfinger&rdquo; and &ldquo;Oh Yeah&rdquo; &mdash; all of which reached the UK Top 20 and helped cement Ash's reputation.

The 30th Anniversary Celebration of '1977' will give Ash fans the chance to relive the album that featured &ldquo;hit after honey-topped hit&rdquo; and Britpop ruled the airwaves. Oh yeah!

**CloZee**
**(FRA)**

She sold it out last time without breaking a sweat. Now CloZee is coming back.

Toulouse-born producer Chlo&eacute; Herry, who records and performs as CloZee, is returning to Melbourne's Northcote Theatre for what is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated electronic music events of the year, presented by two of the city's most trusted names in underground music: The Operatives and Whomp.

If you missed her last run here, you already know the feeling. The room sold out well in advance, and for good reason: CloZee doesn't just play a set, she builds a world. Her signature "World Bass" sound, a genre-bending fusion of global instrumentation, organic field recordings, and thundering low-end hits differently in a room this size. Northcote Theatre's intimacy and its famously tuned sound system turns her music into something more sensory than sonic.

This time, expect the full experience. CloZee's live shows pair her meticulous sound design with bespoke visuals and a lighting rig that reframes the room completely. From the meditative build to the floor-shaking drop, there's a reason fans follow her across cities and continents.

The Operatives, one of Melbourne's longest-running electronic music collective, have been doing this for over two decades. Their instinct for matching the right artist to the right room, the right crowd, the right moment, is revered in this city. And Whomp, Melbourne's dedicated bass music events company with a laser focus on IDM, glitch hop and electronica, are the perfect co-presenters for an artist who lives in those sonic intersections.

This is the show you missed last time. Don't make it two.

**KATATONIA
(SWE)**

**Guests: Victoria K**

Swedish masters of dark melody KATATONIA return to Australia and New Zealand in 2026, bringing songs from their haunting new album *Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State* to life on stage, plus major milestones from the band's extensive catalogue of astounding albums.

 'Stagnation' is not a word in the Katatonia dictionary. Since breaking through as masters of death/doom, Stockholm's freethinkers have transcended genre, consolidating goth, shoegaze and prog into bleak, melodic songs.

After three decades of invention and reinvention, *Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State* marks another bold leap – not to mention singer, founder and lead songwriter Jonas Renkse's most personal effort to date.

Drawing from such albums such as the powerful *The Great Cold Distance* and *Dead End Kings*, Katatonia's live concerts deliver a fan's feast of dazzling experimentation which is astonishingly more metal than ever without holding back on the anthems. The dark hooks and tender vocals remain, yet the band also drive in unpredictable directions while delivering their hardest riffs in years.

Rejoice! It's time to bring KATATONIA's haunting brilliance and signature vibrant darkness back to stages across Australia & NZ.

 Katatonia shows regularly sell out – Do not miss your opportunity to catch Katatonia live in 2026!

&ldquo;The Swedes played gems from their back catalogue, spanning over twenty years, and fans were losing their minds. It's quite a picture to watch fans scream with excitement to the soft opening chord to a song that begins so minutely different to the last – some serious passion.&rdquo; - *Wall of Sound*

&ldquo;It's hard to say what the highlights of Katatonia's performance were because my notes on every song are something along the lines of &ldquo;killer riff&rdquo;, &ldquo;solid crowd engagement&rdquo;, &ldquo;killer face melting solo&rdquo; or something to that effect.&rdquo; - *Everyday Metal*
*
 *&ldquo;&hellip; with each cheer the atmosphere of anticipation became Swedish masters of dark melody **KATATONIA** return to Australia and New Zealand in 2026denser and more leaden&hellip; bursting the proleptic bubble and sending the crowd into a frenzy.&rdquo; *The Rockpit*

&ldquo;Katatonia is one of the best musical acts in the world&hellip; All we can do is continue to watch in awe and enjoy being witness to the masters at work.&rdquo; *Dead Rhetoric*
