LA DISPUTE

TUESDAY 11 DECEMBER –
NORTHCOTE SOCIAL CLUB, MELBOURNE (18+)
WITH SELF TALK

WEDNESDAY 12 DECEMBER –
FACTORY THEATRE, SYDNEY (LIC AA)
WITH RACHEL MARIA COX

La Dispute has a firm passion for the concept of music and art as a medium for making new friends. As a result, La Dispute makes (or strives to make) music that is both artistically, technically, and emotionally engaging. La Dispute also carries a firm passion for the relevance of a live show, both for the bands involved and for the people in attendance, and will go to the grave believing that the environment created when strangers come together despite their differences to celebrate one important thing is invaluable and should not under any circumstances be taken for granted. They’ll be performing two headline sideshows in Melbourne and Sydney

THE WONDER YEARS

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS BOSTON MANOR

THURSDAY 6 DECEMBER –
STAY GOLD, MELBOURNE (18+)
WITH JUST ABOUT DONE

MONDAY 10 DECEMBER –
OXFORD ART FACTORY, SYDNEY (18+)
WITH ZEN HAIRCUTS

Hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, The Wonder Years are a band made up of old friends, playing rock & roll music. They write songs about love, loved ones and a city – that could be the city you live in or a neighbourhood that feels like it could be your neighbourhood. Catch them perform two headline sideshows in Melbourne and Sydney with Blackpool’s Boston Manor as special Guests.

This will mark the first trip to Australia for Boston Manor. Their second album, Welcome To The Neighbourhood, produced by Mike Sapone (Taking Back Sunday, Mayday Parade, Public Enemy) is a soundtrack to disenfranchisement set in a fictionalised version of the band’s hometown. It inhabits an unapologetically bleak one, a world rife with poverty and drug addiction, boarded up shops and a population unable to escape a predicament they didn’t even know they were in.

WATERPARKS

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS PALAYE ROYALE*

WEDNESDAY 5 DECEMBER –
THE LAIR, SYDNEY (18+)*

THURSDAY 6 DECEMBER –
HOWLER, MELBOURNE (18+)

*Palaye Royale not appearing in Sydney

Waterparks, the Houston trio have kept it real and catapulted to international renown as a result of a signature style that seamlessly slips-n-slides between rock, pop, and alternative. Their full-length debut, Double Dare, earned a rare 4.5-out-of-5 star rating from Alternative Press and spawned the hit Stupid For You, which generated over 4.6 million Spotify streams and counting. Supporting them in Melbourne is Canadian fashion-rock trio Palaye Royale.

Christened as both “The Hottest Band of 2018” and simply “the” group of the year, by the English music press, Palaye Royale throwback with a sonic crunch, visual flair, and reckless live performances. Palaye Royale draw as much inspiration from cinema and philosophy as they do from their musical muses.

SCARLXRD

TUESDAY 11 DECEMBER –
THE BRIGHTSIDE, BRISBANE (18+)

WEDNESDAY 12 DECEMBER –
