After rocking its way right around the country last year, the Aussie rock revolution that is Spring Loaded is back for 2023, with its first event (of many) set to shake up Bribie Island’s Sandstone Point Hotel (Queensland) on June 3. Boasting yet another reliably colossal line-up drenched in 90s Aussie alt-rock nostalgia, 2023’s incarnation will host a haul of the decade’s most celebrated acts, including Spiderbait, Eskimo Joe, Ratcat, Shihad, Frenzal Rhomb, Magic Dirt, Bodyjar and Screamfeeder.
Tickets to Spring Loaded at Sandstone Point Hotel will go on sale at 10am AEST on Friday 24 February through Ticketmaster and Oztix, with a 48 hour presale kicking off at 10am AEST on Wednesday 22 February.
“What a great lineup, we are so stoked to be headlining, will be awesomely awesome!” says Kram from Spiderbait. “A lot of great memories for us playing with amazing bands like Magic Dirt & Screamfeeder – to have 3 legends like Janet, Adalita and Kellie all on the same show will be brilliant and beautiful, and all the other great bands of brothers as well, we can’t wait!”
Keen to be getting in on the action, Eskimo Joe frontman Kav Temperley explains, “When I see lineups like the upcoming Spring Loaded festival, I get so excited, these are all bands that have influenced our band in a major way, so to be included in this stellar lineup is just such an honour – Spiderbait, Ratcat, Shihad, Frenzal Rhomb, Magic Dirt, Bodyjar and Screamfeeder, seriously, who could ask for more?”
Excited to be back for another round, Magic Dirt’s Adalita enthuses, “We’re mega excited to be rockin’ the Spring Loaded stage again this year. Back with our good mates, back with the awesome fans and ready to rock out! And this time we get to play with one of favourite bands that totally influenced us as kids – RATCAT! We can’t wait!”
