10) OK Motels
14th & 15th May
What: OK Motels is heading back to their favourite Mallee town and making a weekend of it! They’ve made some extra fun on the Friday night if you want to take a sickie, with the ‘Locals vs Blow-ins’ Pool Comp and Mighty Duke and the Lords bringing the party. But if you can’t make it in time for that, don’t worry, Saturday is all about a ‘Friend Speed Dating Devo Tea’ with Tell Your Friends You Love Them and the ladies of the Charlton CWA. Saturday night, welcome back Blake Scott, who was the first ever artist to play the Charlton! This time he’s back on stage with his full band. Welcome some new acts to the function room, say hello to Floodlights, Imperial Leather and Sweat Dreams DJs!

9) Northeast Party House: Live
15th May
What: In celebration of Northeast Party House’s most acclaimed album to date Shelf Life, the band is heading out around the country taking their famed live show on the road. Having built a fierce reputation in the live arena for the best part of a decade, these shows are set to once again elevate the band into the minds of the Australian music psyche. The album, spearheaded by the singles ‘Magnify’, ‘Dominos’ and the future club classic ‘Shelf Life’, are just a taster of what you’ll experience in the live show and the critics are already raving about the new album.
Why: An indie band brazenly accepting their utter lack of originality. That in itself is original.

3) Bang Return Night
14th May
What: After year in the cooler, Bang is finally back with the full force of the entire RMH opening to give you the return you all deserve. They’re going big, really big, and they’re not stopping until the sun comes up. Coming out of hiatus for one-night-only are the Sunshine State’s biggest spectacle – BRIS 182. For those who don’t know, BRIS 182 are usually found playing to thousands of people at festivals across the country. A powerhouse 10-piece tribute act to BLINK-182, it’s a must-see live performance. See it, believe it, get ready to lose your mind to it.
Why: Because what BLINK-182’s sound needed was more instruments competing chaotically with one another.
