18th January
What: As affirmed by nearly 200 million total streams for the 2017 debut EP Wanderlust and praise from Billboard, Clash, and OnesToWatch, Hollow Coves carry light within an eloquent, engaging, and entrancing take on indie folk. Evoking comparisons to everyone from Simon & Garfunkel to Ben Howard, Angus and Julia Stone, and even Coldplay, their Wanderlust EP quietly emerged as a phenomenon. The Brisbane duo, Ryan Henderson and Matt Carins, will strengthen a powerful two-way dialogue with listeners worldwide on their upcoming, full-length debut, Moments.

6) Obituary ‘Cause Of Death’ Tour
18th January
What: Obituary remains one of the most influential and groundbreaking bands in the death metal genre, one which they helped to create. Combining hyper-speed guitar riffing, complex arrangements and guttural screams, the band created a bleak and violent soundscape for metal fans worldwide. In 1990 Obituary released the album ‘Cause Of Death’. One considered a classic in the history of the death metal genre, a masterpiece that has stood the test of time and, to this day, remains as a must have album for any death metal fan. Celebrating 30 years since its release, Obituary return to Australia to play the album in full, plus a choice selection of death metal cuts from their early years!
Why: Unfamiliar with their canon? Place an electric screwdriver deep in your ear canal and switch it on. Whatever follows will be far less sensorially invasive than listening to one of their songs.
5) Orville Peck 2020 Tour (Extra Show)
16th January
What: Having recently announced his debut tour of Australia and New Zealand, enigmatic country star Orville Peck has announced an upgrade for his Melbourne show due to overwhelming demand. Fans in Melbourne will now be able to catch Orville and his bandmates at the Corner Hotel. His debut album Pony features the official videos and singles “Dead of Night,” “Turn to Hate,” “Big Sky,” “Hope To Die” and “Buffalo Run”. “It’s a country record, built out of broken-glass heartbreak, tearful melodies, and sweeping, deserted drama, wandering from one blackened torch song to the next […] Peck sings about longing, meanness, and impossible loneliness in a harrowing baritone.” – The FADER.
Why: A blackened torch song. Just what Victoria needs right now.
4) The Angels and Boom Crash Opera (Live)
17th January
What: The Angels and Boom Crash Opera. Two legendary Australian bands. One stage. It’s called Sideshow, because while the bands are on 2020’s monstrous Red Hot Summer Tour they’re teaming up for a series of Friday night shows around the country. No rest for the wicked. The Angels and Boom Crash Opera have 27 Top 40 hits between them, including the Aussie classics ‘Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again’, ‘No Secrets’ and ‘Take A Long Line’; and ‘The Best Thing’, ‘Dancing In The Storm’ and ‘Great Wall’. This is one Sideshow you won’t want to miss.
Why: Prepare yourself emotionally for your father’s imminent deathbed with a band of old men singing “I love you, I need you”.

12th January
What: This January, Australia’s one-of-a-kind French music and culinary festival, So Frenchy So Chic returns to bring the newest and most-loved musical acts direct from France to Melbourne and Sydney. With exciting new foodie partners, a hand-selected choice of wines and experiences for the entire family, SFSC will once again be offering a sensory destination of a different kind to audiences seeking a Gallic hit of culture in the middle of the Australian summer. Meet the new Gallic disco queen Corine, uncover new music from French royalty Lou Doillon, celebrate Nouvelle Vague’s 15th anniversary, fall in love with the ever soulful Tété and dance along with Gotan Project’s Philippe Cohen Solal DJ set.
