7) Lift & Fall
29th May
What: The changing seasons, the rise of music in the Autumn sky, the fall of the leaves that settle amongst the dancing feet. Breathe in, breathe out. Laughs, whistles, chatter and yeehaw’s all lift in elation. In chilly draughts they fall back down to be spent, heartily, happily, by smiling faces and moving bodies. Experience an Autumnal dance in the flux of Melbourne seasons.
Why: It’s just a goddamn rave.

4) Desecrator’s Live Til Death 10th Anniversary Show
29th May
What: Tracked live in Melbourne’s iconic music venue “The Arthouse” and originally mixed by acclaimed thrash producer & engineer Harris Johns, Desecrator’s 2011 debut release “LIVE TIL DEATH” was a statement against the common over-produced sound of recorded heavy metal, favouring instead a return to the raw, loud and honest LIVE roots from which thrash was born. 10 years on, in 2021, Desecrator celebrate this milestone of their first release with a special show – playing the album in it’s ENTIRETY at the Bendigo Hotel!
Why: It’s fascinating that people are able to tell the difference between over-produced and under-produced maniacal screaming and growling.
3) Bugs: Diamond Tour
29th May
What: Bugs are no longer reserved to the confines of the Brisbane scene in which they made their start, with a whirlwind couple of years shepherding the band and their heartfelt, honest and relatable brand of pop rock to the national stage. Experience them live.
Why: Pop rock that’s honest and relatable? What’s next? Grunge that’s alienating?
