Music Events in Cygnet

It’s a retrospective of singles time! Tests revealed sugar is sweet… so Regurgitator are extending this tour deep into 2026, heading to Altar Bar 13 Feb 2026! Jabbin' society in the eye with a groove full of politics for over 30 years, the band return with a fistful of fizzers and a heart full of nostalgia. Expect bangers from their self-produced tenth studio album Invader, alongside a deep dive into those much-loved plateaus of the nostalgia machine. Blister packin’ energy, hits embedded like muscle memory, and enough aural sugar to keep the bots buzzing.  Joining them are Dem Mob—the most remote hip hop group in the world, born deep in the red dirt of the APY Lands. Rapping in Pitjantjatjara and fusing hip hop with cultural identity, education reform and political resistance, they’re more than a music act—they’re a movement. Opening things up is The Subculture Clique—a rock+roll duo hailing from Kettering, Tasmania—who seemingly came out of nowhere in 2024!    Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/regurgitators] | instagram [https://www.instagram.com/regurgitators/] ---------------------------------------- ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We acknowledge and respect the Palawa people as the traditional and ongoing owners of the skies, land, and water of Lutruwita.

Featuring the hit singles ‘People’ and ‘It Only Hurts When I’m Laughing’, Space Race posited Mi-Sex light years ahead of its time. Promising a catastrophic, electromagnetic collision of post-punk, the avant-garde, and new wave, get set for a sonic spectacular that’s as passionate as it is powerful. In 1979, ABC’s Double J embraced the emergence of new wave and Mi-Sex became regular guests on Countdown, which saw the group shoot to #1 with ‘Computer Games’. Rounding-out the decade with its landmark performance at the Sydney Opera House, which became known as the ‘Concert of the Decade’ – Mi-Sex are revered by their peers as the band of its era. Early the following year, Mi-Sex Graffiti Crimes scooped the 1979 TV WEEK / COUNTDOWN MUSIC AWARDS with 4 gongs, including: Best New Single (Computer Games), Most Popular Single/Album (Computer Games/Graffiti Crimes), Best New Talent (Mi-Sex), and Best Production (Peter Dawkins/Graffiti Crimes).  Mi-Sex plays all the hits from Graffiti Crimes (1979) – ‘Computer Games’, ‘But You Don’t Care’, ‘Not Such A Bad Boy’, and ‘Stills’ – all your favourites from Space Race (1980) - ‘People’, ‘It Only Hurts When I’m Laughing’ and infamous title track – and many, many more, including ‘Falling In And Out’, ‘Blue Day’, and ‘Castaway’, alongside a few newbies just for fun… Let’s party like it’s 1980! Support commences 2:45pm.

Critically acclaimed British collective Black Country, New Road are thrilled to announce their forthcoming Australia + New Zealand tour, set to take place this summer.  The band’s most recent studio album, Forever Howlong, has attracted widespread praise for its recent harmonious reinvention and recorder solos. Released earlier this year via Ninja Tune, Forever Howlong marks a bold transformation for the group.  Songwriting and vocal duties now shared amongst band members, give rise to a richly collaborative sound and warm communal spirit.  ‘Triumph in the face of adversity’ goes some way to explaining the resulting joy.   Described by The Guardian as “a gentler, more bucolic direction” Forever Howlong has made notable chart inroads for the band, revealing new audiences and a revived sense of self.  There are few contemporary bands who can do musical reinvention quite as consistently as Black Country, New Road. Arriving in Hobart following their UK, IE, & EU tour, come experience their musical transformation at the Odeon.  Doors open 6:30pm Show starts 7pm All show times subject to change ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We acknowledge and respect the Palawa people as the traditional and ongoing owners of the skies, land, and water of Lutruwita.

DYING FETUS with guests 200 STAB WOUNDS Australian & New Zealand Tour December 5th – 14th, 2025 Armed with undeniably some of the heaviest riffs known to mankind, DYING FETUS has established a reputation for uncompromising integrity with a slew of classic albums and today rides a resurgence of respect and esteem with a new generation. The band continually refines its unique take on death, grind, and hardcore with a combination of virtuosity and ferocity, inescapably catchy hooks, punishing breakdowns and a complete lack of pretension. After 12 horribly long years since their last tour in Australia and in only their second appearance in New Zealand since 2009, DYING FETUS are well overdue to lash us unmercifully with their savage beatdowns and earth-moving grooves and grunt, equally designed to pulverize and mesmerize. On their first slog into the antipodes, Cleveland death metal legends-in-waiting 200 Stab Wounds serve up a brutal slab of old school death metal with a contemporary edge. Not for the faint-hearted, 200 Stab Wounds craft classic gore-themed savagery for themselves and like-minded brethren: thrill-seekers, carnage cravers, horror fans, and aficionados of the most extreme of metal. ---------------------------------------- ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We acknowledge and respect the Palawa people as the traditional and ongoing owners of the skies, land, and water of Lutruwita.

It is said that the Hard-Ons have crossed the Rubicon. Having formed back in 1982 and having a legendary and impressive back catalogue of releases, the Hard-Ons have also been a fantastically explosive live band. The Hard-Ons are ever-changing and evolving, having three albums under the belt with long-time friend Tim Rogers, the driving force behind the chart-busting, platinum-selling and award winning power-pop act YOU AM I, to a new edition featuring hardcore punk royalty, Jerry A of Poison Idea fame at the helm, or of course the classic, explosive three-piece, supercharged punk – metal – power-pop hybrid. Whichever form they take, the Hard-Ons are more infectious than ever. They have a vast array of great tunes from the history of their band to call upon. They move forward. They will play in your town. Following up to their recent 2024 album I Like You A Lot Getting Older, and 40th anniversary tours of Australia, Japan and Europe, the Hard-Ons show no ends to their activity and creativity of blistering pop and punk nuggets as only this genre- busting band can produce. The Hard-Ons: go and catch them live. Buy their album I Like You A Lot Getting Older. This is a heritage band that is actually about to hit their peak. And beyond.  ---------------------------------------- ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We acknowledge and respect the Palawa people as the traditional and ongoing owners of the skies, land, and water of Lutruwita.
