Are you a clone? Mi-Sex returns to the road in 2026, this time to commemorate the 45 th anniversary of the band’s second, timeless classic LP Space Race. 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 7:30pm.

Approximate Running Times: Doors - 6:45pm Start - 7:30pm Finish - 9:30pm After lifting the roof with their sold-out inaugural collaboration in 2024, The Wolfe Brothers and the TSO are joining forces again. This showcase of Tassie's iconic musical talent blends the duo's magnetic stage presence with the orchestra's power and polish, featuring songs from their 12-year career alongside brand new releases. Just like last time, this collaboration promises high energy, unforgettable music, and a celebration of Australia's most awarded country rock duo with the full force of the TSO behind them. .

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.

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.

Multi-platinum UK rock royalty The Darkness are set to make their triumphant return to Australia in February 2026 with an epic run of summer shows in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Newcastle, Wollongong, Sydney, Adelaide, Hobart, Fremantle, Frankston, and Melbourne. Following their massive 2024 Permission To Land 20th anniversary tour, the band are bringing their signature high-voltage energy and outrageous fun back to stages, serving up fan favourites like I Believe In A Thing Called Love and Love Is Only A Feeling, alongside new tracks from their latest album Dreams On Toast, including I Hate Myself and The Longest Kiss. This tour marks the first chance for fans to hear the new songs live. Exploding onto the scene in 2003 with their now-classic debut Permission To Land, The Darkness quickly became one of the UK’s most beloved rock bands, racking up over 1.5 million album sales, a headline set at Reading & Leeds in 2004, and a string of major awards including BRITs, Kerrang!, and an Ivor Novell. The band’s cheeky, spandex-clad anthems changed the face of British rock and continue to capture hearts and a new generation of fans around the world. Their live shows are pure spectacle: soaring falsettos, outrageous outfits, endless guitar solos, and crowds belting out every word.  Don’t miss your chance to experience it all live in 2026—it’s bold, loud, and gloriously over-the-top fun!
