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.
