The Pierce Brothers
This high energy indie folk duo will have you dancing.
In 2019 they sold out Melbourne's Forum Theatre and toured the USA, Europe and Australia playing packed festivals and supporting Tash Sultana.
In 2020 lockdown, they retreated into the studio to create their most ambitious record yet: INTO THE GREAT UNKNOWN.
2021 - the critics loved it, and so do we! Rolling Stone even featured it as their Album of the Week! They're back to playing live gigs and touring Australia - including Hanging Rock!

Thndo
The widely loved Zimbabwean-born ‘First Lady of Soul and R&B’ has commanded massive crowds at festivals such as Bluesfest, WOMAdelaide, Groovin The Moo, BigSound, Jungle Love and Woodford Folk Festival. Her sold out shows at Chapel Off Chapel have stunned audiences to a point of standing ovation; rave reviews following in their wake. Every performance is a statement – a triumph of powerful lyricism, rich-ranged vocals and smooth backing instrumentation.
With the release of Life in Colour, her second EP marks both a new chapter of immersive song writing, with high-demand shows expected to follow. Life in Colour touches on Thndo's experiences of growing up black in Australia. Struggles with displacement, discrimination and a deeper understanding of black pride are interwoven with R&B, Hip Hop and Afrobeats elements to continue the narrative of her smash hit single Numb.

Sensory Safe Spaces
Dedicated spaces away from the busy event area to use your sensory calming tools.
This enables not only families but individuals the ability to remove themselves from the event without leaving.
It can be very difficult for people to be able to come out to public places, such as shopping centres or events, for fear of having a ‘meltdown’ due to too much sensory stimulation. People are often overwhelmed by the sensory experience.
We have created sensory spaces for individuals and their carers to reduce anxiety. Bring your sensory soothing items to the sensory soothing spaces where you will have access to bean bags and other useful materials to help reduce overstimulation.
