Williams draws on folk and country traditions - often compared to Leonard Cohen, Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley - but what makes him so special is his unique ability to traverse genres on both his award winning records, and in his famously captivating live shows. Marlon Williams grew up in the port town of Lyttelton, in the South Island of New Zealand. After performing with his high-school band The Unfaithful Ways and as a duo with Delaney Davidson, he launched his award-winning solo career with his 2015 debut Marlon Williams, and followed it with Make Way For Love in 2018, Live at Auckland Town Hall in 2019, and a 2020 collaboration with Canadian duo Kacy & Clayton called Plastic Bouquet. Along the way Williams has played many of world’s major festivals, toured and performed with Bruce Springsteen, Eagles, Florence + The Machine, Courtney Barnett, Brandi Carlile and Lorde, as well as appearing on TV shows CONAN, Later with Jools Holland and NPR’s Tiny Desk. Williams has also won four New Zealand Music Awards, the coveted APRA Silver Scroll Award, and was handpicked by director Bradley Cooper to appear in Academy Award-winning film A Star Is Born, in addition to roles in the Netflix series Sweet Tooth, The Beautiful Lie, True History of the Kelly Gang and upcoming film Lone Wolf.

HighSchool

10 Apr 2026 - 17 Apr 2026

Melbourne’s HighSchool appeared last summer with the self-released single ‘Frosting’, an indie-pop gem that promised great things. Fast forward a year and with more stellar tracks to their name, they’re finally releasing their debut EP, Forever at Last, on November 1st. Shortly after forming, HighSchool - the trio of Lilli Trobbiani, Luke Scott and Rory Trobbiani - found themselves in near-eternal lockdown with the COVID restrictions being placed on their hometown proving the longest anywhere in the world. Deprived of the chance to go out and play shows, they carried on undeterred, recording tracks with close friend Archie Shannon (Floodlights), dropping them every few months along with a stunning, self-directed music video for each. Signing to UK tastemaker label Dalliance Recordings (Gia Margaret, Francis of Delirium, Wilsen) and already championed by the likes of NME, The FADER, Clash, DIY, PAPER and So Young, HighSchool have come far in their first year. Keeping momentum up, a move to London is planned in the new year with the band making their live debut shortly after. Debut EP, Forever at Last, collects their six tracks to date and is a testament to the band’s ingenuity and resilience. It also shows a band keen to evolve their sound, effortlessly mining a multitude of influences - where first singles ‘Frosting’ and ‘New York, Paris and London’ delighted with their potent mix of sun-dappled indie pop and industrial post-punk, their next two ‘De Facto’ and ‘Sirens’ were pointed at the dancefloor with the band now infusing DFA / New Order / Future Islands sounds. Recent single ‘Jerry’, is darker than its predecessors which played on the band’s gothic image, being more than complemented by an incredible one-take music video that explored religiosity. As well as the EP, November 1st also heralds the release of title track ‘Forever at Last’, another great single where this time Lilli’s synth rises to the fore and Rory’s cod-English “hello” lyrical motif signals the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next. A track that explores transformation in both place and identity, its documentary-like video follows Lilli and Luke being dressed and made up by two goth friends before the quartet head into the night.

Their songs capture many of the difficult moments of the last few years of the band members’ personal lives and yet, as a whole their complexity emerges as a beautiful and hopeful message.

The Flints

7 Apr 2026 - 11 Apr 2026

Manchester-born twins George and Henry Flint formed The Flints as an escape from their behind- the-scenes careers producing and writing for artists like Jean Dawson, Deb Never, Melanie Martinez and Lil Yachty. Growing up between Manchester and Europe, the brothers developed their musical bond early— swapping songs on a family computer and jamming through bedroom walls—before honing their style in various bands. During lockdown, they returned home and began crafting songs just for themselves. What emerged was a signature sound—vivid, genre-blurring pop with soul, indie and electronic roots. Their debut single ‘Serengeti’ and EPs 100 Million Lightyears and Midnight Sunrise captured that alchemy. Now, with 21st Century Love, they evolve further. The EP blends woozy synths, raw live energy, and stripped-back moments showcasing their individual voices. Single ‘The End is the End’ is both a creative breakthrough and emotional reset, while collaborations with Justice (including ‘Mannequin Love’) push them into new sonic territory. What began as a reaction to creative restriction has become a project full of freedom, clarity, and a rare musical chemistry only twins could share. The Flints are your favourite band’s favourite band. In 2025, they may just become yours too.

Jordana

1 Jun 2026 - 5 Jun 2026

At 21, Jordana is already a wildly accomplished DIY producer — she co-produced her new album Face The Wall and played every single instrument on the record, a remarkable feat of auteurship. Dealing with faith, sexuality and self-discovery, it’s a heady document of self-determination. Face The Wall is a remarkably assured statement from a 21-year-old artist. There are plenty of similar artists in her lane, all with equally stylized aesthetics and approachable auras, but Jordana doesn’t need any of the relatability tactics that some of her fellow pop stars do. She knows she doesn’t have to grab you to get your attention, she doesn’t need to rehash a sound from 10 or 20 years ago, and her confessional songwriting doesn’t need to be overwhelmingly sad to be poignant. All she has to do is sing and play guitar, and the music is just irresistible. When Jordana first arrived, it was her bedroom pop chops that made her an artist of note. Crafting songs through GarageBand that showed the talent that stretched the four walls of her room, the potential was scary. On ‘Face The Wall’, that promise is fulfilled, and then some.

Superchunk & Oblivians

23 Jun 2026 - 29 Jun 2026

Superchunk + Oblivians (14+ under 16's with and adult) Superchunk After the shocking, and for many, demoralizing result of the 2016 election, “I didn’t buy the silver lining some were promoting that ‘well, at least art and music will be great now!’,” says Superchunk co-founder and frontman Mac McCaughan. “Obviously, any sane person would gladly trade four to eight years of terrible music for not having our country dismantled to satisfy the whims of a vengeful child and his enablers.” That said, good music and art still have a lot to say, and the urgency of current events gave Mac, Laura, Jim, and Jon the momentum to make something new sooner than later. “It would be strange to be in a band, at least our band, and make a record that completely ignored the surrounding circumstances that we live in and that our kids are going to grow up in.” Enter What a Time to Be Alive, Superchunk’s first album in over four years. It’s a record, says Mac, “about a pretty dire and depressing situation but hopefully not a record that is dire and depressing to listen to.” Indeed, like so much of Superchunk’s music in the band’s nearly three decades together, the songs on What a Time to Be Alive meet rage and anxiety head-on with the catharsis and exhilaration of loud punk fire and vulnerable pop energy. Like 2013’s I Hate Music, which focused on death, loss, and the role of music in an aging life, the new record brings spirit to the frontlines of pain—it’s as defiant as it is despairing, as much a call to arms as a throwing up of hands.

Reverend Baron

18 Nov 2026 - 20 Nov 2026

From the academy of deep soul and no ego, Reverend Baron delivers visions of liquor store East LA, the off-the-freeway dry mirage of slow motion graffiti and lonely seagulls. A nylon stringed zen fog with themes of woozy love, layered dimensions of nostalgia and glazed neighbourhood tales that roll in with a natural ease. After notching a permanent status in the skateboarding orbit as Danny Garcia, he transferred his effortless style, dedication and authenticity into music. Practicing a philosophy of demystifying the process and doing it yourself, he has become a proficient multi-instrumentalist, engineer, and producer of his own and other artist's music. All streams of curiosity converge into the river. An enigma, Reverend Baron emerges from the proverbial grey overpass with no sense of urgency. He takes a sharp gaze at his surroundings and processes them through a factory of depth and gentle swag to yield a sound that sits as easy as fallen molasses on the bodega shelf. The songs are an unassuming invitation to either walk through the doorway or lean on the wall outside, either way something beautiful and rare.
