Listen Out, is notoriously known for its intense rave crowds and vibrant moshes- so when I found out I got a media pass for it- I was pumped to experience what it would be like.

As Sam from Ball Park Music said, there is no better way to spend your Tuesday night than to watch Lime at The Cain. I love Lime Cordiale, they always know how to put on a fantastic show.
When I got the message that I was approved for a media pass to see Inhaler at The Prince last What a once in a lifetime experience. I walked out of The Prince Bandroom ,completely elated. Their Melbourne Debut was not to be missed.
