The anti-colonial Irish hip-hop group, Kneecap, came all the way from Belfast to absolutely smash up Melbourne’s stage at 177 Russel St. They are loudly anti-colonial and Pro Palestine; they aren’t here to fuck around. 

Tiktok sensation Artemas made his debut in Melbourne at Northcote theatre on Tuesday. His hit song “I like the way you kiss me” went viral this year and he has been on a roll ever since

The Rions’ Happiness in Places tour, celebrating their EP ‘Happiness In A Place It Shouldn’t Be’, made its way to The Pier Bandroom in Frankston on Saturday night. With support acts Pisco Sour and Holly Hebe, the night was filled with love, sweat, and an overwhelming sense of youthful joy.

Dropkick Murphys, probably your dad’s favourite band if you live in the inner city- is a Celtic Punk band that graced Melbourne last Sunday, coming all the way from Boston. Their sound is a beautiful concoction of traditional rock and Irish folk with a punk twist, which was a unique experience to see live.

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.

The line-up was so versatile, show casing both local and international music- mostly consisting of artists that lean into the rap and electronic genres. This is not normally my style, but after experiencing this live, safe to say I am addicted.
