Across a vibrant ten year career spanning six studio albums, countless shows, and over 1 billion streams, Awsten Knight (vocals, guitar), Geoff Wigington (lead guitar), and Otto Wood (drums) have built one of modern rock’s most vibrant, shapeshifting catalogues. Whether headlining theatres or festivals, or supporting My Chemical Romance on a sold-out arena run, Waterparks connect with audiences wherever they go with their genre-blending, hook-fuelled tracks and undeniable charm.

Waterparks first touched down in Australia in 2018 supporting The Maine, before returning later that year for an appearance at Good Things festival. Following the release of their fifth record INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (Fueled by Ramen) in 2023, the band returned for their first headline tour downunder, selling out all dates and prompting a venue upgrade in Melbourne from 170 Russell to the Forum. 

With their new album JINX (BMG) in tow - including the delightfully chaotic ‘TELL ME WHY’ ft. Mark Hoppus, Danny Elfman & more - fans have been calling out for Waterparks’ return to Australian shores, and now time has arrived to witness their chaotic and colourful performance in their biggest Australian headline venues yet. 

Girli first toured Australia in 2024, playing intimate venues in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne in support of her second album Matriarchy, and has built a dedicated fanbase both in the digital space and while lighting up festival stages around the world. A true disruptor in the pop genre, Girli’s music is bold, addictive, and incredibly candid, with lyrics often centred on subjects like beauty standards, sexuality, mental health, and the sociopolitical climate. A Girli live show is a vital and life-affirming experience.

After a zero-budget music video filmed on a Ring doorbell camera shot her debut single ‘lego’ into unparalleled levels of virality last year, 16-year-old Maple’s Pet Dinosaur has had a meteoric rise. From her third ever show at SXSW Sydney to becoming the youngest artist ever to play Australia’s premier alternative festival Good Things - sharing stages with heavyweights like Tool and Weezer - Maple’s Pet Dinosaur has quickly built a reputation as a must-see live act.
