Melbourne (by way of Perth) rockers, Sisters Doll have over 600 shows under their belts. Playing with high profile acts including Stryper, The Angels, John Corabi and KISS legends Peter Criss, Ace Freely and Bruce Kulick, as well taking the stage at Glam Fest multiple times.
Emerging in 2016 with their debut EP, Whiteford quickly earned a reputation as one Sydney’s most exciting up and coming rock acts. They deliver raw, passionate rock songs with a narrative of the ups and downs of love, celebration, loss and life, weaving elements of modern and classic rock with blues, layered with energy, emotion and delivered with soul.
Wicked Things are fast gaining a reputation for their wild shows of raw Rock N Roll energy, crafted with their incredible musicianship to rival their true musical hero’s of Guns ‘N’ Roses and Van Halen. No use doing it unless you do it right and leave it all on the stage!
Sydney special guests, Avalanche are a 4 piece hard rock band from Western Sydney playing short, fast & loud, no-bull Aussie rock ‘n roll for a new generation and are purveyors of blistering Aussie hard-rock in much the same vein as those who came before them. AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, and The Angels and attracting massive attention on a global scale.
Newcastle special guests and local Novacastians, KōDEM emerged as a formidable presence in the progressive rock scene. At the forefront of the bands sound is a distinct yet reflective set of influences from icons like Tool, The Tea Party, A Perfect Circle, and Alice in Chains.
Melbourne based XCalibre were formed by seasoned music veterans in 2020. Their members live experience includes a very impressive international touring history in stadium venues along side Van Halen, Aerosmith, Drowning Pool, Karnivool & Amity Affliction just to name a few and in 2023 as XCaibre, the band opened for The S mashing Pumpkins and Janes Addiction in Melbourne.
Born from the ashes of the grunge rock greats, Cicadastone naturally move within the 90’s rock confines yet still manage to bring a modern fresh edge, developing their own unique sound while staying truly authentic to the genre, a difficult task in a time when it’s all been done before.
Adelaide heavy hitters, Audio Reign boast a line up of seasoned performers who together offer a lethal combination of razor sharp musicianship and blisteringly catchy anthems. They are the epitome of classic heavy rock.
