Highlights
BLOC PARTY
PAUL KELLY & THE MERRI SOUL SESSIONS
‘Put me on a pedestal and I’ll only disappoint you’ – rages the lyric from Pedestrian At Best, the unforgettable lead single from Courtney Barnett’s seismic debut album Sometimes I Sit and Think, Sometimes I Just Sit. The thing about that lyric though: it’s wrong. Courtney, you could never disappoint us. Winner of Triple J Australian Album of the Year!
Needing no introduction but commanding maximum respect – Bloc Party come to us this year in the wake of a new record, a brand new line up and a new lease on life. One of the defining bands of their generation, Bloc Party cannot be underestimated.
FOALS
Powerful, commanding, idiosyncratic, majestic: Foals. Charting a course through small stages to huge with spiky shards such as Balloons, Cassius, My Number and My Mountain Gate taken from their records Antidotes, Holy Fire and newest barn stormer What Went Down – Foals are primed for a huge impact.
Paul Kelly adds yet another chapter to his burgeoning autobiography of collaborative magic. Brought to life on stage by some of Australia’s finest vocal talent and master musicians who interpret Kelly’s unmistakable lovelorn explorations, The Merri Soul Sessions are a musical massage for the soul. Featuring Clairey Browne, Dan Sultan, Kira Puru, Vika and Linda Bull.
HILLTOP HOODS
What is there to say about the ARIA award winning trio Hilltop Hoods that you don’t already know? You know they’re the pinnacle of Australian hip-hop. You know their music is steeped in massive hooks, epic samples, razorsharp lyrics and heavy beats. You know all the words to Nosebleed Section, The Hard Road and Cosby Sweater. You know you’ll love them at Falls.
