Grentperez's Homegrown Soul

Emerging from western Sydney, Grentperez – or Grant Perez – has taken the music scene by storm. With his unusually mature and soulful voice for someone just 22 years old, he's become a local sensation. Rise to fame with his gold single Cherry Wine and millions of streams, he's already snagged an APRA award for emerging songwriter of the year. Catch him live at Tumbalong Park on June 8 for an unforgettable free performance alongside other talents like Budjerah and the First Nations hip-hop group, 3%.

Yves Tumor's Avant-garde Act

Expect a theatrical extravaganza from Yves Tumor, known offstage as Sean Lee Bowie, who has drawn comparisons to iconic figures like Bowie, Prince, and Grace Jones. Don't miss Yves Tumor's striking performance at Carriageworks on June 10 to experience their headline-worthy attention to avant-garde artistry.

No Fixed Address: Legends Return

First Nations reggae-rock pioneers No Fixed Address, who led the wave of Aboriginal music onto international stages, are set to awe audiences once again at the Machine Hall Precinct on June 12. Their politically empowered music, backed by decades of accolades, will be complemented by supporting performances from Stray Blacks.

Blonde Redhead's Dreamy Soundscapes

The New York-based dream pop veterans Blonde Redhead bring three decades of mesmerizing melodies to the City Recital Hall on June 15. Revered for their insistent originality and having revived their sound with a recent album, they continue to enchant fans from across generations.
