If you’re not too hung-over from Australia Day Eve celebrations and want to continue celebrating Australia Day 2012, here is a short rundown of what will be happening in your neck of the woods. We’ve taken the trouble of going through events and finding you the hottest parties to get blind to – and trust us, there’s a lot!
Aussie Hip Hop fans in Perth, this is your lucky day, with Hilltop Hoods announcing a 2nd show @ The Capitol February 9th, 2012 (In addition to February 10th, 2012). I love these guys, as “The Nosebleed Section” would have to be up there with my favourite Oz Hip Hop tracks ever!!!
I’m sure you’ve heard that Auckland’s BDO has been sentenced to RIP after this year. And I’m fairly certain New Zealanders would be pretty dev after finding out headliner, (and lets be honest here) source of 90% of the 2012 line-up appeal, Kanye West, decided to lash before the Kiwi party had even started. They are probably also disappointed
It’s a great time to be a Trance enthusiast in Perth right now, with Shape Bar playing host to German Trance sensation Kyau and Albert, alongside the UK trance allstar Greg Downey, in a night with a distinctly European flavour to it on Friday, January 27, 2020.
After a banging performance at Supafest, Game (who we all know as The Game) is making his way around Australia with shows in most major capital cities February 2012, performing the hits we all know and love, as well as new stuff from his latest album R.E.D.
Fans of Tech-Funk will know the name “Hedflux” all too well, after his breakthrough track “mind cell” absolutely dominated the Beatport charts in 2010, remaining at the apex for over 10 weeks. What you might not know is that the man himself is heading to Australia in February.
Rap and Hip Hop fans hold onto your do-rags, as it has just been announced that famed rapper and MC KRS-ONE is heading down-under for his inaugural Australian Tour. A man that has shaped Hip Hop music and culture more then anyone else, “The Teacha” will be setting the stage alight March to April this year.
Heatwave Festival is an all ages event that usually brings Hip-Hop to our shores; however in 2012 it will also offer an Indie Rock/Metal stage, an under 18’s stage and a DJ Dance/Rave nightclub. Headlining will be Kid Cudi and other acts will include Obie Trice, D12, Tech N9ne, Crazy Town, Chamillionaire,
One of the new kids on the block when it comes to the world of House and Electro, Dutch DJ (Fancy that, an Electronic Music DJ from the Netherlands… What a surprise!!!) Bart B More is the rising star of the scene and is hitting the long and winding road touring from January 23th to February 4th, 2012.
2011 had mixed outcomes for Australian music festivals with many favourites reporting their best attendance yet, while others cancelled or had poor turnouts. Soundwave, Spendour, Groovin’ The Moo, Laneway, Peats Ridge, Future Music, Tamworth Country Music Festival and Meredith Music all reported positive growth.
