Following the success of a monster 20th-anniversary tour, which included headline festival performances in Mexico and Indonesia, Melbourne Ska Orchestra return with their signature ‘International Ska’ sound and energy-packed live show. This unstoppable 21-piece behemoth is a turbo-charged freight train of pure dancefloor magic!
Supported by Chutney
Chutney is an Aussie klezmer band with a twist. Drawing on their Eastern European and Middle Eastern heritage, they play a spicy mix of original bangers and fresh takes on traditional dance tunes. Comprising clarinet, violin, keyboard, bass, percussion and drums - plus guest singers - the band gleefully hopscotch from folk to pop, jazz to tango, classical to funk, east to west. Bring your dancing shoes and expect to get sweaty!
Supported by Playlunch
Forged in a share house home-studio somewhere in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs over two years of lockdown, Playlunch is the brainchild and passion project of Liam Bell. Creating a cocktail of late 90s and early 2000s Aussie nostalgia, and taking inspiration from retro dance music icons, Playlunch is pioneering a new flavour of bangers altogether: ‘Bogan Funk’.
