HEADLINERS:
FRIDAY NIGHT
SPIDERBAIT
The narrative of the Spiderbait story is so fantastical it could only be based in truth: three friends from a small country Australian town taking on the Australian music scene on their own terms and emerging triumphant 25 years later, the friendships unscathed but their band one of the biggest and best on the national scene.
Their distinctive music and cheeky arrangements make Spiderbait difficult to pigeonhole; they’ve released seven acclaimed albums, all of which have racked up gold, platinum, or double-platinum status and have also racked up pretty much every accolade there is to achieve on the Australian scene, having taken home numerous ARIA Awards, chalked up a number one single (their 2004 cover of Leadbelly’s Black Betty) and even topped the prestigious triple j Hottest 100 (for Buy Me A Pony , 1996).
SATURDAY NIGHT
HOT DUB TIME MACHINE
Since first launching his time-travelling, ‘dance-through-the-decades’ audio-visual party concept in 2011, Sydney’s Tom Lowndes has grown Hot Dub Time Machine into an absolute monster.
He pinpoints the happiest moments of your partying days past and re-creates them to perfection for you all over again, intertwining them with the right here and the right now in the most exhilarating way possible.
Hot Dub Time Machine will bring the Best. Party. Ever to this year's Island Escape.
SATURDAY NIGHT
BIRDS OF TOKYO
Formed in the early 2000’s, Birds of Tokyo have grown from independent roots to become one of Australia’s most popular contemporary rock bands.
Most recently, dropping a rollicking new single called “Heartbreakers Bar” and headlining a tour of the same name, Birds of Tokyo will deliver an epic set of hits that no other band of their generation can match.
