Held in Hobart, Newcastle, Adelaide, the Gold Coast and Torquay, each show will be hosted by triple j presenters and feature a different lineup of Aussie talent.

The tour then moves to King Street in Newcastle/Awabakal on Friday 21 November with performances from Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers, The Grogans, South Summit and HORSE, with Concetta and Luka hosting.
Next up is Adelaide/Kaurna, with SA’s very own Tkay Maidza headlining with support from BARKAA, Nerve and Zion Garcia. Held at The Gov on Saturday 22 November, the concert is hosted by A.Girl and Dave Woodhead.
Miami Marketta on the Gold Coast/Kombumerri plays host to presenters Abby and Tyrone with a bill consisting of local fav Mallrat alongside Darcie Haven, Jem Cassar-Daley and Lottie McLeod on Thursday 27 November.
