Highasakite: This Norwegian five-piece band will be making their debut trip down under with a show at The Oxford Art Factory. The band has been getting some favourable attention and airtime on Triple J with their single Since Last Wednesday. They combine soaring vocals from lead singer Ingrid Helene Håvik (who has been likened to Bjork) with synth, guitar and drums to create a fun multi-layered folk sound.

Bertie Blackman: The Triple J fan favourite & ARIA Award-winner has announced a two-show tour kicking off in Sydney to coincide with the release of War Of One – the second single from the upcoming fifth studio album The Dash that is due for release in October. This tour showcases not only the trademark alt-pop sound that made Blackman famous, but also explores a new sound which puts a twist on the stereotypical music associated with pop anthems by putting them through a hazy ‘80s prism.
