What is everyone’s thoughts?

I kinda feel like it’s a little meh 🫤

Seen most of the bands but wouldn’t mind seeing the following:

Sum 41
Electric Callboy (missed out on their set two years ago as I was busy meeting Sabaton and then missed all their side shows)
Living End
Dragon
Killing Heidi

Maybe if a few of these do seperate gigs this year I will go to those but I am on the fence about whether to go to Good Things or not!

Looks like we will get the good old Iron Maiden back on our soil! 🤘🏼🖤🇦🇺

Anyone pumped to see them again? Or for the first time?

This lineup is lit!

We are home ... Wallapalooza returns to The Wallaby Hotel for another MASSIVE event on Saturday 4th November 2023!🔥

TICKETS ON SALE NOW 🎫 https://avc.live/kd25

This year, we're bringing a bunch of heavy hitters with us to celebrate the occasion...

We've claimed the carpark as Wallapalooza property for the day as well, spreading the bumper line-up over three stages to triple the fun 🤟

Aussie icons COG make their debut appearance headlining Wallapalooza 2023, bringing with them an emotionally charged live show that's the envy of performers on a global scale.

For the first time, Wallapalooza welcomes an international artist! Former Adelaide wrestler turned Asian icon Ladybeard is bringing his Kawaiicore brand of hardcore pop/metal to the stage from Japan in the guise of the newly formed Japanese darlings Babybeard for a performance that defies explanation.

Joining them are Melb rock warriors 28DAYS, making a triumphant return with Brissy rap rock dynamos Butterfingers and Bennies frontman Anty Horgan introducing his pet project Anty! to the family...

Throw in Azreal, These Four Walls, Rick Dangerous and the Silkie Bantams, The Black Swamp, Downgirl, Wicked Things, Rhino, PistonFist, Dreamkillers, Mountain Wizard Death Cult, New Clear Vision, Emu, Kaosphere, Beast Machine, Crave Death, Snake Mountain, Adriatic, The Crypt Daddies, Dirty Brew, Frozen Eddie, Trillions, Tokyo Beef, Kobrakai, Zero1zero, Serpentine Sky, Strange Motel, Call the Mourning and Serpentum and you have the perfect ingredients for a world-class festival.

So fire up the group chat and book your babysitters... Wallapalooza 2023 is HERE!

Our deepest condolences and sincerest thoughts are with the Polaris team and Ryan’s family and friends!

May he RIP 🖤🤘🏼

It is with shattered hearts & the deepest sorrow that we tell you our dear brother and bandmate Ryan Siew passed away on the morning of Monday June 19. He was 26 years old, and for 10 incredible years he was our best friend and artistic soulmate. Those years will never be enough. He was kindhearted and clever, he was funny and brave and creative, and he was talented beyond all measure. He loved art, and beauty in all its forms. He loved great food in great company. He loved Harry Potter and psych-thrillers and crime documentaries. He loved music, more diversely than you could ever imagine, and spoke its language in ways that only the rarest among us do. And most of all, he loved & adored his family & friends. He was also much admired and beloved by so many. Ryan, we will love and miss you for the rest of our days, and we will never fill the hole that you leave in all of our lives.

Our hearts are with his family first and foremost, but also with all those whose lives he touched. We ask that you please respect the wishes of Ryan’s family for privacy at this time, and likewise that you give us, our team and family the space to grieve & attempt to heal from this immeasurable loss. We know that you will be grieving with us and that we, and our community, will hold each other through this.

In loving memory of Ryan Siew
18.3.1997 - 19.6.2023
May you be at peace

Daniel, Jake, Jamie & Rick
