An expat’s guide to gigging this sunny season

Dreading another year of your insta feed being covered in cosy Christmas pics? Never fear expats, we're bringing you your fave homegrown artists to cure any homesickness this sunny season.

See available tickets

Being an expat in Aus is pretty awesome in the sunny seasons, although everyone’s still prone to the occasional wave of homesickness. Who isn’t? That’s where we come in. We all know music from artists back home is like a big hug from an old friend, so we’ve  put a list together of some of the biggest and brightest international acts heading our way over the next few months.

King Princess – Buy now – VIC

We bet all you lovely Americans are super proud of breakout star King Princess. Pegged as one of this year’s ones to watch, we can’t wait to dance along to those catchy anthems.

Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls – Buy now – QLD, VIC, ACT, NSW, WA & SA

What Brit doesn’t love a politically charged anthem from Frank Turner? Exactly. The legend will be tearing up venues this December.

Skillet – Buy now – NSW, QLD & VIC

Hard rock giants Skillet are heading back to Aus from the US for the first tine since 2011 so we are definitely ready for some homegrown nostalgia.

FIVE + S Club + Big Brovaz + G.R.L– Buy now – NSW, QLD & VIC

We defy any expats from the mother land who don’t admit to dancing along to an epic tune from this lot at their primary school disco. However many years later we’re still happily dancing.

Lepa Brena– Buy now – VIC & QLD

Lepa Brena is a total icon from the Yugoslavia reason and we totally get why. Expats grab the gang together and relive the 80s along with some new tunes from the lady herself.

Rodriguez – Buy now – WA, QLD, VIC, TAS & SA

We’re not sure who gets to claim this guy, South Africa or America. Either way he’s been on fire since the release of Searching for Sugarman and we can’t wait to be wowed.
