No one likes to say goodbye, but at Summer Dance, it’s one of the things we do best. After an unforgettable season, the Summer Dance 2025 series is coming to a close with our biggest lineup yet.

Taking charge of closing duties, the dancefloor alchemist himself, Yung Singh, will be holding it down as he fuses together a rich tapestry of hip-hop, jungle, and club anthems—all while nodding to his Punjabi heritage. A student of the music that raised him, Singh is known for his boundary-pushing selections and high-energy performances. From his BBC Radio 1 residency to that now-iconic Vampire Weekend drop at Boiler Room Melbourne, he continues to rewrite the rulebook of club culture. Now, for the first time, he steps onto the Summer Dance stage, inviting us into his inner circle for one night only.

Next on our Summer Dance journey: MESSIE B2B C.FRIM—a collision of underground powerhouses. MESSIE has been going from strength to strength, remixing Fred again..’s Places to Be ft. Anderson .Paak and CHIKA, commanding international stages supporting the likes of Sammy Virji at London’s legendary Fabric, and tearing up festivals like Beyond The Valley and Wildlands. At her side, C.FRIM, a force to be reckoned with. A curator of controlled chaos, she moves seamlessly through rap, afrobeat, dancehall, and techno, shaking dancefloors across Australia. Together, they’ll be setting the heart of the dancefloor alight with a B2B set sure to get bodies moving on the asphalt.

Stepping onto the lineup, Kayan—the multi-hyphenate artist, singer, and DJ pushing the boundaries of Indian club culture. A Spotify Radar artist and Forbes 30 Under 30 talent, Kayan has carved out a space uniquely her own. Her 2023 Mumbai Boiler Room set was a masterclass in sound—hip-hop, rap, and pop reimagined for the dancefloor. Now, she makes her highly anticipated Australian debut at Summer Dance 2025.

Rounding out this red-hot lineup is Kafi. A key player in Eora’s ever-evolving club scene, Kafi has been shaping the sound of the underground through his work with the South Asian collective Kerfew. Expect an unpredictable, high-energy set that blends his bold, eclectic style with the infectious energy of an open-air dancefloor.

From start to finish, this season finale is set to be a high-voltage celebration of music, movement, and community—one last dance under the open sky before we bid Summer Dance farewell. Don’t miss it.

Viral sensation The Kiffness will soon make the leap from the internet to Australian stages for the first time. A summery solo project of South African musician and producer David Scott since 2013, The Kiffness initially gained notoriety in his country through satirical songs about politics, but did not rise to global internet fame until 2020 with his Coronavirus parody song and fun “collaborations” with various animals and people from all over the world wide web. It seems he had struck internet gold, with his marriage of cute critters, existing viral sensations, memes, and jazzy tunes now garnering him streams and followers in multi-millions across all platforms – his YouTube channel is fast approaching ¾ of a billion plays in itself. Scott however did not leave his politically active roots behind, with many of his releases having raised funds for various animal welfare causes, charities, and even humanitarian aid for Ukraine. It’s time for some silly, self-aware fun on the all ages ‘The Outbark’ tour as when it hits Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane this September! Assets attached.

Secret Sounds is excited to announce that British singer-songwriter Tom Grennan is returning to Australia in October this year in celebration of his forthcoming album Everywhere I Went Led Me To Where I Didn’t Want To Be, which is set for release Friday 15 August.

Don’t miss Australia’s favourite Brit when he hits our shores in October. Fans are encouraged to jump on tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Sign up via secretsounds.com to access the presale. Tickets to the general public will go on sale from 12pm local time Tuesday 11 March.

很多人与麻园诗人的初相识，可能是源于21年的那个5月，主唱苦果在乐队官方账号上发布的《泸沽湖》翻唱挑战视频，如同一颗掷入平静湖中的石子，瞬间就在网上激起了千层浪。

其独特的唱腔，宛如一把神奇的钥匙，打开了无数人内心深处的情感之门，引发了一波翻唱的热潮！

《泸沽湖》翻唱话题的播放量很快就超了千万，麻园诗人话题的播放量更是过亿。

而2023年，在《乐队的夏天3》上，《现在现在》、《黑白色》、《晚安》…一首首好听又直击人心的歌曲，更是让麻园诗人彻底的破圈绽放。

2024年，麻园诗人先后开展场馆级演唱会巡演，北京，苏州，广州，所到之处引起了乐迷的广泛关注，门票迅速抢购。

南半球的夜，霓虹与陌生的语言交织成网。

街角的流浪艺人，突然袭来带有几丝凉意的风，与站牌上那些陌生的地名…

异乡的孤独与迷茫，像是一场难醒的梦。

但总有一种声音，能刺破沉默的壳，唤醒沉睡的梦。

这个4月，在墨尔本和悉尼！

麻园诗人将带着粗粝与浪漫，在澳洲点燃一场音乐的狂欢，用独特的唱腔去释放你内心全部的压抑，共同奔向纯粹的爱与自由

ILL NINO ANNOUNCE FIRST AUSTRALIAN TOUR IN 8 YEARS WITH SPECIAL GUESTS ADEMA

After an 8-year hiatus from Australian stages, ILL NINO, the trailblazing Latin-influenced metal band that redefined heavy music, is set to return for a blistering  run of shows across Australia. This long-awaited tour will feature special guests ADEMA.

ILL NINO, known for their explosive live performances and genre-defining fusion of heavy metal and Latin influences, will bring their unique sound to Australian venues in September 2025. The band’s return is highly anticipated, as they prepare to deliver a high-octane setlist filled with fan-favourite hits and new tracks.

ILL NINO released their ground-breaking debut album Revolution Revolución in 2001. Whilst their  sophomore album Confession boasting the U.S. smash hit single ‘How Can I Live’, hit the Billboard Top 40 and has gone on to sell over 600,000 copies.

Joining ILL NINO on their Australian journey,  for the first time ever are U.S. Post-Grunge, Alternate Metal band Adema, who will bring their signature sound of hard-hitting electronic rock and nu-metal to the stage.

The two bands are set to deliver an evening of hyped-up intensity, bringing a mix of heavy riffs, Latin infused percussion, emotionally engaging lyrics, and powerful performances that will make this an unmissable experience.

Legacy metal band Chelsea Grin (US) and metalcore innovators Currents (US) have announced a stacked Australian co-headline tour this May with special guests Bloom & HEAVENSGATE.

Salt Lake City’s Chelsea Grin last visited Australia in 2023 in support of Thy Art Is Murder‘s Decade Of Hate Tour with Whitechapel, and their early days saw them debut at Soundwave Festival and on tours with The Amity Affliction and Boris The Blade. Chelsea Grin bring decades of experience to the metal scene and are pioneers of the sub-genre, Deathcore. Forming in 2007, the group has put out multiple full length albums, toured the world nonstop since their inception and have managed to stay relevant in the alternative community for close to two decades. Selling out venues around the world, their music speaks to their fans that have stayed loyal to them throughout the years.

Connecticut post-metalcore outfit Currents, returning to Australia after making an impression in 2023 on Polaris‘ Fatalism Tour with Kublai Khanand August Burns Red. Currents don’t pretend that life is a bed of well-manicured roses. Rather, it has been by way of exploring the forbidden realms of a tortured psyche and ferociously searching for meaning amidst uncertain chaos that the band has won the hearts of metal fans across the globe; a feat evidenced by 80+ million catalog streams and packed tours supporting the likes of Ice Nine Kills, Thy Art is Murder, As I Lay Dying, We Came As Romans, Fit For A King, and more.

Following the release of their eighth studio album, Coming Home on Jan 31st, Russian experimental electronic duo, IC3PEAK, announce Australian tour with headline shows in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this October presented by Destroy All Lines. The duo are known for their haunting visuals and dark, politically charged music that critiques authoritarianism, modern society, and personal struggle.

Formed in Moscow, Russia in 2013, the duo that is IC3PEAK has spent the last decade evolving through their own unique musical journey that draws from all across dance, pop, rap, folk, and rock spectrums. Vocalist Anastasia Kreslina and producer Nikolay Kostilev’s gothic style and ambiguous yet distinct aesthetic have been spearheaded by a multi-lingual lyrical fire that has seen them accused by the state of distributing “subversive materials”. The suppression of their live performances by Russian security forces has only served to sharpen the band’s political criticisms and widen their global notoriety, with over 658 million views on YouTube and 1.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

The band consider their latest 12-track album, Coming Home, to be perhaps their most radical yet – turning instead to focus on the inner turmoil that has long run concurrent to their political slogans and protest music. Feeling unsafe in Russia, and with a relentless global touring schedule, their sense of displacement was exacerbated by the horrors of the ongoing Ukrainian war, and ultimately led to the group relocating to Ana’s place of birth in Riga, Latvia. Turning inward to speak softly as opposed to outwardly screaming, ‘Coming Home’ unfolds as a narrative that explores themes of loss, love, identity and belonging in a way that stands polarised in comparison to their more aggressive past, but is in no way less daring and radical.

Having visited in 2019 to perform at Dark Mofo, October 2025 will see IC3PEAK return for their first full-scale Australian headline shows.

Since the release of Hollywood Undead’s RIAA platinum-certified 2008 debut album, ‘Swan Songs’, their distinctive and infectious music has incited a cult audience of millions of fans, resulting in sold out shows across the globe, in addition to receiving nods in the press from the likes of Consequence of Sound, Billboard, Alternative Press, Rolling Stone, and Revolver. The quintet has also garnered massive mainstream appeal, with their 2011 sophomore record, ’American Tragedy’, going gold and hitting #4 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Now, with over 3.1 billion cross-platform streams, 1 billion YouTube views and 4.1 million monthly Spotify listeners, they have firmly cemented their place as one of the most influential bands of the 21st century. Now signed to Sumerian Records, and with the release of their brand new single, ‘Hollywood Forever‘, Hollywood Undead are poised for their most exciting chapter yet.
