Enjoy a headline performance from Australian R&B and dance artist Becca Hatch. The proud Kamilaroi/Samoan artist rose to prominence after winning Triple J Unearthed High and has since become one of Australia’s most exciting contemporary voices. With a NIMA win for Best New Artist, an ARIA nomination, and standout live performances across the country, including Sydney Opera House NYE 2024, this is your chance to experience Becca Hatch’s soulful vocals and magnetic stage presence live.
Supported by 2025 WAM Vocalist of the Year Jarred Wall performing as Boox Kid trio, delivering their signature blend of dreamy electropop and cross-genre flair, backed by major festival appearances such as Nannup Festival, BIGSOUND and Perth Festival.
Local Fremantle band Lachy John and the Red Bellies will finish the performance with a powerful mix of Australian rock and blues that cuts straight to the soul. Lachy John’s indigenous heritage and personal journey influence his songwriting, providing a raw reflection of resilience, connection, and the human experience.
Audiences can look forward to a full evening of live music that celebrates both emerging and established Australian talent.
