The Lady Hampshire is back! The Camperdown venue has announced it's return with a stacked program across April and May and to celebrate, RADICALS have shared which five artists they think are a must see at The Lady Hampshire.
To kick things off, punk-rock quartet FANGZ will take to the stage this Friday evening, joined by special guests DEDPAN and Wicked Envy. The following night, indie-rockers Pacific Avenue will bring their tunes to The Lady Hampshire, with JUNO and Darcy Lane set to support and Mac The Knife's Bryn Chapman Parish hitting the decks for a DJ set.
Next Friday, it's RADICALS turn to take over the venue, with Dial Denial jumping on for support duties before Bugs jump on in the following night with some special guests. Over the following weeks, Highline, Turpentine Babychino, Starve, Outsider, Signvals, Keepsake, Abby Bella May, Close Counters, Bootleg Rascals, Lyall Moloney and These New South Whales will bring their live shows to The Lady Hampshire. The venues opening program will end with an epic finale from South Coast outfit, Good Lekker on May 20.
Check out the full program below!
Yes, we've seen all of these acts live multiple times.
Yes, you should too.
No excuses.
PACIFIC AVENUE
This band needs no introduction; honestly, we shouldn't even have to include them on this list. If you haven't heard of Pacific Avenue, what the fuck are you doing?!?!
These boys are well and truly keeping rock music alive and bringing back the nostalgia of the 60s and 70s while doing it.
Seeing Pacific Avenue live isn't something we can just sum up; you have to see it for yourself.
Their music keeps getting better, the band keeps getting tighter, and the live show keeps getting more and more impressive every time they perform.
If you missed out on tickets to see their Lady Hampshire show, we feel sorry for you.
FANGZ
Do you like drinking? Do you like partying? Do you like in-your-face rock? No? Tough shit.
FANGZ are the band we aspire to be, and once you see them live, you'll understand why. The sound these guys make with just a single guitar, bass, drum kit and vocals is insane to us mortals.
Their energy is unmatched, and their music is some of the best rock in the country.
Go see FANGZ if you know what's good for you.
HIGHLINE
Highline is Sydney's best-kept secret. Having sold out an Oxford Art Factory (in the big room) and supported some huge acts like Pacific Avenue and Old Mervs, they're right on the cusp of making it big.
Beautiful, sad, happy, and catchy are just a few of the words we use to describe Highline's music and the only thing more mesmerising than their song is seeing them played live.
Since we last saw Highline live, they've added a keyboard player to the mix, which will undoubtedly make their live show even more incredible.
Their music and live show will break even the toughest mofos.
We love Highline, and you will too.
DARCY LANE
Coming straight out of our hood is one of the Shires fastest growing and incredible live acts, Darcy Lane.
With a live set that rivals some of the country's biggest pop acts and a voice that holds up against heavyweights like Olivia Rodrigo and Lorde, it's mind-boggling that Darcy Lane isn't a bigger name in the Australian music scene.
In the times we've seen her live, Darcy and her band have never missed a beat. It's impossible not to dance and get in your feels when you see her live.
If you're feeling down, go to a Darcy Lane show. If you're feeling good, go to a Darcy Lane show. If you're feeling any kind of way, go to a Darcy Lane show.
