The Prize + Buchty/nouze + Bren + Haranti

The Prize are an Australian rock'n'roll band formed in 2021, building a reputation on a blend of rock'n'roll, punk, and power-pop. They have quickly earned slots alongside acts like Pavement, Sunnyboys, The Stems, and Guitar Wolf, and in 2023 and 2024 completed two European and UK tours as support for King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and The Chats.

They released their debut album In The Red last September - in Australia via Anti Fade Records, in the USA via Goner Records, and in Europe via Drunken Sailor. If you enjoy Thin Lizzy, Cheap Trick, Pretenders, Blondie, Flamin' Groovies, Tom Petty, or The Nerves, The Prize are for you.

Three Czech bands also perform. Buchty/nouze play subversive indie, noise rock, and punk for the tender-hearted - nostalgic thoughts, searching for ways back, and the joy of pissing people off. Bren blend slowcore, shoegaze, and no wave with dark Czech lyrics; they released their debut in 2024 on Kabinet Records and draw inspiration from Slowdive, Swans, Nick Cave, and Priessnitz. Haranti are an alternative trash rap duo - bass, drums, cheeky beats, abstract planes, and stupid jokes.
