Prepare to be united, elevated and motivated with his all-dancing, hands-in-the-air, infectious and mesmerizing mash of percussion & didgeridoo.

SUNSHINE BROTHERS
2026 marks the start of their 21st anniversary year with the same line up!!
They’ve been everywhere and seen and done ALOT of hilarious things together but like cheese or wine are definitely getting better with age.
They’ll be playing their signature WA premium blend of tropical/dub/reggae sounds with more heart and soul than ever as they start 2026 with dates in WA, Victoria and Tasmania.
The ‘house band’ and hosts for this New Years Day gig couldn’t be happier to be here for the 18^th time!

ODETTE MERCY & HER SOUL ATOMICS
Perth’s premium soul outfit led by the charming and magnetic soul diva Odette Mercy takes your dancing shoes on a ride through soul and funk.
A must see! The real deal.

As always – being January 1 it is 100% guaranteed to be the best show of the year so far and the perfect way to bypass the New Year’s Eve buffoons, bozos and queues or to simply relax away the effects of your very own buffoonery from the night before.
