Melbourne-based, Grammy nominated act, Hiatus Kaiyote today announce Hiatus Kaiyote Presents A Very Hiatus Halloween, a mini-festival taking over Melbourne’s The Forum on Sunday, October 31.
From the haunted grounds of The Forum, A Very Hiatus Halloween is headlined by Hiatus Kaiyote and hosted by the Duke of Dread, aka PBSFM’s DJ Richie 1250. Joining the band on stage is the mind-melting mix of dark synth magic from The Night Terrors, alongside Melbourne’s favourite improvisational ensemble, Uncomfortable Science: In Hell. Slicing reality into ribbons, Alon Ilsar’s NightmAir will also invite punters into his dark realms of immersive technology and rhythm.
Additional performances include a special Spooky Drag Show, curated with some of Melbourne’s best Hallow-queens, as well as a dismembered ensemble of Sideshow Maniacs who will have heads spinning across the night. The audience is encouraged to join in the spooky action, with an open invitation to submit their best work to the Creepy Short Films that will be playing in the theatre of terror. If filmmaking isn’t your forte, embrace your Halloween spirit via costume, where prizes will be awarded to best dressed.

Today’s announcement follows the band’s recently released album, Mood Valiant. Debuting at #4 on the ARIA Albums Charts, and receiving praise from Pitchfork, Dazed, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, NPR and more, the album is a follow up to their critically acclaimed 2015 album Choose Your Weapon. Mood Valiant came together after six years during which the band spent time touring, writing and recording, culminating in a 2019 trip to Rio de Janeiro that led them to work with legendary Brazilian arranger Arthur Verocai. The band recently performed an NPR Tiny Desk Home Concert to rapturous acclaim, seeing it receive more than 300k+ views in less than two weeks.
Coming up, Hiatus Kaiyote take the album on the road for their Mood Valiant Australian Tour from September, visiting Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney, Canberra, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane. The band are also scheduled to play the rescheduled Bluesfest in Byron Bay come October. Visit Hiatus Kaiyote’s Official Store for more information.
Tickets to A Very Hiatus Halloween go on sale Wednesday, 25th August.
Don’t delay in snapping up yours, as the band presents their very first mini-festival of special and spooky delights.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
