Indie-pop powerhouse Gretta Ray will be joining Sam Fender for his show at HBF Stadium, Perth on Thursday 20 July. From a 2016 triple j Unearthed win to the prestigious Vanda and Young Global Songwriting Prize, Gretta Ray has had an impressive start. Her 2021 debut album Begin to Look Around was nominated for ARIA’s ‘Breakthrough Artist’ as well as ‘Australian Album of the Year’ at the J Awards of 2021. Gretta will release her sophomore record Positive Spin in August. Catch her this month when she supports Sam Fender in Perth!
Award-winning musician and producer of Wik and Solomon Islander heritage, rapper and change maker Ziggy Ramo will join Little Simz for her shows in Melbourne and Sydney. Ramo released his second album Sugar Coated Lies in January. The record follows his phenomenally important debut Black Thoughts and dives into the ways in which intergenerational trauma can manifest. An offering of vulnerability that can radiate through house party speakers, the album is an introspective reckoning with what it means to live with depth and nuance on stolen land. Witness it live when he supports Little Simz in July.
Loyle Carner will be joined by Dublin born rapper, songwriter and producer Kojaque whose sound draws influence from the likes of Tyler, The Creator, Frank Ocean and MF Doom. His debut album Town’s Dead charted No. 3 in Ireland and was No.1 alternative album. He has made festival appearances at Glastonbury, Pitchfork Paris and Primavera Sound among others. Known for his quick-witted lyricism and his distinctive Dublin accent, Kojaque is the poster boy for Irish hip-hop. See why he is building a global fanbase when he supports Loyle Carner later this month.
YNG Martyr will join iann dior at his headline dates, bringing his unique sound that fluctuates between high-energy trap music and stripped back R&B to stages in Melbourne and Sydney. Martyr’s 2018 debut release ‘PUTIN’ quickly gained online attention and has amassed over 3 million Spotify streams since it dropped. 2019 saw Martyr release ‘Nike Ticks’ which almost immediately went viral and was awarded the prestigious Song of the Year award by Acclaim. In 2021, Martyr gained a further 15 million plays across various tracks, while 2023 has seen three of his recent singles (‘Love Boy’, ‘POP!’ & ‘They Say’) all be added to triple j rotation. With his debut album LOVESICK due for release in August, now is the time to catch YNG Martyr.
British Caribbean artist Chanel Loren will join Sudan Archives at her show in Sydney. Since launching her project in March 2022, Chanel has amassed over 1 million streams across her releases, received play on UK’s BBC Radio 1 and triple j, plus been championed by CLASH, Vice, Frankie, Early Rising, Notion, Dork Mag and more. That’s while Agung Mango joins the party in Melbourne, with his gritty, brash and completely unbounded sound it tow. Mango’s singles ‘TOUGHSKIN’, ‘RODENT’ and a collaborative EP with local crew 3K have seen his mainstream stature rise, leading to appearances at Laneway, Spilt Milk and Golden Plains. All City Jimmy will open both shows.
London based, New Zealand raised Molly Payton will be supporting Del Water Gap in Melbourne and Sydney with her captivating and elevated live show. Praised for her evocative lyricism and evolved songwriting, Molly Payton released EP Compromise in October 2022. Payton has played support slots alongside the likes of Arlo Parks, Oscar Lang, Tom Odell and Wallice and has made festival appearances at Liverpool’s Sound City, The Great Escape, Boardmasters and more. Her music has earned wide critical acclaim from leading tastemakers such as Pigeons & Planes, i-D, Dork, DIY and beyond. Get ready as Molly Payton graces stages in Melbourne and Sydney with Del Water Gap in July!

.AMNPLIFY – DB
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.
