It will be Pandemonium this April! Recently pandemonium, it seems, has ensued.

Pandemonium Rocks Australia this April for the first time! We have been hard at work ensuring we deliver events that provide fans with the best possible experience and we extend our thanks to those who have patiently waited for our good news.

Four festival dates with a couple of location tweaks and a formatting alteration, and one killer Newcastle side show will proceed later this month!

We acknowledge the current state of the Australian economy and the cost of living crisis, of which we’re constantly reminded of by the media. This cost of living crisis has impacted the live music touring industry significantly and forced many other festivals and tours sadly, to cancel. Pandemonium is not one of those and despite aforementioned national issues our festival is moving forward.

With slightly altered programming Pandemonium is still headline iconic act heavy!

Fans will rock out at our festival events to:

Alice Cooper
Blondie
Psychedelic Furs
Wheatus
Wolfmother
Palaye Royale
Cosmic Psychos

They’re all ready to rock and take the Pandemonium stage. That’s right, stage, not stages.
Pandemonium is now a one stage festival.

VENUE CHANGES IN QUEENSLAND

The Gold Coast show will be moving from Doug Jennings Park to Broadwater Parklands, ensuring ease of access and egress as well as accessible car parking.

Due to popular consumer demand, the Brisbane event will be moving from Sandstone Point Hotel to the more city centric Eatons Hill.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

ALICE COOPER

Alice Cooper has cast a long shadow over rock music with an unrivaled live show and timeless anthems like “School’s Out,” “No Mr. Nice Guy,” and “Poison.” Selling over 50 million albums worldwide, he earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame® in 2003, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® inducted him as part of its class of 2011. Boasting one of the most influential catalogs in history, Rolling Stone cited 1971’s platinum-certified Love It To Death among the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time,” while other platinum releases spanned the seminal Killer [1971], School’s Out [1972], the Billboard 200 #1 Billion Dollar Babies [1973], Welcome to My Nightmare [1975], and Trash [1989], to name a few.

He’s so embedded in generations of popular culture that he not only made a cult-classic appearance in Wayne’s World during 1992, but he also starred alongside John Legend and Sara Bareilles in NBC’s 2018 production of Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice’s Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert — and also memorably appeared on both The Muppets and That 70s Show! as well as in Dark Shadows, with pal Johnny Depp.

Beyond hundreds of syncs, everyone from Etta James, The Smashing Pumpkins, Megadeth, and The Flaming Lips has covered his tunes. The Beastie Boys, Disturbed, and countless others have
sampled him. His collaborators have notably included the late Vincent Price, Aerosmith, Guns N’ Roses, and Jon Bon Jovi, to name just a few. Plus, he co-founded Hollywood Vampires alongside Aerosmith’s Joe Perry and Johnny Depp.

After thousands upon thousands of gigs and easily a million miles traveled, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® Inductee is as loud as ever with his latest album Road released in 2023!

BLONDIE

Undeniably one of the most trailblazing and influential bands of our time, Blondie is pioneering frontwoman/songwriter Debbie Harry, guitarist/conceptual mastermind Chris Stein and powerhouse drummer Clem Burke, along with band mates bassist Glen Matlock, guitarist Tommy Kessler and keyboardist Matt Katz-Bohen.

Among their hits is the groundbreaking rock-disco hybrid “Heart of Glass” the equally influential hip-hop fantasia “Rapture” the stalker-love song “One Way Or Another” and the lilting calypso “The Tide Is High.” It’s a thrilling journey back to when Blondie pushed punk onto the dance floor and introduced a wider audience to hip-hop sounds, all the while building a catalogue of enduring hits along the way. For the last four decades, Blondie has become and still remains a true global icon; one whose influence both shaped and continues to inform the worlds of music, fashion and art. From an irreverent Lower East Side punk outfit to bona fide international ambassadors of New York cool, Blondie will forever be synonymous with that punk spirit that lives somewhere in all of us. Their chart-topping success, fearless spirit and rare longevity led to an induction into the Rock‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 and more than 40 million albums sold worldwide to date.

As we look back at the band’s storied career, it makes Blondie’s current vibrancy that much more stunning after 40 years of entertaining all of us.

WHEATUS

Teenage years may be fleeting, but it seems ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ is for life, as Wheatus’ debut single, released way back in 2000 continues to thrive nearly a quarter of a century on from its release. The “Teenage Dirtbag photos” TikTok trend has now been embraced by a million people, including celebrities such as Madonna, Lady Gaga, Mark Ruffalo, Lil Nas X, Jon Bon Jovi, Chevy Chase, and countless others, resulting in the hashtag #teenagedirtbag being viewed over 2 BILLION times!

The track was used in the 7th series trailer for hit Netflix series “Big Mouth” and a brand new remix of “Teenage Dirtbag” was used for the second series of the hugely popular Disney Freeform / Hulu series “Cruel Summer.” In 2023, it surprised everyone again by re-entering the UK Top 40 charts and the fresh frenzy around the now 24-year-old anthem has led the band to recently perform on some of the most prestigious stages of their career including the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball, where Brendan sang Teenage Dirtbag at Madison Square Garden alongside rising pop star Jax.

Following up on six studio albums, two live albums, and multiple singles, Wheatus finally completed their years-in-the-making re-release of their debut album (in a twenty-song expanded edition featuring “lost” songs from throughout the years) on December 1, 2023

THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS

If you were to dissect the today’s alternative rock music, you’ll find that much of it pays homage to The Psychedelic Furs. Led by vocalist and songwriter Richard Butler, and his bass-wielding brother Tim, the Furs scored major hits with “Love My Way,” “Pretty In Pink,” “Heaven,” “The Ghost In You,” and “Heartbreak Beat” in all releasing seven studio albums, spawning several compilations, a boxed set, and a live concert DVD. 

Born out of the post-punk UK rock scene, the Furs quickly developed as one of the premiere bands on US College and Modern Rock radio scoring a multitude of #1 singles. With the advent of MTV in the early 80’s the band took off into the stratosphere, and when John Hughes’ approached the band with his film built around the Furs’ song “Pretty In Pink”, the band’s legacy was cemented.

After a brief hiatus in the 90’s, and a side project called “Love Spit Love” that you might remember covered The Smiths ‘How Soon Is Now?’ which was the theme song for the TV series Charmed, the band regrouped at the dawn of the new millennium. In 2020, The Furs re-entered the music charts with their first new studio album since 1991 called “Made Of Rain”.

PALAYE ROYALE

Equal parts brit-pop, glam rock and art-punk, Palaye Royale has earned a legion of obsessive, cult-like fans with their fast-paced dirty rock n’ roll and unparalleled swagger, amassing over half a billion streams throughout their career. The trio brought the juxtaposition of the glitz and grime of their teenage years spent in Las Vegas before relocating to Los Angeles.

They worked their way up through the ruthless L.A. rock scene while briefly living out of their car, thanks to their reckless live performances, lyrical vulnerability, and knack for non-normative self-expression. The band’s fourth studio album, Fever Dream, was released in mid 2022 to global praise from media and fans alike.

WOLFMOTHER

Pledging allegiance to thick, throttling fuzz guitars, primal psychedelia, and thundering rhythms, 21st-century rock revivalists Wolfmother split the difference between the classic sludge of Black Sabbath and the retro-garage rock of the White Stripes.

Formed by lead guitarist & vocalist Andrew Stockdale in 2000, Wolfmother spent a few years treading the boards before storming out of Sydney in 2006 with a self-titled debut that generated monstrous international hits in the form of “Woman”; and “Joker And The Thief”. Wolfmother, the album, turned into a big hit itself, eventually being certified quintuple platinum in Australia. Other territories soon followed along with a host of film, television, and video game placements, not to mention constant touring with a focus on festivals.

One of Australia’s most electrifying live acts? You bet!

COSMIC PSYCHOS

One of Australia’s most notorious pub rock bands, Cosmic Psychos beer-fuelled, no frills punk rock hits hard and with no pretensions.

For 40 long years they’ve blazed a trail around the world, spreading the gospel of cans with their quintessential Australian punk rock. Statistically speaking, theirs is a union that has lasted three times longer than most marriages and, to date, the band have released 10 studio albums, worked with super producer Butch Vig, are best mates with Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam and regular tour buddies with L7.

GYROSCOPE

Perth’s Gyroscope have been a constant presence on the Australian music scene since forming in 1997! Their 3rd album, Breed Obsession debuted at #1 on the ARIA chart and was certified Gold!
