In Perth, progressive creationists Kripke’s Illusion will bring their keyboard flavoured prog meets hard rock to the fore. Van Halen takes on Rush!
Adelaide’s Colibrium will deliver their unique blend of melodic rock that swings from Zeppelin to Tool and beyond.
One of Melbourne’s fastest rising heavy acts, Branch Arterial have overcome obstacles that would derail most bands to deliver their epic new album Beyond The Border which has set the progressive bar incredibly high!
Self described ‘aggressive lounge’ act, Tundrel are one of Canberra’s finest! Delivering loud, fuzzy goodness from deep within the vaults of the 90’s
Stone Empire are Newcastle’s alt-hard rock lynchpins With a number one song on the Unearthed Rock Chart proving the riff is still king!
One of Sydney’s best loved progressive/alternate acts, Mercury Sky will light up The Factory Theatre! Wild, unpredictable, and thoroughly entertaining!
Finally in Brisbane, He Danced Ivy will bring the whole thing home with their punk influenced prog that is guaranteed to shake even the most stable room!

Hailing from Brisbane, Caligula’s Horse is a progressive alternative rock powerhouse. Their unique tapestry of progressive metal laced with raw rock power is at once fluid, monumental, and striking, offering a wide audience a broad palate of unforgettable moments and timeless music. 

 

Their fourth record, In Contact, is an immense conceptual work discussing the nature of art and creativity, a celebration of what connects us as human beings – the shared space across our many differences. Told over four separate chapters, it is an album full of deeply personal stories, characters with their own bittersweet hope and tragedy. This album is yet another leap forward for Caligula’s Horse – steeped in their now-signature ambitious and colourful sound but with a new-found ferocity, In Contact will leave audiences breathless. 

 

In Contact stretched all of the band’s abilities, from the frantic speed and complexity of ‘Will’s Song (Let the Colours Run)’ to the immense scope and variety of the 16-minute album closer, ‘Graves’.
This is Caligula’s Horse at their most ambitious and progressive.
