THE AUGUST LINEUP...
​​
We’re very excited to announce that Great Gable will be headlining the August show, supported by Fool Nelson, Ghost Care, 40th Parallel and West Cape Records DJs​.
Great Gable's success has been driven by a steady stream of fresh material and relentless touring. With a devoted fanbase and a reputation for captivating, powerful live performances, the band has spent the past year touring extensively across the UK, Europe, and New Zealand, and making appearances at numerous Australian festivals.
In October 2024, their third album, Small Fry, marked a significant milestone, debuting at #6 on the ARIA Charts and #9 on the Vinyl Charts. The album received widespread acclaim from both fans and critics alike, setting the stage for an ambitious 2025 album release tour across Australia, the UK, Europe, and Canada.
With over 70 million streams to date, Great Gable continues to build international momentum and solidify their reputation as a standout Australian band.​
​​
Fool Nelson are a high-energy indie rock trio from Boorloo/Perth made up of two brothers and their best mate.
Known for their big choruses and grunge-influenced sound, they’ve sold out venues across the country and earned a place on triple j’s ‘One’s To Watch’ list in 2025. Their single Don’t Feel Right hit #1 Most Played on triple j, landed in Australia’s Top 100 Shazam Charts, and featured across major Spotify and Apple Music playlists. They've supported Skegss, Old Mervs, Ball Park Music, and more, with standout sets at Groovin the Moo, BIGSOUND, and NYE on the Hill. Having played music together since they were kids, the boys have polished their own unique brand of grungey and emotive music that focuses on big choruses and heavy-hitting instrumentation. Taking influence from the 90’s and early 2000’s rock they grew up listening to, there is an air of nostalgia to Fool Nelson’s music that is familiar but fresh.
Western Australian power trio Ghost Care are ready to kickstart 2025 with a new member and new music. Bandmates Beau Torrance and Luke Del Fante welcome new band member Emma Joan to the Ghost Care family, joining the band’s unwavering knack for producing delightfully upbeat tracks, which are all at once charming, colourful, and heartfelt.
After sharing their debut single in 2019, Ghost Care have consistently gone from strength to strength carving out a devout local following, selling out headline shows in their hometown of Perth. 2022 saw Ghost Care travel interstate for the first time as a band, performing at renowned music industry showcase BIGSOUND and venturing on a national tour. Since then the trio have been touring all across the country, securing a mass of impressive support slots – including for the likes of Spacey Jane, Teenage Dads, San Cisco, Sly Withers, The Vanns and South Summit. Ghost Care are no strangers to the stage and will be heading back out on the road through 2025 with a new EP in tow, where they will bring their high energy show to fans all across Australia.
Experimental-rock collective 40th Parallel formed in Albany, Western Australia, over a shared passion for contemporary jazz, shoegaze, and electronica. Blending honest, vulnerable lyricism with eccentric saxophone and post-rock inspired guitar work, their performances have drawn comparisons to cult favourites like King Krule, Radiohead, Crumb and Stereolab. Since crossing the Nullarbor in 2025, they have spent the first half of the year finding their feet in Melbourne's vibrant scene while working on their debut album. ​
We are super stoked to be bringing 40th Parallel home to Albany to join the August Live @ the Town Hall lineup!
For possibly the greatest comeback of all time, West Cape Records finally returns to the far south-west - for this occasion, in the form of a back to back DJ set. The dynamic duo can guarantee nostalgia-infused jazz-house classics with a few home-made originals scattered throughout. Audience members who were lucky enough to experience this rare phenomenon in the past have described it as "life-changing" and "unbelievable."
One punter even exclaimed "I will never hear St Germain in the same way again."
Join Jeremy and Josh on the dancefloor as they warm up the stage for a number of WA's greatest live bands.
