In true Meatstock style, Toowoomba Showgrounds will be jam packed with some of the worlds most prestiged BBQ Pitmasters, mouth watering food trucks, expo stores and a wonderland of beer gardens. Roam around the new battlefield and get amongst the notorious butcher, BBQ, beard and moe wars for some highly entertaining spectacles. If this isn’t enough, Meatstock will be debuting the PBR Bullriding team at the event, so you can cheer on the rails and watch some extreme sport! It won’t just be your tastebuds singing, for the first time, Meatstock will bring you a 100% Australian country music lineup to set the mood.

Central Coast trio Little Quirks – sisters Abbey and Mia and their cousin Jaymi – are excited to unveil a run of summer tour dates, their first dedicated tour in more than 18 months. Kicking off just 4 days after drummer Mia finishes her final year school exams, “The Rain Is Coming Tour” will begin at the Heritage Hotel in Bulli on December 3, with shows right across NSW in December, January and February. They will also play Melbourne’s Workers Club on January 7 and Waywards in Sydney on January 28, the tour concluding with WA shows in March including Nannup Festival.
Abbey said today, “We are over the moon to be getting back on the road! After a year of ups and downs, a whole lot of waiting and eating way too many cookies we are so excited to be playing these shows.”
Little Quirks are passionate about performing live, something they have sorely missed in recent times. They have developed a reputation for their quality live shows, building up a strong following with consistent touring and shows over the last 7 years, playing music festivals and venues up and down the East Coast, sharing stages with artists such as The Teskey Brothers, The Preatures, Ruby Fields, Tim Rogers and Alex the Astronaut.
Little Quirks will release a fourth EP in 2022, their first for ABC Music, featuring last year’s folk/pop singles Florence’s Town and Someone To Hold. Their 2018 single Crumbled has been a runaway favourite on Spotify with over 3 million streams and they have amassed a loyal following for their powerful and distinctive DIY videos on YouTube, including an impressive version of ABBA’s “SOS”.
“These Quirks have the nous and charm of the greats. Deft songwriting and performers of depth and levity. Watch ‘em rise” – Tim Rogers

Australian singer/songwriter Darcy Kate this week joined us on Subculture to chat about her awesome new single “Run Away” which you would have heard on our show over recent weeks.
Take a listen to the interview here:
Two of Australia’s most respected singers, musicians and songwriters – Ian Moss and Troy Cassar-Daley – are taking their guitars and songs on the road across 17 dates on the National ‘Together Alone Tour’ through October, November and December 2021.
The ‘Together Alone Tour’ will be the first time these two powerhouse guitarists and vocalists have joined forces to tour together and shared a stage in such an intimate setting as they take the audience on a musical journey across their respective careers.
GP Tickets go on sale at 10.00am local times Wednesday, 23 June.
A pre-sale for members of Mossy’s and Troy’s fan clubs commences at 10.00am local times on Monday, 21 June and will run until 10.00am, Wednesday, 23 June. You can sign up for the Fan Club HERE
Mossy said “I have been a big fan of Troy’s for so long so when this opportunity came up to do a lap around Australia with him I was never going to say no. These shows have been about 2 years in the planning, the set list will have everything plus a few surprises and I can’t wait to finally take it on the road and out to our fans.”
Troy added: “From the first chord I heard Ian Moss play on guitar I was hooked, and then he sang! He has been a major source of inspiration for me for years and to play some shows with him across the country will be something very special. This will be a great fun musical adventure, I’m so proud to blend what we do on stage for people to see, guitar heaven! See you out there. I can’t wait to play.”
As part of the tour fans have the opportunity to purchase VIP tickets to each of the shows which will give them the rare opportunity to go behind the scenes and watch Ian and Troy’s soundcheck and run a few songs on stage.

One of the best things we have in life are friendships. True connections produce moments that inspire and shape us. Getting together to share stories and a laugh is one of the most special things we can all experience and when you’re Kasey Chambers, Tom Busby and Jeremy Marou, those get-togethers inevitably involve a beach campfire, some fishing, a few guitars and great songs.
Kasey Chambers and Busby Marou are ready to share all that with Australia by announcing they will be hitting the road together bringing their jam sessions to the stage. The Springtime tour will see Kasey, Tom and Jeremy performing 22 shows in metro cities and regional towns in all age venues right across the country.
Kasey Chambers: “I’ve been mates with the Busby Marou boys for a long time through music, stories and fishing and we are proud to announce that we are sharing this special tour together! First playing our own sets of our most popular songs from down through the years and also joining together for a unique set that showcases our musical connection and friendship like no other. It’s time to take this beach campfire jam to the stage!!”
Busby Marou: “We’ve made a very special connection with the Chambers family over the years and to be able to share the big stage with Kasey for a full national tour, is the best news we’ve had in a long time. Kasey is in a league with the most talented and hardest-working artists in this country. We can’t wait to bring our full band on this tour and to share the stage with Kasey for some exciting collaborations. Bring on the memories!”
20 years since Kasey’s ARIA #1 and 7 x platinum album Barricades and Brickwalls was released and featured the smash hit single ‘Not Pretty Enough’ which also hit #1 on the ARIA Singles chart at the same time, a first for any Australian artist. Kasey will no doubt feature many of the album’s songs in her set in celebration of the milestone.
Busby Marou have gained the reputation as one of Australia’s hardest working live bands best known for their distinctly Australian storytelling and gifted musicianship. The duo won their third APRA songwriting award earlier this year for ‘Over Drinking Over You’ from their ARIA Top 5 album The Great Divide, their 3rd Top 5 release. Jeremy, a proud Torres Strait Islander and Tom, a patriotic Queenslander have been ever-present on our screens spruiking all things great about their home state as part of Tourism and Events Queensland’s ‘Good To Go’ campaign.
It’s hard to think of two artists who have integrated themselves into the hearts and minds of the Australian music-loving public more than Kasey Chambers and Busby Marou. The tour will be a special series of shows that bring together great friends who just happen to write incredible songs and love to share a story.
Tickets for the Kasey Chambers & Busby Marou Tour will be available for fan pre-sale on Wednesday 2 June. Register here for more details. Tickets to the general public go on sale Friday 4 June.
