About The Presets
One of Australia’s most decorated electronic acts, The Presets - Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes - have built a career defined by innovation, energy and global impact, earning seven ARIA Awards and a run of GOLD and PLATINUM-certified releases.
Formed in 2003, they quickly gained recognition for fusing dance music with the raw energy of rock’n’roll, with their breakthrough album Apocalypso (2008) achieving triple platinum sales in Australia and delivering four hit singles, including the enduring anthem ‘My People’ and also earning them five ARIA Awards, including Album of the Year.
Making a significant global impact, the duo are renowned for their explosive live shows, playing hundreds of performances across Australia and internationally, with standout appearances at major festivals including Glastonbury, Coachella, SXSW, Exit, Melt, and Splendour in the Grass. Beyond the band, both members have collaborated extensively - with Hamilton co-writing Flume’s global hit ‘Say It’ and working with Flight Facilities and Steve Angello, while Moyes has produced for DMA’S and remixed artists including The Drones and The Jezabels.
In 2018, they returned with their fourth album HI VIZ, which debuted at #1 on the iTunes album chart within hours of release. The record received two ARIA nominations and a shortlist for the Australian Music Prize, and spawned triple j Hottest 100 favourites ‘Do What You Want’ and ‘Martini’ - the latter earning a nomination for Best Song at the 2019 FBi SMAC Awards.
In 2019, they released the expansive RAKA EP, a collaboration with Golden Features, led by the euphoric single ‘Paradise’, which placed at #75 in the triple j Hottest 100.
Since that time the duo have created the soundtrack for Sydney’s New Years Eve fireworks including another #1 most played triple j song ‘You Belong’. They’ve played sporting stadiums, done a huge DJ tour for their 20th anniversary, and headlined more festivals, all of which has lead to them creating Foreverafter.

About Cut Copy
Melbourne locals Cut Copy burst onto the scene in 2001, with a fusion of club culture and an indie sensibility that was uniquely their own, lighting up the Australian music scene and planting seeds across the globe. Their debut LP Bright Like Neon Love saw them take their electrifying live shows across the globe. While their sophomore album In Ghost Colours delivered a number of hit songs (‘Lights & Music’, ‘Hearts On Fire’, and ‘Strangers In The Wind’) that became anthems in both club and indie worlds across the planet, debuting at #1 on the Aussie album charts and firmly establishing Cut Copy as one of the world’s premiere festival bands. Their follow-up record, Zonoscope, earned 2 ARIA Awards and a GRAMMY®️ Nomination, while inspiring loads of bands who sprung up in their wake.
After another decade of writing, releasing, and touring globally, Cut Copy were forced to break pattern in 2020. Their expansive, ambient-leaning album Freeze, Melt arrived into a world at a standstill and for the first time, the band didn’t take it on the road. Instead, frontman Dan Whitford turned inward. From his Melbourne studio, he began building an enormous bank of ideas - more than 300 demos - blending the atmospheric textures of Freeze, Melt with a renewed focus on rhythm and movement. What emerged was 2025’s album, Moments. Not a reaction, but a recalibration: A creative reset that prioritized instinct over expectation. Moments stands as a testament to their longevity and creativity; A band continuing to evolve on their own terms.
25 years into their career Cut Copy remain steadfastly themselves, crafting melodic, emotionally resonant electronic music untouched by passing trends. Moments speaks to presence, perseverance and gratitude - a celebration of time, connection and the simple act of being here. For this we should be grateful.

About Ladyhawke
From her early days playing in Wellington band Two Lane Blacktop and Sydney act Teenager (formed by Nick Littlemore), Pip Brown’s knack for writing a catchy pop hook has garnered her global recognition. Coupled with 80’s rock-chic ambiance, Pip quickly made a name for herself under the moniker Ladyhawke, releasing her debut self-titled album in 2008. Boasting electro-pop gems ‘My Delirium’, ‘Paris Is Burning’, ‘Dusk Till Dawn’ and more, the record made waves internationally and was followed by 2012’s Anxiety, which Rolling Stone described as “a buzzsaw-sharp pop-rock album, full of hard-charging hooks”.
Ladyhawke released her fourth studio album Time Flies [BMG] in 2021 and was described as ‘her best album yet’ by Music OMH. Time Flies came in the form of singles ‘Mixed Emotions’, penned with Jono Sloan and Nick Littlemore (both of PNAU, Empire of the Sun), lead album single ‘Guilty Love’ featuring BROODS, which has amassed 2m+ Spotify streams, and ‘My Love’, which was written in collaboration with Josh Fountain, one of Australia’s most in-demand music producers. Ladyhawke hit the Australian east coast on her Time Flies Tour in November 2022 and has been in the studio over the last year so expect new music in 2026!
