  G-String Nicotine

  G-String Nicotine is an all-female punk band known for their raw, high-energy sound and sharp, cutting lyrics. Bringing riot grrrl back with their chaotic performance and stage presence, they are a force not to be missed.

  Black Wattle Witches

  Black Wattle Witches is a witch-psych coven hailing from the groves of Naarm/Melbourne. Taking you back to 60s and 70s psychedelia infused with progressive rock, heavy garage riffs, and driving, funky grooves. Let them take you into an occult world of symbols and spiritual wisdom. Dance around the bonfire. Join the coven.

  Mystery Daughter

  Mystery Daughter is a New Wave duo that slipped through the keyhole of your dreams into reality. Equal parts light and dark, heavy in melody and heart. Their speciality is danceable melodramatic duets drenched in reverb, and bouncing lovesick ballads with lush string machines.

  The Clags

  The Clags are a Naarm/Melbourne post-punk band with Irish roots and local grit. Drawing from garage rock, new wave, and post-punk, they deliver loud, punchy sets with a sharp edge and a slightly unhinged energy. The band is building momentum across Naarm's inner north venues with tight grooves, raw delivery, and a playful irreverence that hits hard when it needs to.

  Slowshell

  Slowshell fuses alt rock, grunge, shoegaze, and hardcore, shifting between hazy melodies and crushing intensity, all with driving groove. Drawing elements from Deftones, Loathe, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Knocked Loose, they've spent the past year locking in their sound — heavy, hypnotic, and built to move. Now, Vaughn Keating (guitar), Malakai Tokovic (bass), Jono Southern (drums), and Mitch Sears (vocals) are ready to hit the stage.

Scenes collide as Collingwood settles into lowlight

BENDIGO MAIN STAGE: G-String Nicotine + Black Wattle Witches + Mystery Daughter
