LA trio Foster The People burst onto the indie scene with their massively popular and infectiously catchy single Pumped Up Kicks, which led them to take home a Billboard Music Award for Top Rock Song as well as Grammy, BRIT, NME and Teen Choice Award nominations. Since then they have been filling dance-floors worldwide with headline tours and slots at some of the biggest international festivals including Lollapalooza, Glastonbury and Coachella.

DRAM
Presented by Secret Sounds
With a name short for Does Real Ass Music, 29-year old singer, songwriter and producer DRAM will be making his Australian headline debut early next year. Coming in hot off the back of the release of his debut record Big Baby D.R.A.M. and his chart-topping massive single Broccoli (featuring Lil Yachty), which has amassed over a whopping 396 million streams on Spotify, the world initially took notice with his breakout hit Cha Cha, including Beyoncé herself. Lending his trappy-go-lucky vocals on collaborations with Chance the Rapper, Gorillaz, Erykah Badu, SZA and Calvin Harris, the US hit maker will be hitting the stage after an extensive US headline tour as well as performances at SXSW, Coachella and Austin City Limits.

Minor Birds – ‘The Alchemist’ (SoundCloud)
Wonderfully intense, haunting, and hypnotic in its intentional simplicity. Singer-songwriter/Pianist Chelsea Wilde’s (aka Minor Birds) moving new single features downwardly marching piano arpeggios streaked with creeping melancholic cello. Then, Wilde breaks the instrumental trance, as the first lines of her intimate, stark mezzo-soprano vocals enter the soundscape before slowly building into a wailing.
