Yours and Owls Festival, the gift that keeps on giving! Not one, but TWO surprise acts are landing, to expand your weekend musical immersion. Open your arms and welcome ARIA and AIR award-winning electronic duo Flight Facilities, and three-time platinum-selling electronic rock band Pendulum to the 2023 line up, both playing Sunday!
Over the years, Flight Facilities have continued to deliver their fans new live show formats and music experiences. From the studio to the DJ booth, to the biggest live stages, be it Ibiza all-night long DJ Sets to performing live with world-renowned orchestras; they continue to reimagine how they connect with people.
Their infectious feel-good tracks like ‘Crave You’, ‘Clair de Lune’ and ‘Heavy’ regularly infiltrate dance floors and festival crowds worldwide. Most recently, they have presented their famed Decades Mix series, which will be brought to life on stage at Yours and Owls! Digging deep from the 1970s to today, fans can anticipate anything in these extended sets – from disco bootlegs to electro edits, indie anthems, prized underground classics and more.
Pendulum are undoubtedly one of the biggest electronic bands of all time. They returned in 2021 from a hiatus to release their EP ‘Elemental’ and storm into 2023 with new single ‘Halo’ featuring Bullet For My Valentine front man Matt Tuck.
With three platinum albums to their name, including renowned debut ‘Hold Your Colour’ and a UK #1 and #2 for ‘Immersion’ and ‘In Silico’, the drum and bass/ rock band from Perth, Australia, have sold over a million albums in the UK alone.

West coast metal veterans METAL CHURCH will return to Australia this December to round out 2023 with the last Metal tour for the year. They also return with their 13th studio album, Congregation of Annihilation, on May 26,2023. The new album marks the first release since the tragic loss of legendary front man Mike Howe in 2021, but it also marks the first album with new vocalist Marc Lopes (Ross the Boss / Let Us Prey) who came on board in the summer of 2022 and features the current line-up of founding guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof, guitarist Rick Van Zandt, bassist Steve Unger and legendary W.A.S.P. (amongst others) drummer Stet Howland. The new songs are a return to the band’s musical roots harkening back to the vibes of the self-titled first album and The Dark.
Of the album Kurdt Vanderhoof comments “This new album is starting a new chapter in the METAL CHURCH legacy. I really love this album. It’s a fresh approach for us in one way, but also a return to the very beginnings of Metal Church as part of the New American Thrash Metal movement. This record contains some of the most aggressive songs we have recorded. I hope the fans will like it as much as we do.”
Marc Lopes comments, “I am beyond honoured to be part of carrying on this legacy into a new era of METAL CHURCH. Working with Kurdt and a band that was a huge influence of mine growing up was a surreal experience to say the least. For me there was no point in trying to imitate what was already done to perfection. So, with respect to the past, we moved forward to a new chapter and here we are!”
The band are well excited to play for you some new songs, as well as delving into a best of from their well-respected classic back catalogue.
