One night. Three explosive acts. Endless groove.
Get ready for a night of unstoppable rhythm and electric energy as Headphones Jones bring their signature party vibes to The Tote for a mini-festival like no other. Known for their wild, high-octane shows, the 9-piece band takes you on a groove-laden journey through Funk, Nigerian Afrobeat, and Afro-Latin styles. Big horns, bold outfits, and beats that won't quit - this is your invitation to dress loud and dance hard.
Joining the party are fellow dance-floor heroes Gusto Gusto, two-time Australian Folk Music Awards finalists (2023 & 2024), fresh from their stage-slaying sets at Glastonbury and supporting Snarky Puppy (US). Expect tight grooves, joyful chaos, and brass-fuelled brilliance from one of Melbourne’s most beloved party bands.
Opening the night is the magnetic Charlie Needs Braces, a boundary-pushing alternative pop duo led by proud GuriNgai artist Charlie. Combining live looping, Indigenous language, and vibrant storytelling with brass, percussion, and lush harmonies, their set promises to be as moving as it is unforgettable.
Don’t miss this celebration of rhythm, culture, and pure musical joy.
