Prepare to be simultaneously charmed and berated by Tīrau’s resident self proclaimed artist, incompetent anarchist, and lover of grapes.

Born in Limburg; Germany, Johann packed his quill and moved to the small town of Tīrau, (NZ) to free himself of his parental constraints and find himself as an artist. Now he is ready to share his angst with the world.

With a diary full of inspiration (and sheep poo), Johann has arrived in Naarm to launch (or attempt to launch) his first poetry book.

Unfortunately, as he presents his painfully curated manifesto, he will be sidetracked by his hatred of society, his love for Elton John, and his ongoing frustration with capitalism. Will we ever hear the full book? Do we want to?

Join award winning actor and writer Em Barrett as she presents to you her ultimate artistic alter ego. Based in Naarm, Em is an experienced clown, character actor, and performer with a background in theatre and drag. In 2022 she won the Tour Ready Award for her solo comedy Community in NZ Fringe where Johann originally appeared. Since then Johann has broken out into the comedy scene to share his internal angst and terrible poetry with the world. He has appeared at venues such as The Butterfly Club and The Motley Bauhaus, shouting awful poetry and giving unsolicited life advice to comedy audiences as they laugh along, mildly terrified but nevertheless enabling his grandiose mediocrity.

A show for poetry lovers and haters alike.

It’s about nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. We promise.

An electro-punk concert, a play, a clown show, and a basement puppet nightmare all rolled into one from award-winning performance/comedy duo Creepy Boys (S.E. Grummett & Sam Kruger). Join us for a technocolour acid trip where you’ll meet puppet Joni Mitchell, a two-person horse and every body part we have, and try to have a good time while the world burns.

For tonight, at least, we are free.

Convergence. Definition: The blending of distinct elements to create a unique experience.

Convergence explores what happens when different creative energies come together.

Two artists, two sounds.

By coming together, each pair of artists signifies a unique collaboration that unfolds in real time: responding, adapting, and creating something which neither artist could create alone.

Across bush techno, acid techno, psytrance and hard trance every pairing brings its own influences, chemistry, instincts and sound, creating a series of one-night-only performances.

Beyond the music, Convergence reflects what Coherence is all about: connection.

Between artists and between people.

As part of that commitment, a portion of proceeds from Convergence will be donated to the Black Dog Institute, supporting research, education and services that improve the lives of people affected by mental illness.

We believe music has always been about bringing people together. Through Convergence, we’re celebrating collaboration and connection on the dance floor while contributing to a cause that helps strengthen our community beyond it.

Distinct elements coming together to create a unique experience.

Convergence.

⚭

This is a special night of B2Bs which will be held in an intentionally intimate setting. Tickets are strictly limited.

Our last event sold out well in advance, so don’t miss out on this experiencing this unique night.

See you on the dancefloor.

A TECHNO PARTY
No Rules. Just Sexy Beats.
A world where music, desire and freedom collide.
A premium underground techno experience celebrating individuality, self-expression and connection through music.
DEEP DARK AND SEXY TECHNO
Whether you’re dressed in Leather. Black, Jewels—or simply expressing your authentic self—you’ll find your place here.

Track Walk returns to Revolver for its third instalment, presented by Melbourne hip-hop institutions Burn Clothing, Union Heights and Kickin’ It with Katija on Kiss FM.

Australian graffiti and hip-hop pioneer Reason performs alongside Eloquor and DJ Kilo, with further live sets from respected figures across both cultures: Vanguard, Method SDM, Dolphin Jones with DJ Kojido, and Poets One.

Starting at 7:00 pm, DJ Boomerang will set the tone with a selection of hip-hop classics throughout the night.

Doors will open at 7pm.

Paris’s Alex Wann has become one of the most talked-about names in House music. He broke through in 2023 with his rework of Kelis’ “Milkshake,” a global moment backed by Keinemusik, Adriatique, John Summit, BLOND:ISH and Pete Tong, who named it Essential New Tune on BBC Radio 1.

Since then he’s released through Defected and Positiva, delivered official remixes for Swedish House Mafia, BLOND:ISH and Adriatique, and gone B2B with Pete Tong at IMS Ibiza. Tomorrowland, EDC, Cercle, CRSSD and Space Miami have all hosted him.

Built on tribal percussion, soulful vocals and peak-time grooves, his sound sits right at the intersection of underground credibility and global reach.

Australian Grammy Award-winning DJ, producer and mixing engineer Cassian has announced his highly anticipated headline shows at the iconic Portugal Club in Sydney and Melbourne’s stunning Heide Sculpture Park.

With over 200 million streams across his artist releases, 1.5 million monthly listeners, and more than 5 billion streams credited to his production, writing and mixing work, Cassian has established himself as one of Australia’s most globally influential electronic exports.

Returning home for two exclusive performances, fans can expect a powerful journey through Cassian’s signature blend of melodic techno, progressive house and euphoric club energy, paired with world-class production in two distinctly curated environments.

Norwegian DJ oskar med k comes to Melbourne for a headline show at The Forum, as part of his 2027 Australian tour.

With his unmistakable blend of emotion, atmosphere and club-driven energy, oskar med k is set to bring his most ambitious live show yet to Australia this summer.

His breakout single “Make Me Feel” sparked a global movement, later released as a beloved remix with American singer Khalid, topping Shazam’s Global House Chart and reaching #1 at US Dance Radio.

In March 2026, oskar released his debut album, feel, opening a deeper chapter in the emotional and atmospheric world that has come to define his music. Since then, he has taken his increasingly immersive live set to sold-out audiences around the world, with career-defining performances at Coachella, Red Rocks, and Webster Hall, followed by another northern-hemisphere tour. 

2027 marks the next chapter for oskar med k; and Australians will be among some of the first to experience it.
