We acknowledge this event takes place on the traditional lands of the Muwinina people of Nipaluna, and pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging. We also honour the Palawa people, the continuing Aboriginal custodians of lutruwita/Tasmania, and recognise their enduring connection to this land.
This is a safe, inclusive space for everyone. We celebrate community and culture, and we expect respect for all. No antisocial behaviour will be tolerated.

Performing regularly across the country and most recently in New Zealand, Grace is known for her raw and passionate performances amplifying marginalised voices and uniting community. Expect deep-thought lyricism, soulful melodies and punchy bars. Grace regularly supports major acts including Dirty Dike (UK), Deca (US), Angry Black Men (US), Grouch (NZ) and K+Lab (NZ). She has supported countless national acts like Drapht, Seth Sentry, Bitter Belief, VV Pete and Cash Savage and The Last Drinks.

Grace has performed internationally at Twisted Frequency NYE Festival as well as her own tour in New Zealand and regularly performs nationally at major festivals including PITP, MONA FOMA, DARK MOFO and The Festival of Voices and a Festival Called Panama.

Grace recently won The Australian Women in Music Award’s 2025 ‘Diversity in Music Award’ for the extensive work she has done to create safe and inclusive spaces for women in hip-hop. She is the 2024 recipient of the “Nick Balcombe ‘Live Your Dream’ Grant” and was selected in AU$’s ‘Best Emerging Artists’. In 2023, she released her debut album, ‘Marsapollo”, won the Young Achiever’s People’s Choice Award, earned a National Live Music Awards nomination for Best Live Act, and was selected in The Push’s 25 under 25 ‘Best Emerging Artists’.

CM3

CM3, a multi headed dumpster baby birthed from Sam Dowson’s stubborn yet neverending grind to force himself on every lineup.

A band rooted in purely improvised expression, players who've rarely played together or never met are curated by Sam usually in the 11th hour. Anti-Boredom and no premeditated themes, CM3 has involved more than 50+ artists since it's formation. SteezE is one of the regular voice components whom from day one holds nothing back and brings his unmatched unique every every single time. Every show is unpredictable, always raw.

OM3

When Sam went full-time legend, SteezE started OM3, a sonic experiment born from his relentless drive to push sound past the edge. A band built on pure improvisation, featuring players who often meet on stage for the first time, energy curated in real time. OM3 explores jagged grooves, fractured rhythms, and immersive sonic landscapes. Each show is a living organism. For this one, OM3 will be joined by some of the freshest local emcee’s Hobart has to offer.

DJ THENSUM

A master of the turntables, a scratch artist who has been shaping the local scene for decades. With hands that move as fast as his imagination, he blends classic cuts, rare gems, and fresh tracks into sets that are both technical and soulful. Known for reading the room and crafting journeys that captivate every crowd, he keeps the energy unpredictable and electric. More than just a DJ, THENSUM embodies the art of vinyl, honouring hip-hop’s roots while pushing every set into new territory.

TAI HARLII

From the icy edges of Finland to the heart of Lutruwita/Tasmania, Tai Harlìi brings a sound that's both delicate and dangerous. Blending soft RNB with dark, powerful undertones, her live show moves between intimacy and intensity—a sonic push between pain and power.
