Magic Dirt

Magic Dirt

supported by Beans

Magic Dirt, the seminal female-fronted alternative rock band from Geelong, emerged in the early 1990s before quickly building a fierce live reputation alongside acts including Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth and Pavement. Their breakthrough EP Life Was Better topped alternative charts for 75 weeks, while landmark albums including Friends In Danger, Young and Full of the Devil, What Are Rockstars Doing Today and the ARIA-nominated Tough Love cemented their place as one of Australia’s defining rock bands.

Renowned for explosive live shows, Magic Dirt became festival favourites at Big Day Out, Meredith, Falls and Splendour in the Grass, while touring internationally across the UK, Europe, Japan and New Zealand.

Following the tragic passing of founding bassist Dean Turner in 2009, the band entered hiatus before reuniting nearly a decade later in honour of their bandmate and legacy. Today, Magic Dirt remain one of Australia’s most influential and enduring live acts.
