  Shaun Kirk

  Hailing from the music-filled streets of Melbourne, Australia, Shaun Kirk is an award-winning blues and soul troubadour recognized for his exceptional talent as a born entertainer. His unique talent has not only earned him many accolades but also much praise from fellow artists, such as three-time Grammy Award Winner Fantastic Negrito, who has declared his show as "One of the best one-man shows he’s ever seen!"

  Kirk's vocals exude a gritty, soulful depth that seems to transcend far beyond his years, with critics continually acclaiming him as "one of the finest blues voices Australia has ever heard" (Buzz Mag). Complementing his vocal artistry, Kirk's vintage guitar tones and raw grooves pay tribute to the timeless influences that have shaped his musical journey, resulting in a distinctive sound fast becoming his own.

  Shaun’s musical journey has taken him to stages all over the world, where he's not only performed but consistently sold out shows, leaving audiences enthralled by his magnetic presence.

Moreover, he's also had the honour of opening for household names such as blues maestro Joe Bonamassa, soul sensation Allen Stone, and the indomitable Beth Hart; further solidifying his place in the landscape of contemporary music. This remarkable journey is a testament to Kirk's unmatched talent and ability to connect with audiences across genres and generations.

  Sons of Arrakis

  Sons of Arrakis (SOA) is a Montreal-based band, formed in June 2019 and deeply inspired by Frank Herbert’s Dune saga. Their unique sound, a fusion of heavy riffs and sci-fi atmospheres, has been described as Melange Rock and Cinematic Sci-Fi Rock, captivating audiences and critics alike. Their debut album, Volume I (2022), quickly climbed to #1 on the Doom Chart (June 2022) and secured the #8 spot in the year-end recap. Their much-anticipated second album, Volume II (2024), reached #3 on the Doom Chart (July 2024) and earned a place in the Top 10 of the 2024 year-end rankings, further solidifying their impact in the heavy rock scene. SOA has toured extensively across Quebec, Canada and Mexico, and in January 2025, they embarked on their first US venture with The Great Scattering - Part II alongside Salem’s Bend, making their debut in California and Nevada. During this tour, they also took part in the Planet Desert Rock Weekend IV, expanding their presence in the American stoner rock circuit. In 2025, Sons of Arrakis continue their expansion into the United States and Europe with the Shai-Hulud Odyssey 2025, bringing their cinematic, sci-fi-infused heavy rock to new frontiers.

  1000mods

  Since their genesis two decades ago, the Greek powerhouse has become a true staple of the international rock scene out thanks to their anthemic songcraft and hundreds of fire-driven live performances across the globe.

  It’s no wonder why 1000mods are considered one of Europe’s most iconic heavy rock bands worldwide. From the early-day breakthrough of stoner rock milestones Super Van Vacation (2011) and Vultures (2014) to the overdriven rock’n’roll charge of Repeated Exposure to... (2016) and the ambitious alt-rock shift of Youth of Dissent (2020), 1000mods let the power of music speak for itself with their no-frills attitude and strong DIY ethics. Transcending genre boundaries and bringing together generations of faithful fans, 1000mods stands as a unique voice of hope and empowerment for those who are lucky to cross their path.

  Slated for a November 2024 release on Ouga Booga and the Mighty Oug Recordings (world) and Ripple Music (US), their highly anticipated fifth album Cheat Death is set to be their heaviest record to date, delivering ten powerful sonic statements packed with metal and punk influences while still delivering a few shiver-inducing gems along the way. 1000mods are ready to trample upon the heavy rock world and take no prisoner, and you’d better be ready for it!
