Doom rock heavyweights Witchskull are set for a huge homecoming this weekend. They’ll be celebrating the launch of their latest album, The Serpent Tide, at The Basement on Saturday alongside Immorium, Undermines and Loose Cannon.
Triple Threat will return to The Polo this Saturday with an appropriately triple-barrelled lineup. Bec Taylor and The Lyrebirds, The Burley Griffin and CJ Shaw and The Blow Ins will take to the stage from 7 pm.
Elsewhere, Frank Turner, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Moaning Lisa will all be in town throughout the week.
