Asa & Fefe - Nigerian-French artists Asa and Fefe come to Sydney for the first time. The sublime Asa has drawn comparisons to Erykah Badu with her smoke and honey voice and nod to 60s soul and Afro-beats. Hip-hop artist Fefe presents an explosive live show fusing elements of funk, soul, blues, rock and the odd ballad.

The Stepkids - The Stepkids are the newest signing to Stones Throw Records, home to groundbreaking artists like Madlib and J Dilla. Their stunning debut album is a soul-tinged pyschedelic masterpiece that has captured the hearts of critics.

PJ Harvey - Harvey's latest album Let England Shake is the fastest selling and most critically acclaimed album of her career and has just been awarded the prestigious Mercury Music Prize, making her the only artist to receive this award twice.

Mike Patton - Turn up the summer heat as one of rock music's most admired and distinctive voices returns to Australia in the guise of an Italian pop crooner. Mike Patton, the charismatic front-man of Faith No More, gives dramatic new life to popular and folk tunes of the 1950s and 60s.
