As well as her appearances at Groovin The Moo, Rosinkranz will play sideshows at Melbourne’s Max Watts, Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory, Brisbane’s The Zoo and Perth’s Rosemount Hotel – only the Melbourne show is all ages, while the rest are 18+.

Meanwhile, GZA & The Phunky Nomads will play some unreal, intimate shows at Sydney’s Liberty Hall, Melbourne’s 170 Russell, Brisbane’s The Triffid and Perth’s Magnet House. Kenya Grace, playing in Australia for the first time, is heading to Melbourne’s Night Cat, Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory, Brisbane’s The Zoo and WA’s Freo.Social.

Following his massive debut Australian tour last year, Stephen Sanchez returns this year, performing at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre, Melbourne’s Forum Theatre, Brisbane’s The Tivoli and Perth’s Astor Theatre.
