Ten years after the MUST production that launched the Bloomshed ensemble, these award winning theatre companies return with an all-new corruption of Gogol’s The Government Inspector.

A live theatrical seminar for the savvy entrepreneur, We’re Banking On It! is the only show that promises to double your investment.* Our team of highly trained business professionals are ready to show you all the tricks of the trade. Forging signatures. Price gouging. Bribing your local council to get around those pesky zoning laws. No matter what it is, our expert business analysts promise you won’t leave empty handed. In fact, we’re banking on it!

Fresh off their second Green Room Award for Best Production, Independent Theatre (Animal Farm 2024, Paradise Lost 2023) and hailed as “the most innovative, bold, daring and creative theatre makers around” (My Melbourne Arts), Bloomshed promise more exciting and distinctive excavations of current issues. We’re Banking On It! fuses ideas from the new theatre talents of MUST with The Government Inspector framework to examine capitalism’s iron grip on corporations and government.

Artistic Director of fortyfivedownstairs, Cameron Lukey, says: “In 2017, we collaborated with MUST to give Daniel Lammin’s acclaimed production of Awakening a much deserved return season. I’m thrilled to welcome the company back for this exciting collaboration with Bloomshed, whose work has become unmissable following the success of Animal Farm, Paradise Lost, and A Dodgeball Named Desire. What a fantastic idea for Bloomshed to re-team with MUST for this new iteration of the show that got the company started 10 years ago. I know it’s going to be a lot of fun!”

Nathan Burmeister (Set & Costume Design) adds: “For most of the Bloomshed ensemble, MUST was the perfect playground to experiment and learn about theatre. We are excited to be able to work with the amazing team at MUST and create something new and unique with the current emerging artists.”

You’ve seen reporting on price gouging, bribery and dodgy business practices across your screens. It’s time to see this issue from a dynamic Gen Z perspective. For director James Jackson; “as the most recent adults to inherit the world, these young artists are perfectly positioned to critique issues impacting their future – and present. And together, we have a lot to say about corruption amidst a cost of living crisis, about profiteering from human need.”

The legendary Dj Trace return to Melbourne for a blinder of a show with the full Echo Chamber Soundsystem

Since rave’s earliest days DJ Trace has been a prominent figure carving his niche and blazing an unmistakable trail in the jungle/drum & bass community. A regular at the iconic churches of Rage and Telepathy, the Londoner then proceeded to work closely with two of the most influential jungle imprints of the time: Lucky Spin and No U-Turn where he and fellow pioneers such as Nico, Ed Rush and Fierce honed the essence of tech-step. He also released the massive Sonar on Grooverider’s Prototype among many other era-defining cuts including the memorable Mutant series.

In 1999, he established his own influential imprint: DSCI4, one of the earliest labels to champion international talent. Responsible for early or debut releases from the likes of Black Sun Empire, Mindscape, Chris.SU, Task Horizon, Silent Witness, and many more, He’s also behind the more recent label 117, a rougher, more breakbeat based imprint that he set up in 2013, starting with DJ Future’s ‘Is It Safe/ Evil Place’ 12” release, years before the current upswing in Jungle.

The Zone EP, his first full EP release as DJ Trace since 2003, dropped in 2018 and since then has been firing on all cylinders, releasing a prolific number of projects on his own labels as well as others, including Deep Jungle & CNVX. The Nine Windows project with Kid Drama continues to receive wide spread notoriety and his highly anticipated collaboration with HLZ ‘Raptor EP’ is set for release on Metalheadz in 2024.

His national DSCI4 tour kicks off in May, with stops scheduled in Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane & Sydney and we can assure the Perth show at 201 Below will be one for our history books.

“One day I’ll look out my window and you’ll be standing in my driveway. You’ll be standing in my driveway and you’ll be home.”

It’s a sweltering small-town summer in Wangaratta when eight year olds Maddy and Luke first meet. Maddy is convinced of two things: her dad is a famous rockstar and if she travels the world long enough she’ll eventually find him.

At 17, bored with the monotony of small town life and heady with first love, Maddy plans the pair’s escape to Melbourne.

At 23, Luke– who hasn’t seen Maddy in six years– has built a comfortable life for himself in Wangaratta. But when she appears unannounced in his driveway one evening, the pair are swept back together in a storm of adolescent nostalgia and their former selves, wondering where they have been without each other and where they are going next.

A stunning new Australian play from award-winning playwright Callum Mackay, the last train to madeline propels its audience back to the nostalgias of first love, the complexities of friendship and the sadness of letting go. Backed by a ‘So Fresh’ soundtrack that defined a generation and spanning the most formative years of all our lives, acclaimed independent company Fever103 Theatre brings its signature brand of visually poetic storytelling to this story of a magical world of adolescence and suburban dreams.

Lithe has been creating waves globally with his signature sound resonating with his army of supporters. The ‘What Would You Do’ tour surrounding the release of Lithe’s eagerly anticipated new music are his first headline shows since his debut shows in 2023, which sold out weeks in advance. The sellout tour led to Lithe being hand-picked as the special guest for both 070 Shake’s headline shows and Lil Tjay’s arena tour.

Lithe’s latest release “For You” features OVO Sound artist Roy Woods, a clear indicator that Lithe’s prowess as an artist has penetrated the highest of echelons of hip hop.

Lithe’s world-class blend of hip hop, R&B, future trap and soul has created his own musical universe. His productions have amassed over 200 million streams with no record label, resulting in a passionate & rapidly growing cult following around the world.
