March is approaching fast, and with it comes Tent Pole: A Musical Jamboree, a day-long event that promises to shatter the boundaries of your auditory experience. You can surely hear some of Geelong's greatest indie bands (both venerable institutions and rising stars). Make sure you attend this incredible sonic journey!
Topping the bill of Tent Pole, legendary indie rockers Pavement - icons in their native United States and a beloved band internationally - will be gracing audiences with an iconic line-up including Stephen Malkmus, Scott 'Spiral Stairs' Kannberg, and Mark Ibold. Bob Nastanovich and Steve West have been nearly ten years since they last toured Australia!
Tent Pole is thrilled to present Spiderbait, the Kings and Queens of rock & roll in their home region. To commemorate 'Sounds In The Key Of J,' they have put together a compilation album highlighting each track with Janet English as lead vocalist. Celebrate this momentous occasion with them!
The festivities will be headlined by the iconic Geelong legends Magic Dirt, with San Diego fuzz rockers The Schizophonics and fresh-faced Melbourne indie rock and jangle pop band Floodlights in tow. NT's premier Black Rock Band and punk outfit CLAMM complete this first artist announcement, with more mesmerizing acts soon to join them!
Tent Pole is an extraordinary event that brings people from various generations and backgrounds together to share their love for music, art, and culture. This gathering celebrates all those considered 'odd,' excellent, or simply outsiders – everyone is accepted here!
Roundhouse Entertainment, Love Police (led by the renowned Brian 'BT' Taranto), and I OH YOU's founder Johann Ponniah have joined forces to create a revolutionary collaboration - Tent Pole. This ensemble is responsible for popular events like Out On The Weekend & Boogie that enthrall audiences across Australia.
