From Sepultura's final Australian farewell to Dragon's Tassie return, tonight launches a massive week of unmissable live music across the country.
Sunday night might traditionally be a wind-down affair, but Australia's live music scene is flipping the script tonight with an absolutely stacked lineup of shows that'll make you forget it's a school night. From metal legends bidding farewell to Aussie rock royalty returning home, this evening launches what promises to be one of the most epic weeks in recent memory.
Tonight's Headliners You Can't Miss
The heavyweight champion of tonight's lineup is undoubtedly Sepultura bringing their "Celebrating Life Through Death: The Final" tour to The Tivoli in Brisbane. This Brazilian metal institution is calling time on their legendary career, making this potentially your last chance to witness one of extreme metal's most influential bands in action. Expect a career-spanning setlist that'll leave your ears ringing for days.
Meanwhile, Aussie rock legends Dragon are keeping the flame burning at Dodges Ferry Hotel in Hobart. These ARIA Hall of Famers know how to work a room, and their intimate Tassie show promises to be a masterclass in Australian rock storytelling.

Down in Melbourne, alternative rockers The Heronbones Project are taking over Brunswick Ballroom, while Sydney's blues scene gets a serious injection of soul with The Black Sorrows at the unlikely but brilliant Tilba Valley Winery and Alehouse.
The Week Ahead: Festival Season Approaches
Tonight's stellar lineup is just the appetiser for what's shaping up to be an incredible week of live music. With Byron Bay Bluesfest 2026 kicking off this Wednesday (April 2-6), the anticipation is building for one of Australia's most beloved music festivals. The Gold Coast event promises four days of blues, roots, and rock that'll set the tone for the entire festival season.
Following hot on Bluesfest's heels, Spin Off Festival hits Melbourne (April 18-19), before the mighty Groovin the Moo tour rolls across the nation from April 25 through May 9. It's festival season, folks, and it's going to be massive.
Don't Sleep on the Undercards
While the big names grab headlines, tonight's smaller shows are equally compelling. Northlane at Crowbar Brisbane promises crushing metalcore perfection, while The Smith Street Band brings their acclaimed punk energy to Solbar Lounge. These intimate shows often deliver the most memorable experiences.
Whether you're after the crushing finality of Sepultura's farewell, the timeless appeal of Dragon's rock anthems, or the discovery of your next favourite band at a smaller venue, tonight offers something for every music lover across Australia.
