Join South West Sydney indie-pop artist Nicole Issa as she celebrates the release of her debut EP, Bring It Back To Me, with her biggest headline show yet at The Lord Gladstone.

Four years in the making, the EP follows the mess and magic of your twenties - falling in love, heartbreak, chasing dreams that feel impossible, and slowly finding your way back to yourself. It's for anyone who loves too hard, overthinks everything, and is still figuring it out.

Nicole will bring all five tracks to life for the first time, backed by her full band.

Off the back of her first East Coast tour (solo shows in Sydney and Melbourne, raising money for Endometriosis Australia along the way), Nicole's music has caught the ear of BBC Radio 1, triple j, Spotify and Apple Music. BBC Radio 1's Maia Beth called her songs "a hug in song form," and triple j's Tiffi praised Cliché as a "folk pop banger," also naming her "one to watch".

Come celebrate Bring It Back To Me live!

JËVA

JËVA is a queer Chinese-Australian indie pop artist and songwriter from Sydney. His music is diaristic and cinematic - driven by a desire to turn his lived experience into healing and connection, being the representation he needed as a kid.

Since debuting with his acoustic Saturday EP, JËVA has built a deeply personal and growing catalogue, culminating in the breakout EP Typhoon - a concept record tracing his real-life coming out story and public outing. The EP earned industry attention, including playlisting on TikTok’s Pop & Pride (Good Friends), a public endorsement from Tones & I (Typhoon), and national airplay on Triple J Unearthed (Possibility).

The project’s sold-out launch at The Vanguard and a headline slot at Mardi Gras Fair Day 2022 positioned JËVA as a rising voice in Australia’s independent pop scene.

He has since performed at World Pride, released Typhoon: The Short Film, and landed his first Triple J play (I Would Cry). In 2023, he co-hosted FBi Radio’s Tall Pop with collaborator Nicole Issa, supporting emerging artists and platforming new Australian pop music. To farewell their radio show, they released “Are You Really Worth It” which was featured on BBC Radio 1’s Future Pop.

After a short hiatus to reflect, heal, and regroup - JËVA is now gearing up for the release of Teenage 20’s, his most ambitious chapter yet. This new body of work explores the messy, beautiful contradictions of queer adulthood: dating, disillusionment, self-worth, and self-discovery. It’s a coming-of-age for those who missed the rites of passage - an adolescence lived late, and out loud.

In an industry obsessed with polish and personas, JËVA offers something different: no alter, no ego - just a boy on a record. He’s not running away anymore. He’s running toward himself - and inviting you to come along.
