Gyroscope
Festival Of Dusk 2026 marks the first time Perth rockers GYROSCOPE have played Albany in 15 years - you won’t want to miss this one! Since their inception in 1997, Gyroscope have become an undeniable mainstay within the Australian music scene, with a diverse fan-base that spans across many ages. Continually releasing critically-praised records, including their 3rd studio album 'Breed Obsession' that debuted at #1 on the ARIA charts. By August in the year of release, the album was certified gold by ARIA. Multiple Gyroscope tracks have also featured in the ARIA charts and Triple J's esteemed Hottest 100. Gyroscope return with the killer new single 'My Broken Spine' - their first new music in six years.

The Frauds
THE FRAUDS are a power pop rock outfit found in the depths of the Perth music scene. Since 2020, the band has forged their own path, gaining a strong reputation for their impressive musicianship, energetic music and high octane performances.

Ivory Dusk
Based in Albany WA, IVORY DUSK ignite their own brand of heavy rock, shining a spotlight on the Great Southern’s alternative music scene. With several WAM nominations under their belt, the band continues to evolve their dynamic sound - pushing further into progressive, melodic and heavy territories.

Packhoarse
Loud, fast, hectic and heavy - PACKHOARSE bring their no-frills hardcore punk brilliance to Albany Town Hall for the first time. Unrelenting and insightful, this Albany-based 4-piece is a force to be reckoned with.

Dig The Dust
Great Southern power trio DIG THE DUST kick off the festival with their infectious combination of groove and rock riffs. Local favourites, these legends will be bringing their robust original tracks to the fore!

Waxing Lyrical
Festival emcees and live music talk show WAXING LYRICAL keeps the momentum rolling between sets throughout the night. As part of the Great Southern original music scene, Aaron and Caleb (Flood The Moon) dive into the stories, inspirations and motivations with local musicians - live on stage.
