First band: 3:30PM

RESERVE SKANK OF AUSTRALIA
Canberra’s most joyous dose of ska, reggae and rocksteady (under-40s division, naturally). RSA are leading a new wave of reggae appreciation in this riddim-starved capital, drawing inspiration from legends like Gregory Isaacs, Peter Tosh and Eek-A-Mouse.
With a lineup that can swell from six to twelve members, expect bold brass, rolling basslines, tight guitar skanks and bombastic vocals. Pure roots and rhythm, Canberra style. Yes I-yah!

AGENCY DUB COLLECTIVE
Formed in Melbourne in 1999, Agency Dub Collective are pioneers of Australia’s live dub-reggae and dancehall movement. Renowned for their heavyweight sound, ADC fuse live instrumentation with deep electronic textures — channeling 60s and 70s Jamaican roots while pushing into futuristic dub territory. With multiple album releases, national tours, and festival appearances including Rainbow Serpent Festival, they bring serious low-end pressure and immersive sonic energy.

Two bands. One stage. Deep bass. Heavy skank. Proper Sunday vibes.
