8:30 PM: BAND TO BE ANNOUNCED
10:00 PM: AIRBOURNE
Airbourne, an Australian hard rock band, has built a reputation as a raw powerhouse on the global music scene with its energetic and uncompromising sound. Formed in 2003 by brothers Joel and Ryan O’Keeffe in Warrnambool, Victoria, Airbourne draws inspiration from classic 70s and 80s rock’n’roll, reminiscent of legends like AC/DC, with a modern twist that is uniquely their own. Completed by Justin Street on bass and Harri Harrison on rhythm guitar, the band delivers explosive performances that capture the essence of rock in its purest form.
From the release of their debut album Runnin’ Wild in 2007, Airbourne established their signature style: catchy guitar riffs, anthemic choruses, and unstoppable energy. Tracks such as Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast and Runnin’ Wild quickly became rock anthems, propelling the band onto the international stage and earning them a loyal fanbase.
Their discography, including albums like No Guts. No Glory. (2010), Black Dog Barking (2013), Breakin’ Outta Hell (2016) and Boneshaker (2019), reflects their commitment to keeping the flame of hard rock alive, with consistency and intensity that never fades. Each release strengthens their sonic identity, establishing Airbourne as guardians of traditional rock’n’roll while also exploring new musical territories.
Airbourne’s live performances are legendary, defined by overflowing energy and total dedication to their craft. Their concerts are a true experience, where the band’s fierce spirit and the intensity of the music create an electric atmosphere. Their stage presence, combined with their ability to connect with the audience, makes every show unforgettable.
On June 6, Airbourne delighted their fans by releasing their first single in over six years! Bursting with energy, the band returns “on fire and furious,” like rock’n’roll steroids — ready to take on the world and conquer it once again.
