7.30pm - 8.30pm: Empress
8.45pm - 9.45pm: Blusher

The future never looked so… female! With Zipporah Anu, Empress and headline Blusher, this night we celebrate the best Australia has to offer, right on our Festival Hub Esplanade Main Stage.

Blusher

Blusher are a Melbourne supergroup poised to become your new favourite pop band. Unfiltered lyricism peppered over dreamy synths and thick baselines lands the Blusher sound somewhere between late-night solitude and a 2am dance floor.

Empress

Empress is a five-piece rock band delivering a tight, high-impact live set built for venues, supports, and festivals. Led by a strong female vocalist and backed by driving guitars and a locked-in rhythm section, the band brings control, volume, and dynamic range to the stage.

Zipporah

Born into the entertainment industry to beloved performers, Zipporah’s earliest core memories have been formed in rehearsal rooms, venues and on stages around the country. A proud Samu and Suy woman from Saibai Island in the Torres Strait, Zipporah has walked between two worlds – embracing both sides of her Torres Strait / Australian heritage - to build a career that has always kept her culture front of mind.
