Press Club | Supported by TANG

Press Club bring Melbourne punk chaos and catharsis to The Rails.
Having toured relentlessly across Australia, the UK and Europe, and built a loyal following for their explosive live shows and uncompromising sound, Naarm/Melbourne four-piece Press Club are heading to Darwin Festival. They bring raw energy, driving guitars and urgent songwriting to the Rails stage. Fronted by Natalie Foster alongside guitarist Greg Rietwyk, bassist Iain Macrae and drummer Frank Lees, the band has earned critical acclaim and a reputation for an electric live presence.

Community-driven and creatively uncompromising, Press Club are defined as much by their connection and resilience as by their volume and velocity. In May 2025, they independently released their fourth album To All The Ones That I Love, debuting at #2 on the AIR Independent Chart and #3 on the ARIA Australian Album Chart, and receiving an ARIA Award nomination for Best Hard Rock Album.

Expect a powerful, high-intensity performance that captures the spirit of Australia's punk and indie underground—loud, honest and impossible to stand still to.
Warming up the stage are Darwin-based fem rock trio TANG, whose gritty, high-energy sound reflects the Territory itself. After a huge 2025, including major NT Music Award wins, TANG are set for an even bigger year, delivering a set guaranteed to leave you sweaty and wanting more.
