Playlunch

This Event is General Admission - Standing Room Only Doors open at 7pm Music starts at 8pm Forged in the depths of lockdown in a share house home-studio somewhere in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, Playlunch is the chaotic, genre-bending brainchild of producer and multi-instrumentalist Liam Bell. A wild blend of retro dance music, late ‘90s/early 2000s Aussie nostalgia and unapologetic suburban swagger, Playlunch aren’t just riding a wave — they’re creating their own: a loud, proud, and irresistibly fun genre they call Bogan Funk. Since bursting onto the scene in April 2022, Playlunch have gone from a cult curiosity to one of Australia’s most exciting and talked-about new acts. Their 2023 debut album Who’s Ready For A Good Time? laid the foundations with viral TikTok moments, triple j High Rotation, and sold-out 500-capacity shows across Australia — but Playlunch aren’t just a viral moment. In an industry facing tough economic headwinds, Playlunch have defied the odds, powered by a fiercely loyal and ever-growing fanbase. Their 2024 showcase at BIGSOUND cemented their reputation as one of Australia’s most exciting emerging acts, with eyes now firmly set on their next era.
