Press Club

Press Club bring Melbourne punk chaos and catharsis to The Rails.

Having toured relentlessly across Australia, the UK and Europe, earning a loyal following for their explosive shows and uncompromising sound, Naarm/Melbourne four-piece punk band Press Club are heading to Darwin Festival. And they’re bringing 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, Press Club have amassed critical acclaim and a reputation for an incredible live show. Community driven and creatively uncompromising, they are a band defined as much by connection and resilience as volume and velocity.

In May 2025, Press Club independently released their fourth album To All The Ones That I Love. The album debuted at #2 on the AIR Independent Chart and #3 on the ARIA Australian Album Chart and earned the band 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. Known for their raw energy, TANG deliver a sound that’s as gritty and wild as the Territory itself. After their huge year in 2025, taking home Rock Song of The Year & People’s Choice at the NT Music Awards for ‘Darwin Time’, TANG are ready for an even bigger 2026. This set is guaranteed to leave you sweaty and wanting more.
