Hold on to your jocks, Brisbane, because this one’s a doozy. Halloween comes but once a year and Deadlam 2016 is here to make sure you’ll be living very large in a sonic capacity.

The super-sized extravaganza comes from the legends at Bedlam Records, who have been running riot in the River City music scene for two years now. To celebrate, they figured they’d throw a shindig for all y’all to get down with.

Kicking it up a notch from humble beginnings as a warehouse party, this year The Drones will be taking the wheel for the four-stage affair. After dropping their latest album earlier this year, this will be a last chance for punters to experience the fury of a live Drones show for some time as the band wrap up a v. long touring schedule.

The good news doesn’t stop there, folks. Deadlam has laid all its cards on the table and its here to win. Joining the line-up is Dorsal Fins, the incomparable Shining Bird, Bedlam’s own Twin Haus, You Beauty and Thigh Master. Hip-hop jazz outfit Astro Travellers, Melbourne’s sombre rockers Romeo Moon, and fresh meat squidgenini will also be there on the night, as will newcomers Rahms, Bugs and Voiid.

In this case, size really matters. Sprinkled across three of Brisbane’s best venues (The Brightside, The Foundry Brisbane and Black Bear Lodge) like tasty breadcrumbs leading on a party trail, Deadlam’s final showing will see to performances from 12 of the best in the biz.
