UK's legendary Club NME is heading to Australia this February, with the first of what will be a series of regular club nights!
Since its inception in 2004, Club NME has spread its branches across the planet with six UK clubs and nine venues across Europe and the US and now it's our turn!
To kick off the tour Club NME has rounded up some of the finest indie party starters in the country including Philadelphia Grand Jury, Yacht Club DJs, and Purple Sneakers DJs plus they'll be shipping over iconic Brit Andy Rourke who was the bassist from legendary band The Smiths. Rourke is now a high profile indie DJ who has spent the last few years touring the world as well as hosting Saturday nights on Xfm Manchester.
The Club NME tour will be hitting the east coast of Oz stopping in at Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. See below for dates and ticketing details....
One of Australia’s favourite party DJ duos Yacht Club DJs have gotten glitchy with Philadelphia Grand Jury’s hit single (which made it into the Hottest 100 at #57) The Good News.

Your most memorable Festival moment or experience? I think playing at the Open Arms Festival last year in Coffs Harbour. The day was ridiculously hot right up until we hit the stage and just then a massive storm rolled in and it poured throughout our set. Everyone just went with it, got soaked and went crazy and as soon as we played our last note, the storm was gone. It was a surreal.
Favourite Artist you’ve seen at a Music Festival? Ah there's been so many, that's way too hard! I'd have to say Pendulum, Nirvana, Sigur Ros, Ministry, or Daft Punk.
What’s your ideal Festival line-up? Ha ha, see the answer above and add MM9!!!
What are your tips for attending Music Festivals? Sunscreen, plenty of water, and go and watch something that you've never seen or heard before!
