Kraken Black Spiced Rum is bringing the depths of the underground music scene into the light to present Subterranean Summer with a live music showcase on Thursday, 1 December.

The event will showcase emerging and ground-breaking Aussie artists whose music is challenging stigmas and cultural norms, including headline act Sydney’s hardcore band SPEED and Melbourne’s hip hop duo Posseshot, with support acts including DJ F*KH*D, Mulalo, Histamine and Ptwiggs.

Jem Siow, SPEED frontman, says they can’t wait to hit the stage and share their hardcore music with a wider audience. “Subterranean Summer is gonna be a hectic show. Stoked to play with Posseshot for the first time in Sydney with a mad mixed bill.” 

The line-up also features Australia’s rising countercultural talent and will be the first time the artists will perform on the same stage. 

Tickets are available online now with all proceeds being donated to Support Act, whose mission is to deliver crisis relief services to musicians, managers, crew and music workers across all genres who are unable to work due to health, injury or crisis.  

Hayley Dixon, Proximo Spirits Specialist, notes: “Australia has an incredibly talented and diverse music scene, from the underground hardcore growing its fanbase over the past few years to the hip-hop space that continues to evolve across the nation. We’re thrilled to create an event that celebrates such a diverse mix of talent and supports Aussie’s rising countercultural artists.” 

Subterranean Summer is being held at The Great Club in Marrickville, with tickets including free trial of the new Kraken premix Black Mojito throughout the evening.

Tickets are available online at thegreatclubsydney.com, for $30 (plus booking fee).
