A Musical Odyssey
The Sydney Coliseum Theatre's magnificent halls will resound with the first chords as the stage lights go down, taking the audience on a musical journey that will take them from classic rock stars of the past to the sounds that define today's music scene. The stage is set for GIG60, a three-day festival celebrating West HQ's 60th anniversary and promising to be one of Australia's most exciting musical events in recent memory.
This year's GIG60 live music is also about community, nostalgia, and an exploration of the many genres that have influenced Australia's rich musical history. GIG60 offers something for everyone, regardless matter whether you were around for the heyday of Aussie rock in the 1970s or are more into the indie wave that has been taking the world by storm recently.
Day 1: Total Legends (September 25, 2024)
With Total Legends, be ready to relive the heyday of Australian music. This evening is devoted to the pioneers of pop and rock music who influenced the development of society. Legendary singer Daryl Braithwaite, well-known for hits like "The Horses," is guaranteed to cause big sing-alongs and relive decades' worth of memories. He's joined by the Baby Animals, whose raw rock sound will remind fans why they're still considered one of Australia's greatest bands.
The legendary Marcia Hines, who achieved remarkable success as one of Australia's first female pop performers and continues to influence artists to this day, rounds out the roster. This evening will feature more than just music; it's going to be a walk down memory lane honoring the pioneers who established the groundwork for the current state of the music industry.
Day 2: Total Country (September 26, 2024)
Changing genres, Total Country pays tribute to Australia's passion for country music by giving some of the top musicians in the business a stage. With live performances that feature a blend of soulful ballads, upbeat jams, and foot-stomping rhythms, this evening will exemplify the rustic charm and storytelling legacy of country music. Although the complete lineup is still pending, you can anticipate seeing well-known country musicians take the stage and offer touching performances that will appeal to both seasoned fans and casual listeners.

Day 3: Total Icons (September 27, 2024)
Total Icons will close the gap between nostalgia and modernity on the last night. With Boy & Bear as the headline act, the festival's last show features a more modern sound. Their incredibly evocative, folk-infused songs will enthrall the audience and produce a visceral, immersive experience.
Middle Kids, whose upbeat and original sound has been creating waves in the indie-rock scene, will be sharing the stage with them. Known for their intense live shows, they will undoubtedly provide a raw intensity to Boy & Bear's more reflective act. Dylan Wright completes the evening. As a rising star in the music industry, he is the ideal addition to a night honoring contemporary Australian classics.
With its performers who have not only achieved local success but also garnered international recognition, Total Icons is a representation of the future of Australian music. Reminding the crowd that live music has an equally bright future ahead of it, even as we commemorate 60 years of West HQ's extraordinary history, is the ideal way to cap off the festival.
