This weekend, get set to celebrate all things full-blown rock’n’roll, with Aussie rock festival WANSTOCK returning for its biggest edition yet. Set to take place across two dates in 2025 at the Shoppingtown Hotel in Doncaster, offering back-to-back nights of fun for fans and bands alike, Wanstock will kick off on Friday March 14 headlined by Australian rock royalty, Baby Animals, Taxiride ft Jason Singh and Strait Shooters, with Saturday March 15 headlined by British rock icons The Babys, Mi-Sex, Ted Mulry Gang, Standing Room Only and Day Dreamers.
Born from organiser Geoff Wansbrough’s love of the legendary Aussie pub rock era in the 80s and 90s, Wanstock has evolved since 2018 into an annual showcase of world-class acts alongside talented up-and-comers, with the 2025 edition once again bringing together an iconic array of homegrown and international artists from the rock realms. Tickets for Wanstock 2025 are on-sale now from www.wanstock.com.au/.
On Friday March 14, get set to experience the legendary stylings of Aussie rockers Taxiride ft Jason Singh. Hailing from Melbourne, Taxiride roared into view with their double platinum 1999 album Imaginate, which reached #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, and boasted earworm singles like Get Set and Everywhere You Go. Taking home the 1999 Breakthrough Artist – Single ARIA Award for Get Set, Taxiride went on to release the certified platinum 2002 full-length Garage Mahal, as well as 2005’s Axiomatic and 2006’s Electrophobia. Helmed by the soaring vocals and electrifying performance of frontman Jason Singh, Singh has remained one of Australia’s most in-demand entertainers, and his high energy rock show performing Taxiride smash hits is one absolutely not to be missed. “Wanstock…picking up where Woodstock left off!” shares Singh of his upcoming Wanstock appearance next March. “Looking forward to joining a long list of incredible artists and bands that have played Wanstock over the years, bring on 2025.”
