The Presets

Factory Summer Festival is turning up the heat in Brisbane with its inaugural residency at Brisbane Showgrounds. With the opening weekend proving to be a huge success even with a rainy backdrop, the summer vibes were truly felt with the pure euphoria of finally being able to be at a festival and dancing (safely)

The special magic of a great, large scale live concert is hard to match. And god knows we've all been locked up for far too long.

Summer may be long gone but Perth's Factory Summer Festival has been rolling the past few weeks, delayed due to the WA government's restrictions, with The Presets the latest to grace the stage at Metro City.

Oh what a night, locked up with all of my people.

The room was moving as one thriving mess, bodies pulsating rhythmically to the beat.

Ah, The Presets — Australia’s foremost punk-electronica duo graced a modest crowd at The Bluebird Theater last night touring behind their latest album, Hi Viz. For many, The Presets exist in the now-mythical universe of late ’00s electronica alongside artists like Digitalism, Justice and Simian Mobile Disco.

‘Knuckles’ jagged musings welcomed the duo on stage, the starting song of 2018 record, ‘Hi Viz’; it slowly transitioned into fan-favourite ‘Talk Like That’, Big start! somebody shrieked – it was.
