‘Pandemonium Rocks’ Brings my favourite 70’s Icon to AUS…
Rock festival PANDEMONIUM dropped an icon-stacked lineup this past month with rock royalty ‘Blondie’, ‘Alice Cooper’, ‘Deep Purple’, ‘Dead Kennedys’ + ‘Placebo’ & more….
Get ready to dance like you’re at CBGB’s as Blondie, one of the most influential bands of the punk and new wave era, graces the Pandemonium stage with their iconic presence. Led by the incomparable Debbie Harry, Blondie has been setting the music world ablaze since the 1970s with their catchy hooks, genre-defying sound, and rebellious spirit.
From chart-topping hits like "Heart of Glass" and "Call Me" to cult classics such as "One Way or Another" and "Rapture," Blondie's infectious blend of punk, pop, and rock continues to captivate audiences across generations. With Debbie Harry's magnetic stage presence, Chris Stein's blistering guitar riffs, and Clem Burke's powerhouse drumming, Blondie promises to deliver a performance that will leave an undeniable mark on Pandemonium’s audiences this April.
Debbie Harry has remained top of the rock game and #1 in many hearts ever since Blondie’s first stomp on the scene. My jaw has not stopped dragging along the ground since this announcement found its way to my Instagram feed.
A Smorgasbord of Rock Goodness….joining Blondie in headlining glory are three more titans of rock;
Icon Alice Cooper
Get ready to be schooled in the ways of shock rock as the one and only Alice Cooper brings his signature blend of theatrics, horror, and hard-hitting tunes to the Pandemonium stage. With classics like "School's Out," "Poison," and "No More Mr. Nice Guy," Alice Cooper is guaranteed to deliver a performance that's equal parts spectacle and rock 'n' roll insanity.
Placebo
Brace yourselves for an emotional rollercoaster ride as Placebo takes the stage, delivering their unique brand of dark, brooding rock with a dash of glamour and grit. From anthems like "Every You Every Me" to the haunting "Pure Morning," Placebo's haunting melodies and raw intensity will leave you spellbound from start to finish.
Deep Purple
Prepare to be transported back to the golden age of rock as Deep Purple unleashes their legendary catalog of hits on the Pandemonium crowd. With iconic tracks like "Smoke on the Water," "Highway Star," and "Hush," Deep Purple's virtuoso musicianship and infectious energy are sure to have fans of all ages rocking out in the aisles.
But the excitement doesn't end with our headliners! Pandemonium Festival 2024 boasts an eclectic lineup of supporting acts that will keep the rock 'n' roll party going strong all weekend long. From up-and-coming indie bands to beloved favorites, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
