Chapter Music : End of an Era

Chapter Music are doing RISING the honour of throwing their End of an Era party at Day Tripper.

Chapter Music celebrates 33 years as one of Australia’s most musically adventurous, independent labels—and announces the End of an Era.

From mid 2025, the label will stop releasing new contemporary artists and pare its focus back to reissues and its storied back catalogue. The label will continue but in altered form, so RISING is a chance to celebrate some of Chapter's hugely eclectic and inspiring artists.

For Day Tripper, Chapter Music are taking over Max Watt's with a lineup that is pure eclectic edge and indie charm, spanning everything from Japanese psych-folk to Tasmanian art punk.

Celebrate with Chapter favourites Npcede, Little Ugly Girls, Tenniscoats, Andras & Oscar, and Gregor. They have also invited two non-Chapter artists to join the celebrations. The cosmic-slacker charms of Ryan Davis in from Kentucky, and fast-rising Pluggnb star, Sidney Phillips in from Brisbane. There’ll be a special performance from co-label-head/local music’s very own sweetheart Guy Blackman, too.
