🎃 Halloween '26 is sorted! 🎃

We've got a spooky night planned with The Evil Ones and The Predawn Civilisation.

The Evil Ones is a tribute to the music of Roky Erickson, particularly the 'asylum years' which produced the horror-themed album The Evil One with tracks such as Night of the Vampire, Two Headed Dog and I Walked with a Zombie.

The Evil Ones consists of members of Bored!, Gas Babies, Motherslug and Howl at the Moon.

Tickets are only $10 - link in bio.

Rounding out the festivities for this year’s Gem Fest are the almighty STEPMOTHER! 2026 has already seen the band release their sophomore album, Absurdus Manifestus and smash out international tour legs across Europe and the United States. No strangers to the iconic Gem Stage, the Melbourne garage-punk power trio will be unleashing their signature brand of feedback-drenched, heavy fuzz and raw proto-punk chaos. Prepare for a high-octane, relentless assault on the senses from one of Melbourne’s most explosive live acts.
