Getdown Services - Australia & New Zealand 2026 at The Brightside Brisbane | Choon

About the night

Meet Getdown Services – your new favourite band and one of the UK’s hottest word-of-mouth acts! The brilliantly offbeat cult British duo has been turning heads across Britain and Europe with their balls-to-the-walls live shows, tongue-in-cheek wit, razor-sharp lyrics and infectious disco-fuelled grooves, teetering between chaos and genius. And now, after selling out tours across the UK and Europe, they’re bringing their riotous show down under for the first time in May/June 2026 – with shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland and Wellington, presented by I OH YOU and MG Live. Tickets go on sale Friday 14 November at 10.00am local time, with MG Live presale commencing Thursday 13 November at 10.00am local time.

It looks mad – there’s snakes and also it takes 40 hours to get there.’ Will be good fun, though! Went to New Zealand to see a mate of ours get married a few years ago and thought it was a lovely country and I really liked those pies they have. It felt quite similar to the UK in a lot of ways, so playing gigs there should be fun!” Getdown Services For those in the know, Bristol-based duo Josh Law and Ben Sadler – aka Getdown Services – are THE must-see new act of the year. And if you don’t know yet, you will soon … and you’ll wish you got in early! Named as “one to watch” at this year’s Glastonbury Festival and dubbed (by the band themselves) “Britain’s Best Band”, their live shows are equal parts smart, sweaty and gloriously unhinged. Their sound is a wild blend of scrappy indie disco, twisted funk and post-punk energy, turning the absurdity of modern Britain into dancefloor gold. The pair met at school in Minehead, Somerset and now make music together at home in Bristol – churning out what Rolling Stone called “power disco with unrepentant silliness” with a healthy dose of satire and swagger. Their highly lauded debut album Crisps (Breakfast Records, 2023) showcased their eclectic danceable grooves and biting social commentary, and a mix of sharp, funny social observations wrapped in irresistible, funk-fuelled rhythms. Follow-up EPs Your Medal’s In The Post, Crumbs and latest, Primordial Slot Machine, cemented their cult status, alongside an arsenal of red-hot singles – including James Bay’s Hat, Dog Dribble, I Got Views and Eat Quiche, Sleep, Repeat. “Getdown Services are unrepentantly silly and constantly deliver one of the most joyously deranged live shows – just one of the best live bands out there!” Rolling Stone “Their live show is as daft and as exhilarating as they come. Five stars.” Buzz Magazine “Genuine contenders to being the most exciting and interesting band in the UK right now.” CLASH Getdown Services look set to gobble up the world, one crumb at a time. Whether you’re into danceable chaos, satirical genius or just want to be ahead of the curve, Getdown Services are the band you didn’t know you needed – until now! Britain’s favourite new band are about to become yours too! MG LIVE TERMS OF SALE https://mg.live/termsofsaleAny updates to the Terms of Sale moving forward will get updated online here.
