Headlining the last of three Melbourne events are post-rock legends sleepmakeswaves, playing their first shows of 2025, alongside American alternative rock icons ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, returning to Australia for the first time in over a decade.
The day kicks off at 2.30pm and showcases a dynamic lineup from the Birds Robe family. Highlights include Melbourne rock trailblazers Closure in Moscow, a prog feast from Toehider & Anubis, pummelling post-metal from Myriad Drone & Echotide, and rare live appearances from Kodiak Empire & the theremin-fuelled psych explorations of Sydneys Svntax Error.
The show will also feature artist signings, merch giveaways and a competitive table tennis competition.
Alex Wilson from sleepmakeswaves said of Birds Robe/Mike Solo:
Birds Robe & Mike Solo...people will have lots of things to say about. He is just as much responsible as any member of the band for any of the success that sleepmakeswaves is perceived as having.
The celebration coincides with the release of the Birds Robe documentary series, which premiered its first episode in July. New episodes drop fortnightly from July through December.

Birds Robe has long been a launchpad for some of Australias most acclaimed post-rock and progressive artists, including sleepmakeswaves, We Lost The Sea, Closure in Moscow, Toehider, Meniscus, The Crooked Fiddle Band, Troldhaugen, and Solkyri, among others.
Across its 15-year journey, the label has promoted more than 1,500 live shows and released over 200 records, including five ARIA-nominated albums and seven #1 releases on the Australian Independent Charts. Its catalogue has collectively amassed over 50 million streams, underscoring the labels impact both locally and internationally.
Director Mike Solo says:
Ten years ago, on Saturday5 December in 2015, a bunch of bands playing post-rock, prog, metal and alternative rock got together at Manning Bar in Sydney, Australia to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Birds Robe Records. It was awesome.
Since then, weve crossed the globe many more times, survived a global pandemic and come out the other side with even more talent to showcase from our little niche. So please join us to relive the memories, create new ones & celebrate an epic ride of prog, post rock, and otherwise innovative music with our friends & family.
If youve never had the chance to see some of these bands, we hope our efforts to bring them all together in the one place make for a worthy day/night of entertainment.
Enjoy!
