In the organizer's words:

Ball Park Music, one of Australia's most popular indie bands, continues to evolve with their eighth album LIKE LOVE. With five ARIA top five albums and several Hottest 100 hits, they have long since cemented their place in the scene. This time they have dedicated themselves to a more thoughtful folk-rock sound, inspired by artists such as Bob Dylan and Big Thief. Led by frontman Sam Cromack, the album was co-produced with longtime producer Matt Redlich and focuses on raw emotion, love and change. Tracks like Please Don't Move to Melbourne and Pain & Love capture the beauty and fragility of relationships, while the stripped back title track showcases Cromack's intimate songwriting. With LIKE LOVE, Ball Park Music prove that they are still pushing boundaries and delivering heartfelt songs that hit deeper than ever before.

The Australian indie darlings BALL PARK MUSIC have long established their status as one of their country's most revered and endearing bands - with seven consecutive Top #10 album debuts in their home country. This year, 2025 saw the band release their 8th studio album in 15 years. The album "Like Love", released in April, delivered the band's long-awaited and much deserved first No. #1 record. Across its ten tracks, Like Love stays true to its title and sees the band exploring what it means to truly put your heart on your sleeve. The title track and its follow-up single 'Please Don't Move to Melbourne' have already become instant fan favorites with their adoring Australian fan base. Like Love is, ultimately, an album quite unlike anything Ball Park Music have ever done. It's been handled with the utmost care, with a clear vision, and lead singer and principal song-writer Sam Cromack can only hope you can find a piece of yourself within it.

"I gave everything I could to these songs," he says. "I hope it punches you in the gut. I hope it shares a bottle of wine with you while you're crying at night. I hope this hits the heart harder than ever before." The band are currently in the midst of a 35 run of dates in their home country and New Zealand, including sold-out shows in their hometown of Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. In further good news, Ball Park Music were recently announced as the main support for the Oasis Australian leg of their massive world tour. It'll see the band perform in front of five sold-out stadium shows in Melbourne and Sydney in October and November, later this year. To round out what's been an amazing year for the five-piece outfit from Brisbane, the guys head to Europe in late November - early December for their first international dates north of the equator in ten years.
