The Jungle Giants' support slot contained a steady line of raucous singalongs and bouncy moshing thanks to the lively attendees dancing beyond the picnic blankets laid out behind them. Old euphoric indie-dance tracks like Mr Polite were received as warmly as their new disco banger Feel The Way I Do. However, the biggest ovation would be reserved for the breeze that finally rolled in to relieve punters from the blistering outdoor heat halfway through their set. Frontman Sam Hales gave final thanks to the crowd for their ceaseless energy before unleashing the cowbell in Every Kind Of Way.

Ball Park Music would proceed to match this energy by keeping the cowbell going in their opening track Feelings. The fat bassline in She Only Loves Me When I'm There then coaxed people out of their comfy picnic spots and up to dance, testing the mosh capacity at this sold-out event.

With the stars out and the city lights bouncing off the ocean, the moment couldn't have been set more perfectly for Leef — lead man Sam Cromack's touching love song to his wife. Similarly moving was his solo acoustic rendition of It's Nice to Be Alive. Lighter-hearted moments included Cromack plucking a record from a crowd member and proceeding to get every band member to sign it for the lucky attendee — all before finishing the final chorus of iFly.

The Brisbane band continued to squeeze in plenty of crowd-pleasing gems until they switched things up with their main-set closer Pariah. The band turned inwards and lost themselves completely during this experimental prog-rock jam that incorporated a dissonant array of swirling high-pitched synths and guitar grunts.

Their encore performance saw Cromack and a now-bass guitar-less Jennifer Boyce sing mesmerising acoustic harmonies together as iPhone torches waved in unison across Taronga Zoo. The rest of the band came back on stage to finish the night off heavily with Cocaine Lion, proving that Ball Park Music can bring the house down in bona-fide rockstar style as authentically as the best of them.
