"Rounding out with a striking, stomping rendition of Jezebel, Calvi was given a much-deserved standing ovation for a passionate and faultless performance."

Bring on multiple sold-out nights at intimate venues instead of under-filled stadium shows, we say.

Stepping into the opening notes of Higher Love, his cover of the classic Steve Winwood song, the applause that follows is the loudest of all and continues when he returns to play the encore, And If My Heart Should Somehow Stop, alone, and then If I Had A Boat, with the band.

Harmony do put on an entertaining performance however, with each member on stage an absolute master at what they do.

Offering the goods to confirm the hype, DMA’s seriously impress with their winning hooks, which are capable of quickly luring new fans into the fold. Watch out, Splendour

"Summer Forgive Me would be the crowd highlight followed closely by their final song, This Ain’t No Fucking Disco in which the throng screamed back the lyrics in unison and in pure adoration of the modest band from Melbourne."

Northlane went from strength to strength and concluded on a high with the massively ambient Quantum Flux.

Their vocals were loud and retained the clarity to understand him throughout – usually a hard job to compete with when playing such an instrument- and effect-heavy style such as thrash-pop.
