Supports: Headwreck, Revoid
The #wholesomesadboys we all love and know, Revoid, opened the night and led the charge alongside Headwreck and Windwaker. Delivering a glitching void of emotion as they powered through their set, feelings and memories were made permanent from Friday night’s concert at The Outpost Brisbane.
The insomnia sessions left the crowd feeling on edge in the most chaotic way. Hair flying across the stage, unwavering commitment to pour emotion into every song, the boys were certainly giving us dreamlike Sleep Token vibes.
The connection between Revoid and the crowd was undeniable. Fans pressed closer with every note, mouthing the lyrics back with closed eyes, as if sharing the weight of every word with them. Between songs, vocalist Dale Dudeson shed a rare smile through the intensity, thanking the audience for being part of something so personal. Their set left a lasting ‘Noise In My Head‘.
Firing up the stage midway through the night, Headwreck brought a burst of unhinged energy that lit up The Outpost. It was something that felt like Plan Z: Chaos Served With a Filet-O-Fish.
From ‘Buzzsaw‘ to ‘Plan Z‘, the crowd roared with every chaotic riff, but the true highlight? A McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish sailed onto the stage, and without missing a beat, Jamo Benadie took a big bite mid-song. Bravery? Lunacy? Either way, iconic. Not the first time either, they have even signed a Filet-O-Fish packet before, so it felt like destiny.
Shoulder to shoulder in the pit, fans obeyed every command from the stage. When the call came to open up the pit, everyone scattered, except for one lone figure who dropped to one knee in the center. As the beat dropped, he clapped his hands together, preparing for the chaos of bodies crashing toward him.
It was a sight to match their sound. Raw, aesthetic and tight, with that checkered guitar flashing under the lights and undeniable connection between the band members. Safe to say: Headwreck just earned themselves a spot on my repeat playlist this week.
Brisbane’s Outpost floors were left rumbling when the Zelda-loving heavyweights we know as Windwaker hit the stage, closing out an all‑Australian lineup that showcased just how much homegrown heavy music has to offer. From the very first note, the crowd was hooked. Fans pushed hard against the barricade, headbanging and screaming with every chaotic riff, swept up in Windwaker’s love language of chaos and beauty.
The room was intimate and dark, all but the stage, bathed in light and atmosphere that felt like something you’d see at a stadium show (only ALOT smaller). The energy though, was relentless and the crowd didn’t stop to breathe until Windwaker slowed things down and shifted the mood. Phones lit up the pit like a beacon, as though calling the wind to follow.
When ‘Sirens‘ came roaring through the speakers in the set, it was a clear highlight. The audience wrapped around vocalist Liam Guinane’s finger, moving as one, completely immersed in the moment. His vocals were powerful, guitars chaotic yet precise and the drummer couldn’t help but grin as he hit each beat with everything he had.
A long way from their Waker Mobile days, this Australian hyperpop-metal group showed just how far they’ve come, delivering a performance well beyond expectations. The fans, though tired, stayed until the final note, soaking up every last breath of their air. It was undeniably easy to see that Windwaker just became everyone’s Love Language.
