Pressure Point touring event to launch in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in March 2027

I OH YOU and MG Live have announced Pressure Point, a touring event that will make its debut with shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane from 19 to 21 March 2027, Rolling Stone Australia reports. Rolling Stone Australia describes it as a "fresh and fast paced touring show".

The first lineup includes JPEGMAFIA, A.G. Cook, PC Music, Trash Talk, feeble little horse, Shady Nasty, xiao xiao and FUKHED, a mix of international and local names. In a statement, the organisers said the event aims to bring together the underground's leftfield scenes across hardcore, post-punk, hip-hop, experimental and electronica.

Organisers' aims

I OH YOU founder and director Johann Ponniah and MG Live director of touring Sam Rogers said the idea had been discussed for years. They described the lineup as including some of their favourite acts from the hardcore, hip-hop, indie and electronic communities.

"The line-up features some of our favourite acts from the hardcore, hip hop, indie and electronic communities, and we hope this event will act as a place to celebrate the shared spirit and energy of those genres."

The quote is credited jointly to Ponniah and Rogers in the announcement.
