Twilight at Taronga kicks off with a rocking start in 2023 when The Living End take to the stage for the first show of the season!

Their blistering live performances have earnt The Living End the enviable position as one of Australia’s greatest live bands.

They have released seven studio albums and two reached the No. 1 spot on the Australian Albums Chart: self-titled album (12 October 1998) and State of Emergency (4 February 2006). They have also gained chart success in the United States and United Kingdom.

The Living End consider themselves to be a rock 'n' roll band based on punk ethics, citing The Clash, Iggy Pop, The Who and The Jam as influences and bands with whom they share the same ideals, making a social commentary on what's going on around them.

Opening for The Living End are the five friends who make up the band Dead Witch.

Dead Witch are spell-casting their own brand of sparkling psychedelia with undertones of rock & roll and garage revival. These chicks spill a heady witches brew of fuzz, glitter, velvet and leather wherever they tread.

After sharing stages with bands like Body Type, Pacific Avenue, Caitlin Harnett & The Pony Boys, and The Delta Riggs, a successful east coast tour, and releasing their first two singles to huge love across radio and streaming platforms, Dead Witch have well and truly arrived.
