Melbourne punk mainstays Eddy Current Suppression Ring will stage a free, all‑ages concert at Federation Square on the AFL Grand Final Eve public holiday on Friday, 26 September 2025. Their first headline hometown gig in 15 years, the performance marks a triumphant return for the band since their celebrated-era in the early 2000s.
Eddy Current Suppression Ring formed in Melbourne in 2003 and are champions of raw, no‑frills garage punk. They burst onto the scene with Primary Colours in 2008, earning the prestigious Australian Music Prize. After a hiatus, they reunited in 2016 and released All In Good Time in 2019, but this Federation Square concert marks their first Melbourne headline since 2010.
Joining the punk legends are NYC’s psychedelic hip‑hop visionary EDAN (described as “part rap show, part spaced‑out beat odyssey”) and Melbourne-based duo Wrong Way Up, who fuse Afro-disco with ’70s synth-funk and experimental electronic grooves.
This Grand Final Eve show promises to pack Federation Square with electrifying energy, offering fans a rare chance to experience one of Melbourne’s most influential bands—live, for free, and right in the city’s cultural hear
