Dry Cleaning with special guest Station Model Violence | Vivid LIVE

Hot off the critical acclaim for their spectacular new album Secret Love (2026), Grammy Award-winning London art-rockers Dry Cleaning return to Australia for their long-awaited Sydney Opera House debut, supported by local underground heroes and post-punk supergroup Station Model Violence.

Led by singular vocalist Florence Shaw, the South London band formed in 2017 and broke through with their debut album New Long Leg (2021), which drew raves for its eccentric, spoken-word vocals over driving post-punk rhythms. Following the musically expansive, Grammy Award-winning Stumpwork (2022), Dry Cleaning returned to the studio with producer Cate Le Bon for this year’s Secret Love, an eclectic mix of playful no-wave, pastoral fingerpicking and paranoid punk rock that sees the band take their place at the forefront of music’s avant garde.

Joining them is Melbourne’s post-punk supergroup Station Model Violence, who return to Vivid LIVE following a blistering performance in 2025, to mark the release of their highly anticipated self-titled debut album. The musical project of Total Control’s DX and Buz from the R.M.F.C., Station Model Violence brings together the sickest sounds from Australia’s post-punk underground. The new record is led by the infectious single 'Heat', equal parts Iggy Pop and motorik jam.
