Experience a groundbreaking fusion of sound and storytelling as SELVE, the pioneering Indigenous led band from the Gold Coast, joins forces with the Australian Session Orchestra for a one night only performance at HOTA (Home of The Arts) as part of Bleach Festival 2025.

Their debut album, Breaking Into Heaven, is a genre defying masterpiece that blends post-punk, psych-rock, indie-pop, and First Nations storytelling. The album was crafted through a three part residency spanning Broome, France, and London, culminating in its recording at Abbey Road’s Studio 3, the same studio where Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon was created.
​
Under the artistic direction of acclaimed visual artist Michael Zavros, who brings a bold and immersive vision to the festival’s 2025 program, this performance promises to be a highlight of the 11-day celebration of art, music, and culture .
​
Don’t miss this extraordinary evening where contemporary rock meets orchestral grandeur, set against the stunning backdrop of the Gold Coast.

Tickets are available now through HOTA .(hota.com.au)
