Slips and the F.W.'S live in Brisbane City

Experience Slips and the F.W.'S live on September 4th

Slips and the F.W.'S are scheduled to perform at Grand On Ann in Brisbane City, Australia on September 4th, 2026. Slips and the F.W.'S create music generally described as post-punk, drawing influence from bands like The Fall and Wire, characterised by angular guitar work, driving rhythms, and often spoken-word or declamatory vocals. Their sound incorporates elements of art-punk and no wave, resulting in a deliberately raw and energetic performance style. The band has gained recognition within independent music circles for their consistently evolving sound and dynamic live shows.

Grand On Ann is a heritage-listed venue located in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. Originally constructed in 1928 as a power substation for the tram network, it was later repurposed and operated for several decades as a popular nightclub known as The Annandale Hotel. Following its closure in 2013, the building underwent renovations to reinstate some of its original architectural features while adapting it for use as a multi-arts space. It now functions as a live music venue and event space hosting both local and international acts, maintaining a focus on alternative and independent music genres.
