Experience The Nova Fiends live on July 23rd

The Nova Fiends are scheduled to perform at The Tote, located in Collingwood, Australia, on July 23, 2026. The Nova Fiends are a Melbourne-based band generally described as playing high-energy garage rock with strong influences from 1960s proto-punk and psychedelic rock. Their sound incorporates fuzzed-out guitars, driving rhythms and often features dual vocal delivery. They have released several EPs and a self-titled LP since forming in 2018, gaining a local following within the Australian independent music scene.

The Tote Hotel, commonly known as The Tote, is a historically significant live music venue in Collingwood. Originally established in 1878, it has operated continuously as a hotel for much of its existence. It gained prominence as a crucial hub for Melbourne’s punk and alternative music scenes from the late 1970s onwards, hosting both local and international acts. Facing potential closure in 2010 due to licensing disputes and community concerns regarding anti-social behaviour, a significant public campaign secured its future. The venue continues to champion independent and emerging artists while maintaining its reputation as an iconic part of Melbourne's cultural landscape.
