It’s an all-ages afternoon of old classics, fresh riffs, and Christmas miracles, featuring special guests Clifford Parade and Chrome Gypsy.

Originating from Melbourne, Dr. Colossus is not your typical doom metal band. Their unique blend of low-tuned guitar riffs and melodically driven songs comes with a twist – their lyrical references are entirely based on episodes of The Simpsons. This distinctive approach has won them acclaim, Triple J play, and international support slots with heavyweights like Red Fang and Acid King.

Despite the tragedy of losing drummer Nathan Johnston in 2017, the band, with a refreshed lineup, triumphed over adversity. Now consisting of Dr. Jon (vocals and guitar), Dr. Love (bass and vocals), Dr. Leg (lead guitar), and Dr. Fill (drums), they’ve conquered grief, reinvented their stage presence, and recently wrapped up a successful Australia and New Zealand tour with Ned Flanders-themed band Okilly Dokilly from the USA.

Don’t miss this chance to experience the collision of Christmas cheer and doom rock, all served with a side of Simpsons nostalgia. It’s a celebration of life, laughter, and the irreverent spirit of Dr. Colossus.
