Free Throw in Wollongong

Free Throw is an American emo band formed in Nashville in 2012. Its music pairs the interlocking guitars of Midwest emo with punk and pop-punk energy. The band is particularly known for its debut album, Those Days Are Gone, and the song “Two Beers In,” followed by records including Bear Your Mind and What’s Past Is Prologue. In 2024, Free Throw marked the tenth anniversary of Those Days Are Gone with a North American headline tour and performed the album in full. Ben Quad, Harrison Gordon and Carpool supported the band across the run.

Ben Quad is an American emo band formed in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 2018. Their debut album, I'm Scared That's All There Is, includes “You're Part of It” and “Blood for the Blood God,” pairing intricate guitar lines with pop-punk momentum. The EP You'll Get Nothing and Like It brought a heavier post-hardcore edge to their sound. In 2023, Ben Quad opened dates on Hot Mulligan’s Why Would I Watch Tour, which also included Spanish Love Songs and Heart Attack Man. The following year they joined Arm’s Length, Carly Cosgrove and Saturdays at Your Place for the North American Wax Bodega Tour.
