Two Australian musical heavyweights are playing exclusive, intimate concerts this winter, and you're invited. As part of Spotify's Turn Up Aus initiative, hip-hop artist Hooligan Hefs and genre-defying artist Genesis Owusu will be performing at The Bat & Ball Hotel in Redfern across two nights.

On Wednesday, June 24, Western Sydney rapper Hooligan Hefs will perform tracks from his brand-new, highly acclaimed debut album, Sixth Sense, and prove why he's one of the most exciting voices in Australian rap. One month later, on Wednesday, July 29, Australian dance punk and rap artist, Genesis Owusu will take to the stage at The Bat & Ball Hotel for an evening of high-energy music and performances from his new album Redstar Wu & the Worldwide Scourge, including STAMPEDE and LIFE KEEPS GOING.

Turn Up Aus Live is Spotify's love letter to Australian music (and the fans who keep it alive). The series aims to spotlight the incredible talent we have who deserve to be heard, not just locally, but around the world.

While the intimate sets will be filmed, there's no replacement for seeing cutting-edge artists perform up close and personal, and Concrete Playground is giving away two double passes to each money-can't-buy events. All you have to do is tell us in 25 words or less what Australian music needs to be heard around the globe and why.

With no tickets available for purchase, these two shows offer a rare chance to experience some of Australia's biggest musical talents in a setting that's more personal than a festival stage or arena tour. Enter now for your chance to witness Hooligan Hefs and Genesis Owusu's residencies at The Bat & Ball Hotel in Redfern this winter.
