<p style="text-align: center;"><u><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>ALEX THE ASTRONAUT &nbsp;</strong></span></u><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;"><u>+ Guests</u></span></strong><br><strong>&#39;The Weird One&#39; EP Launch</strong><strong><br></strong>The Vanguard, Newtown NSW<br>Sunday&nbsp;October 4th, 2026 (Long Weekend)&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Alex the Astronaut&nbsp;</strong>is the ARIA-nominated, Sydney-based singer-songwriter who has toured the globe but famously never actually been to space. Alex&rsquo;s signature blend of hyper-observant lyricism and infectious melodies is uniquely Australian, so much so that their sophomore album, <em>&lsquo;How To Grow A Sunflower Underwater&rsquo;&nbsp;</em>was once presented as an official diplomatic gift to New Zealand.</p><p style="text-align: center;">After a 2-year musical hiatus, Alex is returning to debut a bold new chapter. They spent their time away absorbing new creative dimensions, graduating from Cate Blanchett&rsquo;s acting alma mater - NIDA - and expanding their foundational story telling skills onto the screen with a starring role in the new medical drama &#39;The F Ward&#39;. This creative rebirth takes shape in <em>&lsquo;The Weird One&rsquo;,</em> - an EP born from an unconventional, cross-continental hustle.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Every track was written entirely via Zoom, connecting Alex&rsquo;s Sydney apartment with producer Jonathan Quarmby at London&#39;s legendary RAK Studios. The music directly reflects a period of grounded, everyday routine, and exposes Alex&rsquo;s gift for turning the mundane details of life into brilliant pop-folk poetry. Alex wrote these songs while balancing shifts at a local music store and a children&#39;s hospital, a clash between corporate survival and artistic purity that also comes alive visually in a series of whimsical, wonderfully wacky music videos.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">Fast forward to now, and Alex The Astronaut return&#39;s to live stages across the East Coast launching &lsquo;The Weird One&rsquo; and the next chapter of their brilliant career!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br></p><hr style="text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: center;">TICKETING INFO</p><p style="text-align: center;">This is an 18+ event.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">Do not attend if you are feeling unwell.</p><p style="text-align: center;">PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:</p><p style="text-align: center;">Once purchased tickets are non-refundable &amp; non-transferable</p><p style="text-align: center;">A booking fee applies to all advance tickets.
