Radical Son

Radical Son, one of the most powerful voices and captivating performers in the Australian music scene, is set to launch his stunning new album Bilambiyal at the Avoca Beach Theatre on Sat 31st May 2025. With his Kamilaroi heritage and Tongan roots, Radical Son blends the urgency of hip-hop with the emotional depth of soul, drawing strength from a challenging past. His work has seen him collaborate with renowned artists such as David Bridie, Emma Donovan, and Archie Roach, among others. His transformative journey and profound personal insights promise a performance that will deeply resonate and leave audiences profoundly moved.

“I am so grateful to be releasing our album Bilambiyal and am immensely proud of this work. Although I wish I had a stronger connection to Culture and Country, much of my music reflects my heritage, my mob, and my journey. With almost 20 years as an artist, I've stayed true to myself and my roots. I believe we have created something we can all be proud of, and I truly hope that message comes through in the songs. I absolutely love this album, and I know you will too.”

He will be joined by special guest Frank Yamma.
