Cub Sport

There are few trajectories in Australian music more remarkable than that of Cub Sport. Since they emerged as a promising young indie band in the early-2010s, the Meanjin (Brisbane) four-piece, comprised of Tim Nelson, Sam Netterfield, Zoe Davis and Dan Puusaari, have become known for their powerful, must-see live show and their ardent fanbase, as well as ARIA Platinum and Gold-certified singles like Come on Mess Me Up, Chasin’ and Sometimes. Prolific and profoundly influential, Cub Sport are one of Australia’s most significant pop exports, and arguably the most successful independent (self-managed and self-released) band in the country. Boasting over 250 million streams and an ARIA #2 album to their name (2020’s Like Nirvana), Cub Sport have achieved some of the highest possible honours in Australian music, performing at the 2020 AFL Grand Final and placing in triple j’s Hottest 100 five times. Their music has been praised by the likes of The Guardian, BBC Radio 1, Rolling Stone, Billboard, i-D, Vice, Gay Times, The FADER and countless others. In 2023, Cub Sport are set to return with long-awaited new music and a treat for Splendour audiences, with Tim telling us, “Splendour is gonna be the first time we get to play our new album Jesus at The Gay Bar live in Australia! It’s a party album but also kind of emotional so I think it’s gonna be really special and sooo fun.”
