POND (16 and Over)

POND is one of the most versatile, inquisitive, and accomplished bands in the psychedelic rock vanguard, having announced touring dates spanning several continents in 2024 around the release of their tenth album Stung!, out via Spinning Top Records on the 21st of June. Made up of Nicholas Allbrook, Jay Watson, Joseph Ryan, James Ireland, and Jamie Terry, Pond hails from Fremantle, Western Australia where the group formed in 2010. However, it wasn’t until the release of their 2013 record ‘Beard, Wives, Denim’ that POND went from a group of musicians and friends to an internationally touring band. Today, POND boasts an impressive catalog of recorded music, spanning 9 critically-acclaimed albums with no plans of stopping now. Since its beginnings, POND’s prowess in the live arena has also been well documented. Pond has shared the stage with artists such as Flaming Lips, Queens of the Stone Age, Tame Impala and more. They have also been on major festival lineups worldwide like Glastonbury, Coachella, Splendour in the Grass, and the Great Escape.
