The Rubens '10 YEARS OF HOOPS Celebrations'

7:00pm, Fri 22 August, 2025 - 10:30pm, Sun 24 August, 2025

Event Details

Alt-rock favourites The Rubens are celebrating a decade of their breakthrough, gold-certified album Hoops with three huge nights at Oxford Art Factory’s Main Room on August 22, 23 & 24.

Originally released in 2015, Hoops marked a turning point for the band—catapulting them from promising newcomers to one of Australia’s most beloved live acts. The album spawned hit singles including the title track “Hoops,” which famously took out the #1 spot in triple j’s Hottest 100, and laid the foundation for a career that has seen them headline major venues and festivals around the country.
