Rising Naarm/Melbourne pop-rock artist Joey Silveira is giving budding fans a long-awaited chance to take root in his growing musical world, announcing his debut headline show at the iconic Leadbeater Hotel on January 30, 2026.
Marking a significant milestone in his emerging career, Silveira’s first headline show will see him and his band transform the Leadbeater band room, partnering with boutique plant nursery Little Green Obsession for a trailblazing live plant pop-up. Extending the blossoming night’s impact beyond the music, $2 from every ticket sold will be donated to the conservation group Friends of the Leadbeater’s Possum.
Over the past 18 months, glimpses of Joey Silveira across Melbourne’s live music circuit have steadily cultivated momentum, with sought-after support performances quietly building a loyal and growing fanbase. Supported by the blues-soaked Caisha Sprout and the jazz-folk infused Yasmin Leyre, Silveira’s debut headline performance marks a natural progression into the spotlight, promising an immersive evening that fuses atmospheric pop-rock with the thoughtfulness and reflection often showcased in his songs.
Shaped by modern touchstones such as Coldplay and Jeff Buckley, alongside the classic influences of Pink Floyd and Fleetwood Mac, there is both a comforting familiarity and striking contemporaneity in Joey Silveira’s music. As could be expected with his influences, his songwriting traverses emotional and creative depth, confidently reaching beyond pop-rock to subtle psychedelia, folk-inflected textures, and sweeping balladry, capturing moments of introspection before emerging into quiet euphoria.
With artistry enamoured in deeper intention, Silveira is already reimagining what is possible within Melbourne’s famed grassroots live music circuit, going beyond sound with immersive installations and impactful intentionality. His upcoming Leadbeater Hotel show reimagines the traditional gig format, cultivating a “greenified” space where music intersects with community, while honouring the venue’s namesake – the critically endangered Leadbeater’s Possum through tangible conservation support.
Showcasing his undeniably promising catalogue of original music with his debut headline show, Joey Silveira’s creative journey is clearly entering a new phase. While no official announcement has been revealed yet, fans can expect new releases on the horizon as his artistic vision continues to bloom.
