Velvet Trip is the psychedelic music project of Wiradjuri man Zeppelin Hamilton, born

and imagined on Gadigal Country, Sydney, Australia.

Blending psych-rock, indie-pop and soulful groove, Velvet Trip has emerged as one of

Australia’s most exciting and forward-thinking new voices. Since releasing their album

Harmony Blooms in 2024, the band has achieved ARIA chart success, triple j high

rotation, and #1 on the AMRAP Metro Charts, alongside major editorial support across

Spotify and Apple Music. The group has been featured in NME, The New York Times

(T-Mag), RUSSH Magazine, and was selected for Mushroom Group’s ‘First Nations

Pathway Program’.

2025 has marked a defining year for Velvet Trip, following mesmerising standout

performances at triple j’s One Night Stand, Bluesfest, a sold-out headline show at the

Sydney Opera House (Utzon room), and support slots for Djo and Parcels.

Their EP Glimmers and breakout single The Bends saw the band hit triple j’s top 10

most played list, reach #55 on the Shazam Australia charts as the highest-charting

independent Australian artist, and feature in Spotify’s Turn Up AUS billboard campaign.

With their sophomore ‘Glimmers Continued’ album set for release January 2026, Velvet

Trip continues to push into new sonic territory while staying rooted in Hamilton’s

signature dreamlike production and vivid storytelling. Ever-evolving and

uncompromising in vision, Velvet Trip is riding a wave of explosive growth and gearing

up to take on the global stage.
