For the 23 October date, Freight Island has confirmed Mark Algar and Connor Passmore as the featured names. The event is built around a long-form evening rather than a conventional support-and-headliner structure, with the music forming part of the wider venue experience.

The official event schedule places Rhythm Tonic between 5pm and 1am. Freight Island opens from midday on Fridays, so visitors can arrive before the listed music start if they want to use the venue’s kitchens and bars beforehand.

Booking is handled through Freight Island’s own reservation system. The venue states that free tickets remain subject to capacity and do not guarantee admission. Guests are also advised that the venue has a no re-entry policy and operates cashlessly throughout.
