FAQs

Will I be able to sit down at the show?

All FAEBLE run shows have both a seating and standing area! You are welcome to be in either section or switch between the two as the show progresses, please just be mindful of others. If all the chairs are taken and you would like to sit please ask a staff member, we will provide you with more seating.

What is the mosh pit doing?

They are doing idol calls and mixes! You can learn more about these here: Syd Idol Call Guide. You are more then welcome to join the pit at anytime! They will fill the space that is available so even if it looks full or they are taking up a lot of room: if you join they will make space for you!

Where can I get a light stick?

There are many options for light sticks, you can get them from Japan or from Ebay. You are welcome to bring any kind of glowstick or light stick to our show. Laser pointers are not allowed.

Is the venue accessible?


Unfortunately we perform at many different locations, whilst we try to ensure our independent shows are in accessible venues, this does vary show to show. Please reach out and we will be happy to provide more information on any event.

I have a health condition, can I come to the show?

We want to make sure our shows are accessible to as many people as possible. If you have any questions or there is anything we can do to help you participate in the live please let us know! You are also welcome to step outside the main hall as much as needed. Unfortunately our shows and live show streams do feature flashing lights and cannot be made epilepsy safe.

How do you become an idol?


There are many ways! But we recommend posting cover videos online and streaming to build a community! The most important part is to just get started. The IDOLSONA server also provides great support to all Australian Idols, new or established.

How much are the members compensated?

The FAEBLE members, and almost all of our staff are volunteers. We do not get paid for performing, making costumes or for any of our behind the scenes work. Our members together choose to spend our profit towards growing FAEBLE, creating original music and holding bigger and better events.

Can I become a FAEBLE member?

You can always send us an email including a singing video and a dancing video if you would like to be considered. We do also often collaborate within the community and more likely to reach out with opportunities to those who have videos posted on their pages!
