Newcastle

This is a city that loves its live music and you’ll find gigs happening everywhere. King Street Newcastle will be home to several Great Southern Nights' gigs including some of Australia’s biggest artists like King Stingray, Full Flower Moon Band, The Belair Lip Bombs and electronic music duo Slumberjack. You’ll also catch the infectious sounds of Running Touch and funk/hip hop band Winston Surfshirt at this local favourite.

Get up close to Boo Seeka’s smooth synths and rolling beats at the intimate space Ravella on Watt Street. Meanwhile, legendary Aussie band, The Cruel Sea and New Zealand quintet SIX60 will perform at Bar On The Hill rocking students and visitors to classics and fresh tunes.

If you fancy a short trip out of the big smoke, Xavier Rudd will be playing in a secluded bushland venue, Dashville.

On the final weekend, the city’s oldest surviving theatre, The Civic, will open its doors and welcome the beautiful sounds of Sarah Blasko

The Newcastle scene is deeply supportive of emerging artists, with a tight-knit creative community that nurtures homegrown talent while also welcoming big names from across the country. Make a weekend of it and get along to witness this strong line up of Australian talent.
