Central Coast

As the sun dipped, the Central Coast transformed into a playground for music lovers - where rhythm met soul and everything in between.

Kicking off in style, The Rions electrified the stage at The Sunken Monkey on Saturday, 22nd March, setting the tone for an unforgettable opening weekend. Then, as Sunday rolled in, Marcia Hines, a powerhouse of Australian music, graced The Art House in Wyong, delivering a magical evening at this much-loved local venue.

Midway through the festivities, Telenova—a trio dripping in cinematic soundscapes and indie allure—descended upon Erina on Thursday, 27th March. With Joshua Moriarty (Miami Horror), Edward Quinn (Slum Sociable), and the mesmerising Angeline Armstrong at the helm, audiences were taken on a journey through dreamy beats and hypnotic melodies.

ARIA-nominated songstress Ngaiire then wove her ethereal, soulful spell over Warner’s Bay Theatre in Lake Macquarie, in a performance that left the audience in awe.

And just when it felt like the music couldn’t get any better, the final weekend arrived in a crescendo of homegrown talent. Two of Australia’s most beloved artists stepped into the limelight for the grand finale: Troy Cassar-Daley, the heart and soul of country storytelling, took over The Art House in Wyong, while rock royalty Baby Animals brought their legendary, high-octane energy to Doyalson RSL on Friday, 4th April.

Closing out the weekend in style were garage rock band The Grogans, who lit up Drifter’s Wharf in Gosford with a show to remember.
