Cosas que hacer en Wollongong

This one’s been a long time coming — Civic Video is back. Their debut EP, " Making Room For Others" , is here, and they’re taking it up and down the east coast to celebrate. Straight off a run of sold-out shows, the Sydney indie rock four-piece are bringing a brand new live show packed with new songs, old favourites and plenty of energy. Equal parts fresh and nostalgic, Civic Video write honest, heart-on-sleeve songs inspired by DMAs, Gang of Youths and Catfish and the Bottlemen. Live, they pair the emotion of Holy Holy with the energy of Sam Fender — delivering shows that are both intimate and anthemic. It’s been a huge year for the band, sharing stages with Daily J, Letters to Lions, The Vanns, South Summit and Beddy Rays. Now they’re stepping into the spotlight for their EP headline shows, bringing "Making Room For Others" to some of their favourite venues.

ARIA Award-winning indie-rock four piece Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers - Anna Ryan(they/she; vocals guitar), Scarlett McKahey (she/her; guitar/vocals), Jaida Stephenson (she/her; bass) and Neve van Boxsel (she/her; drums) - have gone from strength to strength since the release of their debut EP Pretty Good For A Girl Band (

Check it out! At long last, one of the most vital bands to ever help start the movement are finally bringing their legacy-level, household hardcore anthems to Aus & NZ! Negative Approach . Yep, that one. Formed back in 81 and thought to be gone soon after, NA left us a short but permanent set of songs that still stand strong above the majority to this day. Reformed again only in 06, they pummelled their way right back through with even more fury than round

1. No cash grab reunion, no bullshit, just vital hardcore for the ages here in full force. Be there or remain irrelevant.

Sore Horse Festival presents, The World Is Against You , as they jump across the pond from Aotearoa (New Zealand) for the first time. They're coming through to Wollongong and bringing Juno Eclipse and Drift to the La La La's stage.

TSIM NO MISTAKES TOUR Following the success of their ACCLAIMED concerts at the SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE and Melbourne’s PICA, TSIM have agreed to headline their FIRST NATIONAL TOUR IN OVER 30 YEARS. Because TSIM wants all your money, they will entice you to come to EVERY show on the tour by playing a RADICALLY DIFFERENT selection of fan favourites each night. Plus all the other weird shit that goes on at a TSIM show. One of Australia's most influential and enduring bands, TSIM have spent decades forging a reputation for their genre-blurring, boundary-smashing, sarcasm-wielding (and entirely anonymous) antics. Emerging in the late 80s, the balaclava-clad group have explored dance, pop, rock and caustic wit amongst other musical delights, spanning seven studio albums, countless award nominations and two ARIA Award wins, millions of streams, and a reputation for blistering live performances. Equal measures of joy and chaos, a TSIM concert has to be witnessed to be believed. Don’t miss the unique opportunity to catch this most idiosyncratic of Australian bands at their peak.
