After accidentally roasting The Navy Band at a charity gig in 2023 Jarryd Goundrey is finally going on tour to apologise properly. With over 100 million online views and regular spots at comedy clubs all over Australia, Jarryd has built a cult following for his sharp, relatable stories from life in and after uniform.

Bring your friends, grab a seat, and soak up the atmosphere as two powerhouse teams battle it out under the lights at Kahibah Public School. Family-friendly, loud, and full of derby spirit — it’s the perfect night out. Tickets available online or at the door. Don’t miss it.

Drapht is hitting the road early 2026 with a national tour that delivers a high-energy celebration, sharp storytelling, and decades of classic Australian hip hop. Backed by Dazastah on drums, the shows blend fan favourites with fresh new material, delivered with the intensity and honesty Drapht is known for. From major festival stages to intimate headline dates, expect big hooks, heavy beats, and a live show built for true music lovers. This is Drapht in full flight, unfiltered, seasoned, and sharper than ever.

Newcastle’s The Sweet Heaps bring together four friends with one mission: turn life’s chaos into anthems you can shout at the top of your lungs. Elestial is a four piece indie rock band with elements of shoegaze, indie-pop and rock. Kindred to bands such as Middle Kids, Spacey Jane, The beaches and Killing Heidi, Elestial mixes poetic and folk-esque songwriting to an indie rock sound, creating a magical blend of sound. They're joined by locals The Monty Shambles & Carnivara.

Sesh Pests are a high energy local band bringing just the right amount of chaos. Blending gritty guitars, punchy bass lines, and shout along hooks, they turn every gig into a sesh. Equal parts unhinged and electric, Sesh Pests are here for a good time.
The Pigs return with their hillbilly pop magic — bluegrass, comedy, and high-energy covers of Beyoncé, Farnsy, INXS and more. A wildly fun live show.
