Great Southern Nights: Central Coast

As the sun dips, the Central Coast transforms into a playground for music lovers, where rhythm meets soul and everything in between.

Kicking off in style, The Rions will electrify the stage at The Sunken Monkey on Saturday, 22nd March, setting the tone for an unforgettable opening weekend. Then, as Sunday rolls in, Marcia Hines takes the spotlight, a powerhouse of Australian music, will grace The Art House in Wyong, delivering a magical evening at this local favourite venue.

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

The ARIA-nominated songstress Ngaiire will then weave her ethereal, soulful spell over Warner’s Bay Theatre in Wyong, a performance bound to leave the audience in awe.

And just when you think the music couldn’t get any better, the final weekend arrives in a crescendo of homegrown talent. Two of Australia’s most beloved artists step into the limelight for the grand finale. Troy Cassar-Daley, the heart and soul of country storytelling, will take over The Art House in Wyong, while rock royalty Baby Animals bring their legendary, high-octane energy to Doyalson RSL on Friday, 4th April. Closing out the weekend will be garage rock band, The Grogans at Drifter’s Wharf Gosford.
