ABOUT SOUND STATION

As our Newcastle skyline grows with ongoing development, it has never been more important that we voice our support for live music and our live music venues.

​

Sound Station is your chance to do just that - and to enjoy an incredible day and night of live music showcasing some of the best local bands our city has produced over the past five decades!

​

By showing your support for live music, we can prove to government that live music forms the soundtrack of our city and must be protected into the future.

​

And the best part is, it's all FREE! All you have to do is show up and have a great time...

Don't Just Love Live Music...
