Bands In the Beer Garden June - North Gong Hotel

Round two of bands in the Beer Garden is officially locked in. Here is who is taking over the garden next:

SATIN CALI (Headline): Wollongong’s own beach-grunge royalty are taking the top spot. Fresh off an international tour across the UK and Europe and selling out shows nationwide, these legends are bringing their signature raw energy, coastal vibes, and massive rock anthems to our stage.

Groovesis (DJ Set): Splitting her time between Wollongong and Mexico, this genre-blending selector is bringing a mix of coastal warmth and late-night intensity. Expect a dance-first set packed with disco, soul, house, and global grooves designed to keep the floor moving.

Hot Pursuit: Self-proclaimed as the fastest, boldest, and most virile band to grace the Illawarra. This chaotic supergroup serves up a high-octane blend of rap, scat, and premium disco funk, complete with filthy sax melodies and keytar solos. It’s a live experience you have to see to believe.

Aloe Vera: Hailing from Sydney's Northern Beaches, multi-instrumentalist and producer Harry Barwell is bringing his surf-rock solo project down south. Think breezy, guitar-driven beach vibes mixed with alt-pop melodies - absolutely perfect for a sunny afternoon in the garden.

The Sooky La La's: A brilliant four-piece girl band from right here in Wollongong. Driven by genuine chemistry, they’ll be delivering a unique, diverse blend of indie rock, pop-adaptations, bossanova, disco, and blues that connects with everyone.

Gather the crew, bookmark the date, and get ready for another massive day of live tunes, cold brews, and good times.
