Gossy Weekender 2024: A Celebration of Live Music and Community
After the resounding success of the inaugural Tubular Festival in 2023, we are thrilled to announce the return of this highly anticipated event in the form of Gossy Weekender, a fresh and vibrant live music activation running from Friday, November 1st, to Sunday, November 3rd, 2024.
This exciting festival marks the next step in a strategic evolution, driven by key projects like the NSW Government’s 24-hour economy, which has seen Gosford recognised as an approved Live Music Precinct. The initiative is further bolstered by Live & Local, delivered by Central Coast Council, Destination Central Coast, the Live Music Office, and APRA AMCOS.
3 Days, 20 Venues, 80+ Performers
Gossy Weekender promises three days of unparalleled live music across 20 venues in Gosford’s newly established live music precinct. With over 80 musicians and bands scheduled to perform, the festival will showcase a dynamic mix of high-profile national and interstate acts, with the marquee first night event headlined by The Jungle Giants at Drifters Wharf with support from The Moving Stills and Elaskia. Death By Denim, Molly Millington, Mia Lovelock and True Vibe Sound System, alongside a stack of emerging and local talent will also be on display across various venues within the Gosford precinct.
