The northern suburbs will play host to new music festival A Day in the Gully in 2026. The jam-packed day of activities arrives courtesy of SRO Events (Standing Room Only) in partnership with City of Tea Tree Gully and features an incredible lineup of Aussie artists, headlined by punk rock icons The Living End.
The brand-new festival takes over Civic Park in Modbury on Saturday 28 February and is expected to attract thousands of music lovers. The all-day event is family-friendly and open to all ages, with the lineup featuring a mix of Aussie stalwarts and rising superstars.

They will be joined by a stack of awesome Aussie acts, including Brizzy indie rockers Ball Park Music, fresh from supporting Oasis, singer-songwriter Pete Murray, downtempo indie electronic artist Chet Faker and pop superstar Mallrat.
The bill also includes a couple of local acts, with Teenage Joans and The Tullamarines performing on the day.
