A music lover’s wet dream, Coogee Fest combines live music, craft beer and food trucks at The Suburban Brew in Glynde on Saturday 28 March.
This year’s lineup features both local acts and an interstate headliner, with rock and rollers The Southern River Band locked in at the top of the bill.
Also performing are The Coogees (of course), alongside Perth’s Ragdoll, rockers Shotgun Mistress, emerging trio Vermantics, heavy stone rockers Dirty Pagans, psych-rockers The Sundials and headbanging rock outfit Emergency Rule.
Kingswood are also making an appearance with a special 2pm set that will be recorded for a professional live video and audio release.
