After the inaugural Coogee Fest proved to be a huge success, local rockers The Coogees have once again teamed up with the crew at The Suburban Brew to present Coogee Fest 2026.
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 Souther 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 Pagan, psych-rockers The Sundials and headbanging rock outfit Emergency Rule.
Kingswood are also making an appearance with a special 2am set that will be recorded for a professional live video and audio release.
