For a strip of coastline, Northern Beaches has made a hell of a lot of noise.

Midnight Oil found their feet at the Royal Antler in Narrabeen. Angus & Julia Stone came out of Newport. Lime Cordiale started in a backyard shed. Ocean Alley grew from a Beaches garage. The Rions walked out of Barrenjoey High and onto festival stages.

The next great band is probably rehearsing somewhere around here right now.

The only way they get there is if we show up.
Buy a ticket. Watch the opening act. Share their music. Tell your mates. Local music only survives when local people back it.

Who’s your favourite act to come off the Northern Beaches?

Tag a local artist who’s making noise and deserves a bigger crowd. 🤙
