Get down to Gerringong for the SurfLife Music Festival

Returning to the beautiful coastal town of Gerringong, SurfLife Music Festival is back for a weekend-long celebration of music, surfing, food, fun and good times on June 11-12.

After a rollercoaster couple of years, SurfLife Music Festival is bringing live music back to the home of some of the coast’s most talented artists and proving that music festivals are no longer a thing of the past.

The whisky and blues themed Friday night will see blues/gospel/folk fusion band The Blues Preachers headlining at Gerringong Town Hall, supported by The Marvellous Hearts, Wolf Whistle, Turpentine Road, Frank Sultana, Dan Overton and DJ TZF.

On Saturday night, local surf rock legends and triple j darlings, The Terrys, will be headlining supported by fellow-rockers The Rions, Swells, The Huneez, Joe Mungovan, HMO, Azza-D, Prodikal-1, Ren and The Rude Boys, The Laces and Calcite.

In addition to the two ticketed events, there will be free live music around the streets of Gerringong and a surfboard swap meet at Werri Beach Reserve throughout Saturday.

“With everything that’s happened over the last couple of years, we’re over the moon to be able to bring SurfLife Music Festival back,” says festival director Adam Loxley. 
“Despite the restrictions still in place, we’re so grateful to be able to present this year’s festival and give local bands a chance to perform and earn some money, as well as giving businesses a boost.

“With Yours & Owls recently hosting one of the country’s only live music festivals since the pandemic in Wollongong, we’re hoping this is a turning point for the live music industry and that festivals will no longer be a thing of the distant memory.”

SurfLife Music Festival is a proud supporter of the local community with a line-up of at least 50 per cent local artists, using local products and suppliers wherever possible, and employing locals to work at the event. The festival brings over 2000 visitors to the town each year and provides a big boost for tourism in the traditionally slower winter period.
