Supporting the Live Music Industry
We host all kinds of gigs here at The Bowl, including acoustic, live bands, and DJ’s. We believe music should be accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities and under 18 years old.
One of our main goals we are passionate about is allowing original artist to showcase their musical skills and give them a door into the music scene. To do this we host regular jams nights, open mics, and provide performance opportunities on The Terrace. We help artists to grow their following through promotions on our website and social media.
We have curated the best artists from local and touring circuits. It’s time to rock out to amazing cover bands like Gotcha Covered, listen to classic Aussie Rock/Blues with The Bounty Hunters Band, and jam to Rhys Callinans mix of genres that is sure to make any night special.
If you’re a new artist, and want to be involved, we’d love to hear from you, so don’t hesitate to reach out. Jules😁
