​Celebrating the distinctive culture of the inner west.



OFF THE RAILS

​

After a decade of dominance, the team who gave us Bad Friday present their latest offering to Sydney’s live music scene - Off The Rails. Taking place on 1 October, it boasts a bold lineup traversing punk, garage and hardcore; led by ferocious pub rockers Amyl and the Sniffers and underground legends The Mark of Cain, plus a slew of scene stalwarts and rising standouts including Private Function, RVG, Shady Nasty, Dust, Southeast Desert Metal, DOWNGIRL, The Neptune Power Federation, Chimers, Organs, Itchy & The Knits with more to be announced. Off The Rails will grace both Marrickville Block Weekender and the Bar On the Hill Forecourt in Newcastle in its inaugural year.



HEAPS GAY


Turning 10 this year, Heaps Gay has become an institution of Sydney’s queer scene and will mark their 10th birthday with three parties this Spring. The first, HEAPS GAY STREET PARTY - 10TH BIRTHDAY presented by Heaps Normal - as part of Marrickville Block Weekender on 30 September, builds on the success of their famed Roadwerk events, dancing day-to-night with a house, pop and nu-disco soundtrack. Across two stages, expect the impeccable party vibes that queers and allies alike have come to know and love - from BIG WETT to Billy Davis and Tseba each joined by some special friends, Stereogamous, Dameeeela, MungMung and many more - with a sprinkling of drag and colourful roaming performers for good measure.



FULL THROTTLE

​

The long-awaited return of Throttle Roll will finally arrive on 2 October, with custom bikes, live bands and booze; bringing together the fun and frivolity of Australian motorcycling culture. This isn’t your typical motorcycle event, though; while some of the country’s wildest motorcycle builds will be on display, Throttle Roll has built a reputation since its first event in 2013 to celebrate the lively culture of this creative community. Think rock and roll, swinging hips and singing lips. Headline bands including Papa Pilko and the Binrats, XOLO and more. Close out the long weekend surrounded by good vibes and rock and roll, all while revelling in the fun-loving culture of custom motorcycles.
