COMING UP

THE MAES

SUNDAY 30 AUGUST

The Maes are coming back to their hometown to celebrate the first year of their highly anticipated 2025 album Abreast. Fresh back from a tour of Europe opening for Marlon Williams, The Maes are reflecting on the first year of Abreast which they released in 2025 to rave reviews, prestigious media appearances and a long string of sold-out shows. They are preparing to release two additional tracks, to expand the universe of Abreast and wrap up their biggest ever year as a band.

The Maes are outstanding live, with engaging storytelling and spine tingling harmonies. The sisters draw their audience in like your sweetest and scariest friend. With echoes of Gillian Welch and The Waifs, there is a timeless luminescence and simplicity to the songwriting and sound of Maggie and Elsie Rigby.

COMING UP

ADALITA

FRIDAY 18 SEPTEMBER

Released in 2011, Adalita’s self-titled debut marked the beginning of her remarkable solo journey. Raw, intimate, and emotionally fearless, it struck a deep chord with listeners and remains one of the most beloved and influential Australian releases of its time.

To mark its fifteenth anniversary, Adalita reunites with original collaborator JP Shilo to perform the album in full, revisiting the songs that first began this extraordinary chapter.

Coinciding with the tour, Adalita will also be reissued on vinyl through Mushroom Music, bringing a long out-of-print favourite back to fans fifteen years on.

Don’t miss these special shows.

MONTAIGNE

SATURDAY 29 AUGUST

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of their award-winning debut album Glorious Heights, Montaigne is heading out on national tour to sing, dance, laugh and cry with fans old and new! Experience the album played in full with a sprinkling of beloved tunes from other eras when they hit the road in August 2026.

Grounded as a person but elevated as a performer, Montaigne is one of those rare artists whose talent and skill on stage and off is rivalled by their ability to connect authentically with their audience, finding joy, humour, and catharsis in every performance.

Expect powerhouse vocals, theatrical movement inspired by friend and collaborator David Byrne, a strong sense of community, and a warm, inclusive space for all. It’s time to reach glorious heights!

WHAT'S ON THIS WEEK

Dine in or takeaway pizza Tuesday – Sunday

Semi-sourdough pizza made with organic ingredients and a very little amount of yeast. The magic is in the fermentation process, which takes up to 72 hours. Each pizza is then balled up and hand-stretched to order. We cook our pizza in a 500c oven with a stone floor. The effect is a thin, crisp base with a puffy, leopard-spotted crust. No bookings required.
