Newcastle is gearing up for Great Southern Nights 2026 on May 1st, with a bunch of Aussie acts scattered across its usual haunts. Things kick off at 5pm with the Midtown Newcastle Gig Trail, a free-for-all music crawl hitting 11 spots like Bernies Bar, Charlies Rooftop, Granddad's Bar and The Rogue Scholar. You might stumble into Soul R n B from BOY SODA at King Street Warehouse, Hannah Joy from Middle Kids crooning at the Playhouse, or even end up belting out tunes in the Jams Karaoke Rickshaw. Grab the courtesy bus if walking sounds like too much effort, and youll catch everything from rooftop DJs to cosy acoustic gigs without breaking a sweat.

Later on, Jack River takes the King Street Bandroom stage while jazz heavyweight Lisa Simone holds court at the Newcastle Civic Theatre. Whether youre chasing ARIA big names or just poking around laneways for the next hidden gem, its a mix of coastal vibes and gritty rock that feels right at home in Newcastle. Disabled access is available, so get in touch with the operator for details.
