This outdoor mini festival will be headlined by BIRDS OF TOKYO, with a killer supports including PIERCE BROTHERS, ECCA VANDAL, ALI BARTER and THE GOOCH PALMS, and beats provided by RED BULL DJS.
Once the sun goes down, the action moves inside to the Pier Bandroom itself. The OFFICIAL BANDROOM LAUNCH will feature an epic headline set by COG, shaking downtown Frankston with their trademark monolithic prog metal anthems. Supports to be announced.
Following the launch, THE LIVING END bring their ‘Staring Down the Highway’ tour to the Pier Bandroom on Saturday 1 April. With these massive shows, and a slate of live gigs soon to be announced, Pier Bandroom is set to become a beacon for music lovers in Melbourne’s outer suburbs.
