The event brings together live music, classic cars, dance and vintage culture in a setting where coastal scenery meets a raw rockabilly spirit. It is a celebration grounded in rhythm and blues, country and early rock and roll.
A curated line up of Australian and international artists delivers a mix of jump swing, rockabilly and blues across multiple stages. The sound carries through the foreshore as the streets fill with movement, music and community energy.
