Out of the garage and on to the main stage!
Garageband Tarntanya is where raw talent meets the big stage. This all-ages, free concert is your chance to catch the next wave of artists before they blow up.
With 15 bands across three stages, and over 50 young creatives involved behind the scenes, it’s more than just a concert — it’s a full-blown celebration of youth culture, local talent, and creative energy.
Think part block party, part live gig — with a lineup packed with emerging acts that bring the sound of tomorrow, today. Whether you're into indie, punk, hip hop or pop, there’s something for every ear.
Come along, bring your mates, grab a feed, and soak up the vibes. It’s time to back the bands who are just getting started — and be part of something real.
Full lineup dropping soon - stay tuned!
