If you’re chasing some quality tunes and good vibes in Bundy this weekend, you’re in luck — because the live music scene is going off like a frog in a sock. From acoustic serenades to full-blown pub rockers, there’s something to keep every toe tapping and every drink cold.

The festivities kick off Friday afternoon with Aaron Westlake warming things up at Sugarland Tavern, and by 5:30pm, things really start to cook with 2EZ at Apple Tree Creek Hotel, Abigail Williams at Bargara Berries, and Matthew Farthing pouring out the tunes at Ballistic Brewing. Drift and Wood Café goes a little mad with Maurie, and Mick Douglas brings his unmistakable voice to Sandhills Sports Club. Meanwhile, The Other Bloke will be belting out crowd-pleasers at Tattersals Hotel, and the always-legendary Rooster will be rocking the Federal Hotel in Childers. For a serious Friday night treat, 8 Ball Aitken & Taya take over Oodies Café while the Phil & Chris Coad duo harmonise the night away at the Isis Club. Finish off the night with Mick Douglas at Sugarland Tavern or Jaida Champney making waves at Agnes Water Tavern.

Saturday doesn’t let up, with Deep Blue kicking off your morning at River Cruz Café and Ryan Giles setting the tone at Bucca Hotel from midday. If you’re feeling jazzy by the afternoon, catch Jaida Champney at Codies Place before heading to the Globe Hotel for a 5pm set from Mix Tape. As the sun sets, things ramp up: Jay Furnish gets the Ballistic crowd going, Aaron Westlake returns to Childers, and Miss Lee holds court at Ricks at Bargara. Keely Ellen, Frank Benn, Sonic Playground and Blck Snow Band are just some of the names lighting up the pubs and clubs into the night. Whether it’s a cozy vibe at Oodies or a full-band throwdown at the Sugarland Tavern with Andy McLucas, Saturday night in Bundy has got your musical cravings covered.

By Sunday, it’s time to mellow out — but not too much. Deep Blue returns to River Cruz Café, and Abigail Williams delivers a Sunday session to remember at Sugarland Tavern. Bre Ferguson brings her soulful style to Bucca Hotel, Miss Lee will keep the energy going at the Lighthouse, and The Other Bloke wraps up a big weekend at The Waves Sports Club. Meanwhile, Drift and Wood Café will host Sonita for the sundown crowd, and Neil Wenck will ease you into the working week at Sandhills Sports Club.

Whether you’re bar-hopping, pub-lounging, or dance-floor dominating, Bundy’s local talent is on full display. Support your favourite artists, discover new ones, and most importantly — have a ripper of a weekend.
