tribute

Catastrophe Gigs are recreating the fabled Hella Mega Tour lineup, that was announced in 2020 but never made to our shores, with a legendary trifecta of nostalgic sets all combined on the one massive bill.

Kang are back at Crowbar for another round, serving up your favourite Green Day songs, with vocals sounding like they came straight from 2004 Billie Joe’s mouth and flawless renditions of Tré Cool’s relentless drum parts. The setlist covers the golden decade of Green Day from 1994’s Dookie to 2004’s American Idiot, and everything in between, with hits and fan faves alike.

Great Southern Band are going to get you absolutely Weezered, playing the best of the Blue and Pinkerton albums, with Lindsay from Frenzal Rhomb on lead guitar duties to bring you those tasty Weezer licks and solos. After seeing these guys play a phenomenal set in Wollongong this year, we knew that Sydney audiences needed to see this band live in action!

Radioactive Man have been bestowed the honour of performing emo royalty, playing the best of Fall Out Boy. We’re talking the pre-hiatus heyday era of FOB from 2003-2008 (with maybe a couple of necessary bangers from 2013’s Save Rock and Roll album).

Western Sydney punks So I Says To Mabel are opening the proceedings with their frantic and catchy punk rock originals.

Afterthought bring their catchy punk-influenced pop rock originals to the lineup, with bouncy choruses, tasty lead guitar lines and infectious melodies.

A TRIBUTE TO
PANIC! AT THE DISCO
AND NEW FOUND GLORY

We are closing out the week of Crowbar Birthday celebrations with a big dose of 2000’s Emo and Pop Punk nostalgia, hosting a tribute to Panic! At The Disco and New Found Glory in a special Free Entry show.

Ruffians are taking on Panic, with a setlist heavily favouring songs from the glorious debut album A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out. You’ll hear most of the record performed live (only cutting a few of the less iconic tracks) along with hits from Pretty Odd, Vices and Virtues, and Death Of a Bachelor. Ruffians are equipped with a horn section and phenomenal vocalist who absolutely nails the Brendon Urie sound. 

The Catastrophe Band are covering the godfathers of pop punk, New Found Glory. We tragically lost their songwriter and guitarist Chad Gilbert this year, so we wanted to pay tribute to the music that defined the genre and influenced so many other bands. They’ll be playing stacks of the big NFG songs, along with some rarer fan favourites, featuring familiar faces from past Catastrophe lineups.

Opening band TBA
