NSC is turning 20 and we’re throwing one helluva party!

To celebrate two decades, we’re rolling out 20 Gigs for 20 Years — a huge birthday series running through July and August, stacked with some of our all-time favourites!

As part of the birthday blowout, Cheersquad Records & Tapes is taking over Wednesday nights from July 2 to August 27 with an eight-week residency stacked with familiar faces, label favourites and local legends. CRT Wednesdays tips the hat to the artists, crews and crowds that have helped shape both Cheersquad and NSC over the years.

Grab tickets to individual shows, or snag a season pass and catch every single one. Check out the stellar lineup —

‘I Listen to the Night’ by Matt Walker & Ashley Davies is an absolute gem of a country blues album which Cheersquad had the pleasure of reissuing back in 2023. This is a very rare opportunity to see the duo in action together, this being there first show in 18 months. Don’t miss this one!

The support cast is incredibly strong too with Kim Salmon’s Smoked Salmon playing the middle slot, hot from a European tour to promote the Cheersquad/FOLC Records release of their incredible self titled LP.

The night’s opener is no slouch either, former 67 Special front man Ash Santilla bringing his new brand of dark, moody, fabulously tuneful songs to the NSC stage for the first time. His single Nightcrawler from the album of the same name is coming out June 26.

Come raise a glass and help us celebrate 20 years of great gigs and good yarns at NSC — we wouldn’t want to do it without you!

Plus, snag a ticket to one of our birthday series shows and you could win a double gig pass, pub voucher & merch!

This residency is presented by Triple R. The 20th Birthday series is supported by Oztix & Creative Victoria
