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 —

Phil Jamieson is the front man for Grinspoon, one of this country’s largest live acts and Cheersquad had the pleasure of releasing his mighty fine solo debut album Somebody Else back in 2022. Phil is excited to bring his band of merry musos to the NSC for their 20th birthday party with the amazing Al Matcott’s Forever Band as special guests.

Al’s album Summer’s Coming was an outright classic with the follow up due later in 2025. The first single from said follow up LP is out June 27 via Cheersquad Records & Tapes.

Opening proceedings are local power pop legends Lava Fangs whose album Sub Auroram is a fuzz-filled poptastic garage stomper.

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
