About this event

Eighteen years in, River Rocks is back at the Barwon Club Hotel in South Geelong, and this year it's a fundraiser. The night is in honour of Peter "Stan" Christopher, a gentle giant and longtime River Rocks regular who played with The Meatbeaters and was often in the crowd as a punter. He died suddenly last year, and every dollar from the event goes to his family.

There'll be raffle packs drawn on the night, plus a donation station for anyone keen to chip in. Three more headline acts are still under wraps and will be announced in the coming weeks. The confirmed line-up includes The Meatbeaters, The Bawdies (Japan), Frenzee, Public House, Grim Rhythm, The Antics, Pussy Horse, The Stripps, Salmon Sisters, Curlers, Spooky Eyes, Geetroit Cobra and SSA.
