Live music in Coffs Harbour

Nestled where the Macleay River meets the Pacific, this Mid North Coast hub has always been a natural gathering place. The region's mix of holiday makers, locals, and touring musicians creates a year-round appetite for live music that spans from intimate pub gigs to festival-sized events. The geographic sweet spot—far enough north to catch Brisbane acts, close enough to Sydney to pull serious touring talent—means the town punches above its weight when it comes to quality live performances.

The local pub culture runs deep here, and live music is woven into weekend plans as much as the beach itself. You'll find everything from folk and indie to blues and cover bands playing regular slots around town. The summer season brings a particular buzz, with visitors and locals alike looking for live entertainment to round out their holidays.

Head to what's on this week to see who's playing where around Coffs—there's always something worth catching.
