What a night on the Coast πΆπ₯
Our 14th Rock At The Races lit up the Entertainment Grounds Gosford on the weekend, welcoming more than 2,500 patrons for an unforgettable evening of live music.
An incredible lineup took the stage, featuring The Angels, Dragon, Ross Wilson, Mi-Sex, Mark Gable (Choirboys), The Chantoozies, V Spy V Spy, X-Mentals, Taxiride feat. Jason Singh, Matt Finish, and The Big Music Bandits – delivering an electric atmosphere from start to finish.
But events like this are about more than just great music, theyβre about real impact. From fully booked local accommodation to the creation of nearly 100 casual roles, and strong support for local vendors and businesses, the benefits flowed right across the Central Coast community.
One of the key strengths of our venue is its flexibility, hosting up to 3,200 patrons with minimal temporary infrastructure, while also holding approval for events of up to 10,000. With an exciting tour already in the pipeline, 2026 is shaping up to be a huge year.
A huge thank you to our presenters Triple M and Empire Touring, all of our incredible artists, food vendors, crew, partners, and our dedicated team behind the scenes for delivering such an outstanding event.
And to everyone who came along – thank you for being part of it! π
