River Rocks, B. Bookings and Bad Batch Zine present…RIVER ROCKS 2026
This year marks the 18th annual River Rocks and we’ll be paying tribute to a much-loved gentle giant and mate, the late Peter “Stan” Christopher. Stan and his band The Meatbeaters have been longtime supporters of River Rocks – not only performing several times but often attending as punters. Stan sadly passed away suddenly last year which was a huge shock to all that knew and loved him. So this year’s River Rocks is in honour of the big man with the softest hands and all profits from the event will go to his family. We’ll have a bunch of raffle packs that will be drawn on the night plus an additional donation station set up for any spare buck you’re willing to off load.
ONE MORE SECRET HEADLINE ACT will be announced next week. For now, we present to you this stellar line up of artists...
