Gossy Weekender 2026

Save the date! Gossy Weekender is back for its third year, bringing three incredible days of live music, art and culture to the heart of Gosford. From Friday 16 October to Sunday 18 October 2026, Gosford’s Entertainment Precinct will come alive with an exciting mix of national touring artists, emerging talent and the Central Coast’s best local musicians, performing across multiple venues throughout the CBD.

Whether you’re into indie, rock, folk, punk, hip hop, pop, electronic or everything in between, Gossy Weekender is all about discovering great music, supporting local venues and celebrating the incredible creative community that calls the Central Coast home. There’s something for all ages, audiences and interests!

Following two hugely successful festivals, Gossy Weekender continues to grow as one of the region’s premier music events, helping transform Gosford into a vibrant destination for live music, nightlife and culture. With Gosford now being trialled as the Central Coast’s first Special Entertainment Precinct, there’s never been a more exciting time to celebrate live music in our city.
