2026-06-07 12:30 - 15:30 UTC | Zestiny Farm, 138 George Downes Dr, Central Mangrove, NSW, 2250, Australia
The Biggest BBQ lesson is a once-in-a-generation event. A Guinness World Record attempt, a live music celebration, and a reimagining of Australia’s most beloved cultural ritual, all on one day at one of the Central Coast’s most beautiful organic farms.
On Sunday 7 June, electric BBQs powered by a fleet of EVs will fire up at Zestiny Farm as hundreds of participants attempt to break the world record for the largest cooking lesson. Using only ingredients grown on the farm itself, certified organic, paddock to plate, everyone will learn to cook together, raise funds for OzHarvest, and be part of something genuinely historic.
Then the music starts.
From 1.45pm, the stage belongs to a group of Central Coast musicians who’ve spent years earning their stripes. Ivona Rose and Seán van Doornum front the afternoon two songwriters who between them have six albums, an SMH Album of the Week, a career spanning Europe and New York, and a shared conviction that Australian music is inseparable from Australian culture. Behind them, Evan Mannell on drums — the same Evan Mannell who plays with Peter Garrett, Missy Higgins and Jimmy Barnes — and Matt Lamb on bass, the man who brought the OB3 together for their beloved weekly residency in Umina Beach. Together, as part of the wider OB3 Crew, they’ll take the crowd through Aussie anthems and classic songs from across the eras.
The music is free. The record is real. And the whole thing is powered by the sun.
Cooking from 12.30pm. Music from 1.45pm.

Fathom’s Guinness World Record Tour

Sydney band Fathom breaks the Guinness World Record of the most concerts in 12 hours across multiple cities, starting in Singleton, Newcastle, Gosford, Sydney, Penrith, Lithgow, Bathurst, Goulburn and Canberra.
Fathom is a dream pop duo from Sydney, who seamlessly blend synth pop and indie rock with dreamy and stream-of-conciousness lyrics. Their synth rock essence and moody songwriting is reminiscent of Beach House, Crumb, Mazzy Star and The Cranberries. After playing shows around Sydney since 2022, they made their festival debut in Deniliquin at the most recent Play on the Plains Festival, performing alongside King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizzard and Alex Lahey.
Their recent EP ‘With Good Intentions’ came out late 2025, combining pop, rock, and T S Elliot poetry, which saw much success on Australian community radio as well as support from triple j’s Ebony Jade “This song gives me the same sort of feeling as Mazzy Star does whenever she finds her way into my playlist. Such a beautiful rainy day song” on it’s second track, Paralysed.
In mid-2026, Fathom will be attempting the Guinness World Record for the Most Concerts performed in 12 Hours (multiple cities), where they will play 9 shows in 12 hours across NSW and ACT.
