YOUR SEPTEMBER GIG GUIDE
SPRING TIME! Ok, now that we’ve got your attention, hello everyone! Welcome to September, to Spring and to gig guide number 9 of 2025. Here at wanderer, we have weathered the cold months in the studio with our fingerless gloves and our instant coffees. We have been very brave and strong but we are ready for a change. We are ready for warmer temperatures, for brighter mornings and longer days, and to finally get back in the ocean.
To kick off the sunny months ahead, here’s a huge list, hot off the press, of gigs and events that you can spend your time. Like August just passed, we have done the hard work early with our Mini Zine guide. Showcasing all of the best shows, events and exhibitions around Dharawal Wollongong in September, these zines will be circulating the area this month so keep an eye out! Here’s a sneak peak…
This minizine also has an interview with Q of Van Q where we discuss her colourful vintage shop, the DIY shows she hosts and what she thinks of the emo music coming out of our scene. She does a great deal for young creatives in Wollongong and for the whole Aus music scene and deserves some praise! Have a read here if you’re interested…
This list below, however, is twice as long and twice as epic as the zine gig guide as it’s also got heaps of September gigs in Eora Sydney venues too! Lots of your favourite artists and some incredible new acts to discover playing shows in the area (special shout out to Juno Eclipse, Should Be Sweet and Siphon who all recently released some great music), so get out and get amongst it!
Okay, that’s all... Thanks! Lewis
