Overview

You probably recall when Peking Duk caused a major stir by hosting a rave at Bunnings. Now the hardware retailer is getting back into the gig game, this time collaborating with Beyond the Valley on a free pre-festival party held from 7.30pm on Saturday, November 22.

Featuring headline festival acts Mallrat and DJ Cooper Smith, the timber yard of Bunnings Port Melbourne will be transformed into a live music venue, offering an alcohol-free chance to get caught up in the tunes.

Yet there's more to this gig than just viral marketing. Instead, it's a celebration of Melbourne's music community, with proceeds from the sausage sizzle (of course) going towards Support Act — a leading charity guided by the music industry, for the music industry.

This pop-up gig also gives music fans the chance to win a luxurious camping experience at BTV. While most will simply score tickets to the sold-out festival, two winners will arrive to an extra bougie campsite ready to level up their New Year's fun. Tickets are available on the Bunnings website and the artist's social channels from 12pm on Wednesday, November 19.
