100 Years of The Lansdowne

Overview

The Lansdowne turns 100 this year, and it's celebrating in the only way it knows how: live and loud. The legendary Chippendale pub and band room has unveiled a month-long program of live music, DJ sets and curated takeovers as it enters its second century of loud, sweaty, unpretentious good times.

This June, the inner-city institution — whose stage has welcomed Billie Eilish, Fontaines D.C. and Lime Cordiale, among others — will welcome a stacked lineup of local talent across genres ranging from psych to punk and everything in between.

It kicks off on Wednesday, June 4, as Sydney metal troupe Battlesnake takes the stage alongside special guest acts. Throughout the month, you can also catch performances by the likes of EGOISM, Porcelain Boy, FANGZ, Straight Arrows and a heap more. Head in on Friday nights in June for the Motorik Vibe Council's The Late Show with Motorik!, a free-to-enter late-night electronic session that promises to keep things spinning until, well, very late. On the curated front, expect takeovers by Psyched As., Beat Kitchen Records and more still to be announced.

Beyond the music, The Lansdowne is dishing up one kilogram of extra-hot peri-peri wings for $10 all month long, while Inner West brewer Young Henrys is also joining the party, offering gifts to early upstairs gig-goers.
