Winter in Byron doesn’t arrive quietly — it rolls in with guitars, cold air and something brewing just beneath the surface. On Saturday 20 June, Festival of the Stone returns to the Stone & Wood Brewery, marking its twelfth year with a lineup that leans hard into Australia’s indie and rock pulse.
At the top of the bill, Pacific Avenue arrive riding the afterglow of their ARIA-topping debut and a second album already in motion, their sunlit rock built for open air and late-night singalongs. Alongside them, Ruby Fields brings her sharp-edged storytelling and unfiltered delivery — the kind of voice that cuts through the noise without needing to raise it.
Sydney’s Dear Seattle continue their upward trajectory following TOY, a record that trades in soaring hooks and introspective weight, while Eliza & The Delusionals bring a more expansive, dreamlike edge — guitar-driven but never confined by it.
Then there’s Liquid Zoo, injecting a dose of chaos into the mix. Fast, loud and wired for movement, they arrive with the kind of live reputation that doesn’t just fill a room — it detonates it.
Twelve years in, Festival of the Stone isn’t chasing scale — it’s refining identity. Same bones, sharper edges, and a lineup that understands exactly what this kind of gathering is meant to feel like.
