Battle of the Beats 2026

Battle of the Beats is a youth music competition that brings together emerging artists and showcases the musical talents of young people from Georges River. This event is brought to you by Council's Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) and 3Bridges Youth Zone.

This year's line-up is:

• Kenya

• Verräter

• The Scuts

• The Avenue

• The Suburban Skulk

The first act will start at 6:30pm and the first 200 attendees through the door will get a free pizza - beat the rush!

Join us for an evening of live music from local up-and-coming musicians from Georges River. 

Please note: There is no fixed ticketing fee - you're welcome to 'pay what you can' (minimum of $1.00).

All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to headspace Hurstville to support them to obtain resources for their monthly groups led by their Youth Reference Group.

headspace is Australia’s national youth mental health service that provides support for young people aged 12 to 25 across mental health, physical health, alcohol and other drugs, and work/study needs. headspace Hurstville delivers these supports locally by offering free and confidential services - including counselling, GP appointments, and wellbeing programs - to help young people navigate tough times and improve their overall wellbeing.

Georges River Council is grateful for the contribution from SOUNDCULT, whose sponsorship will increase the overall prize pool.
