Bar On The Hill Ring Road, Callaghan, New South Wales 2308

Welcome to Bar On The Hill, an iconic live music and performance venue located at the University of Newcastle's Callaghan Campus in Newcastle, NSW. Since the 1980s, Bar On The Hill has been a staple in the Hunter region's music scene, hosting legendary acts such as Silverchair, Grinspoon, and The Cat Empire.

By day, Bar On The Hill serves as a vibrant cafe, but as the sun sets, it transforms into a thriving bar and live music venue. Recently, we have installed a state-of-the-art speaker and lighting system, which will be celebrated during our Gin & Jams launch event. This event will feature performances by some of Newcastle's finest bands and musicians, including Saylor and the Flavour, Abbi Yeo Band, and Masters of Sunset.

But the excitement doesn't stop there. We are thrilled to announce that DMA'S, a critically acclaimed Sydney trio with nine ARIA nominations, will be headlining their biggest Australian tour yet. They will be supported by Teen Jesus & the Jean Teasers, Royel Otis, and Sitting Down. Don't miss out on this unforgettable night of music!

Another highly anticipated event at Bar On The Hill is the DRUMMER Australian Tour featuring the multi-talented G FLIP. This international star, known for her drumming, singing, songwriting, and producing skills, will be performing in August and September. Get ready to be blown away by her incredible talent.

Metalcore fans, get ready for the tour of the year. Polaris, Sydney's own powerhouse, will be embarking on their most ambitious national headline tour yet in support of their third studio album, Fatalism. They have invited some very special guests to join them on this unforgettable journey.

For those who love hard rock, we present Off the Rails, a hard-hitting music event taking place across two stops in NSW this October long weekend.
