CATCH some great bands and soak up the music concert atmosphere from the comfort of your own car this August at Bulli.

Wollongong City Council, with media partners i98FM and WIN and sponsor Horizon Bank, are holding the special drive-in concert on Sunday August 2 August at Bulli Showground.

The event features indie folk band Sons of the East and is supported by an all-local line-up including Corey Legge, The Groove, and Kay Proudlove.

Wollongong Lord Mayor Gordon Bradbery said the innovative event was part of Council’s focus on supporting the music sector at a time when many professional artists are unable to work.

It also provides an opportunity for the community to come together in a safe way that meet social distancing requirements.

“There is no doubt, the past few months have been a challenging time for professional artists who’ve been unable to work and draw an income,’’ Cr Bradbery said.

“It’s also been hard for our community – so many of us are a socially connected bunch and to be isolated from family, friends and our networks has been challenging.

Tickets are priced at less than $40 per car. Tickets for the concert go on sale today (Thursday June 18), and are available via https://sons-of-the-east.eventbrite.com.au
