Dig out the faux fur and hit the red-hot dancefloor when Cool Change hits UOW UniBar on May 9!

In partnership with Great Southern Nights, we’ve raked up a stack of indie-rock favourites for one last big send before we rug up for winter. Featuring a mix of national touring acts (and Yours & Owls Festival alumni), alongside some choice picks from the Gong’s homegrown talent, this lineup’s guaranteed to hit the spot like a Hot Toddy.
