Located on the Central Coast’s Wamberal Surf Life Saving Club, the Ocean View has upgraded their venue capacity to accommodate more than 500 guests.

Having opened in 2021 on the cusp of one of COVID-19’s many peaks, the Ocean View has been a beloved venue for punters on the coast, hosting shows for country musician Brad Cox, Newcastle boys Rum Jungle, and even OG punk rockers Frenzal Rhomb over the years. 

Outerlands Representative Sky said in a statement they hope the capacity raise will “add yet another dimension” to the live music atmosphere at the Ocean View, and welcome “another caliber of artist” into the space.

The venue has been a pivotal pillar in the hardcore scene on the Central Coast, opening their doors to DIY artists and bands who sit at various stages in their career journeys. With the scene growing, and the demand for more live venues across the state constantly on the minds of those who enjoy live music, Ocean View have now made the decision to up their capacity from 350 to 500+ guests. 

The venue will continue to host 4 rooms, each spanning from as little as 60 guests to the capacity of 500+ in some other rooms.
