"We’ve all been looking forward to this for so long."

Wollongong duo Hockey Dad have been forced to cancel their NSW drive-in gigs this weekend due to issues with the venue.

In a video shared to Facebook, the band showed flooding at Bulli Showground, which has stopped them from setting up the stage and preparing the grounds for attendees.

“We are absolutely gutted... so sorry to everyone who bought tickets... we’ve all been looking forward to this for so long and it's real upsetting,” Hockey Dad said.

Originally set to take place this Friday and Saturday night, the drive-in shows will now happen on October 9 & 10.


Hockey Dad’s new album, Brain Candy, drops this Friday and to celebrate they announced their own breakfast cereal last week, which will be delivered to select fans who pre-order their breakfast bundle.
