Red Heart Rising Returns to the Retreat Hotel, shaking things up with an all-new line-up of bands yet to have graced our stage!
Black Dime Cabaret are theatrical rock embodied, a gorgeous, genre-defying dive into a haunted, mystical world. Accompanying them are Mankind - an intense, atmospheric gothic duo, and Beat Panic - a driving postpunk/dark punk force to be reckoned with.
An free afternoon of live music at the Retreat with Anatreptix playing Rebetika.
The Groove Bandits are back again, this time fresh off the boat from a romantic hands-on art appreciation sabbatical in Paris. It turns out lucrative high-profile heists are far more cardio intensive than we'd initially assumed, so we decided the best way to get fit again is by doing a free pub show for the people.
Mack & Cook is the genre-bending collaboration between singer-songwriter Lizzie Mack and guitar-slinger Murray Cook. Together, they blend soul, country, swamp blues and roots into a uniquely heartfelt sound.
Join the Truckers for the mother of all Mother's Days as we raise coin to get Mum out of jail and back to the compound.
Arrhythmia (formed in 2022) consists of an adrenaline rushing form of rock that can pummel a chorus into your head as well as a soft and unique ballad to put you in a mood. Be on the look out for the name Arrhythmia around Melbourne.
The Human Factor lands at The Retreat Hotel headlining the night, bestowing a rough-edged blend of grunge, punk, and rock that’ll radiate through the crowd.
The Silver Bullets feature the explosive and brilliant guitar work of Mark McCartney, the groove and passion of the phenomenal upright bass player Mark Carson, the hauntingly beautiful saw and backing vocals of Charlie Barker, the wonderful powerhouse that is Matt Cotter on drums and Christiaan Webb from the Webb Brothers on piano

The Retreat Hotel would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which the venue now stands, and pay our respects to all elders past, present and emerging.
We also acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded and that our venue operates on stolen land.
