Beer Garden / Free Show

After a busy 6 months of writing, travelling and attempting to survive uni and year 12, Naarm based band The Violet Summers are kicking things off for a massive second half of 2026.

Made up of Aboriginal siblings Kiah, Sunmer and Emmanuel are playing this National Reconciliation week show in their favourite beer garden at their favourite pub, previewing all the songs on our forthcoming EP.

This free entry, Saturday arvo gig is going to be deadly!

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