Two legendary Australian rock bands are uniting to say goodbye to Leichhardt Oval.
Announced today, The Angels and The Superjesus will headline a free community concert at the iconic Sydney venue as thousands gather for a final celebration before it closes for redevelopment.
The farewell event, titled ‘One Last Roar’, will take place at Leichhardt Oval on Saturday, September 19th. It will be the first major live music event ever held on the oval’s playing surface.
‘One Last Roar’ is an all-ages event, with local acts LAHGO and Good Pash set to feature alongside The Angel and The Superjesus. Family activities, food stalls, and live entertainment will also accompany the music.
There’s more: local supergroup Oz Icons, featuring rugby league legend Wayne Pearce, will take the stage, while Pro Wrestling Australia will bring their action, characters, and athleticism to a pop-up wrestling ring.
The $40 million renovation of Leichhardt Oval will begin soon after the curtain falls, with the redevelopment incorporating design elements that will ensure music and live performances are a big part of the venue’s future.
“This free concert is Council’s way of saying thanks to our community who have fought to save this iconic ground for decades,” Inner West Mayor Darcy Byrne says.
