THE BIG GIG — LIVE & LOUD EVERY FRIDAY

Sponsored by Coopers Brewing

Your Friday nights = sorted. We're bringing the noise with epic live music every week at Australian Hotel Ballina. From homegrown legends to wildcards from beyond, The Big Gig is all about good tunes, great mates, and kicking off the weekend right.

This Week's Lineup

🗓️ Friday 9 October

🎶 Live on stage: HENRY WEST + GUESTS

💥 Free Entry

Get in early — tunes start from 9PM and the good vibes roll all night long.

Henry West is a Byron Shire singer-songwriter with a sound that's all his own. Blending soul, jazz and neo-soul, he builds his music live on stage, layering vocals and instruments through a loop pedal until one voice becomes a whole band.

The result is warm, smooth and effortlessly cool - the kind of set that turns a quiet afternoon into something special. Expect rich grooves, honest songwriting and a laid-back energy made for a drink in hand and good company.

Catch Henry West live at The Australian Hotel Ballina.

👋 Welcome To The Australian

We’re the pub where Ballina comes to play. Cold beers, live tunes, and proper good food — all served with a side of cheeky charm. Whether you’ve just rolled in from the beach or you’re kicking on ‘til late, there’s always a spot for you here.

Locally loved. Community proud. Never boring. Big tunes, big energy, and always a bloody good time.

This is The Big Gig. This is The Aussie. See you at the bar.
