🎶 Live on stage: Sunday Lemonade

💥 Free Entry

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

Named the ‘People’s Choice’ at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, infectious indie duo Sunday Lemonade have created a serious fizz amongst crowds across Australia. With a splash of heartfelt folk, a dash of powerful rock and a generous squeeze of riff-driven roots, the pair are the refreshing rom-com soundtrack you didn’t know you needed.

Hailing from the Sapphire Coast of NSW — though proudly embracing life as enthusiastic van lifers — Tyson & Loz, affectionately known as ‘The Lemons’, have been relentless in their pursuit of music. Their momentum began building after taking out the Emerging Artist award at the Nannup Music Festival, a title that marked the start of their rise through Australia’s live music scene.

Since then, Sunday Lemonade have shared stages with an impressive list of acts including The Rubens, Sons of the East, Caravana Sun, 19 Twenty and Thirsty Merc. Their versatility and undeniable crowd connection have also seen them light up festivals such as Wanderer Festival, Music in the Park (Tones & I), and Blues at Bridgetown — proving their thirst-quenching effect across genres and audiences alike.

With 11 singles released since 2021, the duo have garnered strong support from community radio nationwide, charted on the AMRAP charts, and earned rotation across major stations including Triple M Country and ABC. Their sound — equal parts heartfelt storytelling and high-energy charm — continues to resonate with listeners who crave authenticity wrapped in an irresistible hook.

If you’re in need of a sugary, sweet pick-me-up, Sunday Lemonade are best served live. Catch a show, raise a glass, and prepare to be refreshed.
