Brewing champions, Young Henrys, are hitting the Northern Beaches this November with best mates Volcom Australia to bring back the infamous RIP IN Weekender at Manly’s Hotel Steyne. From Friday, November 1 to Saturday, November 2, the two-day party will feature Volcom Australia’s Pro Skate Team tearing it up on the in-venue half pipe, a pop-up tattoo parlour, plenty of beer specials and DJs sets from Dune Rats, The Buoys, Haiku Hands, Fangz, Crocodylus and DOWNGIRL. Get a taste of the RIP IN Weekender vibes by checking out last year’s wrap-up video HERE.

Headlining Friday on the DJ decks are Australia’s adrenaline-fueled main stage players, Haiku Hands. After bringing the beat worldwide with their 2023 record Pleasure Beast and having shared the stage with Kendrick Lamar and Lizzo at New York’s Governors Ball, jam along to the fury unleashed by Australia’s most exciting dance-pop trio.

Fresh off a national tour with The Bennies and Cancer Bats, Sydney-based punk rock quintet FANGZ will bring their high-octane energy to the decks, delivering a DJ set that promises to ignite Hotel Steyne with the same ferocity as their live shows. And opening the show is the fiery four-piece femme-punk soul band DOWNGIRL DJs, Eora’s keen and proud rockers known for sharing their love of “making loud noises” and easily pumping up the dancefloor.

Shaking things up on Saturday are the rough-around-the-edges, indie alt-punk legends, Dune Rats DJs. With a discography packed with anthems like “Scott Green” and “No Plans” they’ve distilled their rebellious spirit into the mind-melting album If It Sucks, Turn It Up. Expect a rollercoaster of good times, raw truths, 90’s nostalgia and fuzzed-out pop, delivering a sizzling DJ set that’s sure to hit home.

“We’ve got some A-class beer drinking bangers ready to drop! We don’t get to DJ that often so expect 900 beers to be drunk during our set + Brett is gonna attempt a 1080 on the half pipe!”
Danny Beusaraus – Dune Rats

Joining Dune Rats are high octane band, The Buoys, who carved out their name in the scene with “I Want You” and “Settle Petal”, promise to deliver a rousing DJ set. Catch the band as they hit the decks and deliver a party-fuelled set, riding the momentum of their powerful album Lustre and sold out Sydney show last month. Also on the bill are Northern Beaches locals and crocodile rockers, Crocodylus. They’ll be warming up the decks with their distinct brand of surf rock, highlighted by singles “My Baby” and “Sweaty Already”.

There will also be an epic DJ battle between pro skaters and surfers, and a lineup of guest pro skaters from Volcom Australia’s Skate Team, including Rob Pace, Rome Collyer and Olympic skater Liv Lovelace. If that’s not enough to tempt you, enjoy Young Henrys beer specials all weekend, plus a special tattoo pop-up to add some extra flair.

“Is there a better way to kick off summer in Manly? RIP IN Weekender is my favourite cocktail of music, skating & arts, it’s gonna to rip the roof off!”
Shane Azar – Managing Director, Liberated Brands (Volcom)

“Looks like RIP IN Weekender is going to be the most epic thing happening in Sydney this November! Beer lovers, skaters, bands and tattooists are taking over the Steyne Hotel for another weekend of fun, sun, skating and good ol’ fashioned malarky. YH are stoked to be partnering with our long time friends and collaborators Volcom, curating an epic lineup in the beautiful surrounds of the hallowed Steyne beer garden.”
Oscar Mcmahon – Young Henrys

A testament to their history of celebrating culture, arts and live music over the years accompanied by a well deserved frothie, Young Henrys’ RIP IN Weekender is set to turn the Hotel Steyne on its head this November. For your chance to witness some of Australia’s most exciting local artists at one of the Northern Beaches most iconic venues, RSVP here to secure your spot at Young Henrys’ weekend-long festivities.

DUNE RATS + FIDLAR AUSTRALIAN TOUR

IT’S ON!

DUNE RATS & FIDLAR

TEAM UP FOR A TRANSPACIFIC MATEFEST AUSTRALIAN TOUR – AUGUST / SEPTEMBER

Presented by triple j

Fan Presale from 9am (local) on Thursday 20 June

General Public on sale from 9am (local) Friday 21 June

While playing the UK together last year, DUNE RATS and FIDLAR found themselves sitting backstage drinking warm ales, talking about releasing their new albums (more on that below), and how much they wanted to keep the party rolling! Thankfully for Aussie fans, those chats have become a reality!

“The FIDLAR / DUNIES relationship has honestly been a touring brotherhood that has seen us ping pong all over the world. It’s been the best part of a decade playing shows together that started when they first came to Australia doing venues half the size of the ones we are playing on this tour. Showing them the Aussie diet of beer and BBQ’s plus a bit of surfing and partying meant that when we wanted to tour the US, they bundled us into a van and spent 3 months seeing the States – from Gator Back scratchers in Florida to the bright lights of New York City. We went to the UK last year to play shows together and that’s where this tour came to fruition. Can’t wait to show them how crazy it is to play in Australia this time round, will definitely fit a few snags in too” – DUNE RATS

“The Dunies are like your favorite cousin that you only get to see every couple of years. You’ve known them forever, you like them more than some of your other cousins, you crack each other up, get into trouble, have a few heart to hearts even….when we get together…it’s like a psycho little family reunion!!! Truly kindred Ledge Lords!”FIDLAR

So, fire up Australia! Brace yourself for the ultimate transpacific matefest hitting our golden shores this August and September. DUNE RATS and FIDLAR are teaming up once again for a tour that promises to be nothing short of epic! This time around the venues will be bigger, the crowds will be wilder, and the vibes will no doubt be off the hook!

Tickets will be in hot demand, so fans are urged to register at dunerats.tv for pre-sale access. The fan pre-sale will commence at 9am local time on Thursday 20th June with general onsale 9am local time on Friday 21st June.

While you’re at it, pre-order a copy of Dunies upcoming 5th album ‘If It Sucks, Turn It Up’, the band’s most adventurous musical statement yet. It finds them evolving their sound and honing their melodic instincts across a diverse range of styles, all delivered with the energy and infectious humour that is unmistakably Dunies. The album features the singles ‘Be Like You’, ‘Solar Eyes’ and current tune – ‘Cheapskate’.

And you’d be mad not to pre-save the new FIDLARalbum ‘SURVIVING THE DREAM’ which will release on September 20th!
