The Coffs Hotel has announced the commencement of major renovations to its Bistro, Auditorium, and Beer Garden, marking the start of an extensive transformation aimed at elevating the venue’s role in the local live music scene. The revitalised spaces will create a dynamic environment that both facilitates live music and supports local artists.

Upon completion, The Coffs Hotel will feature four distinct areas for live music, including the Front Bar, the established live music venue Backroom, and the newly renovated Beer Garden and Auditorium.

The Beer Garden, a familiar spot for live music, will be upgraded with the addition of a kids’ playground, making it an ideal location for family-friendly afternoons with live music providing entertainment.

The Auditorium’s renovations will reintroduce live performances, enhanced by state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, offering an unparalleled experience for both artists and audiences. With these new and upgraded spaces, The Coffs Hotel will provide an unmatched music experience for Coffs Harbour’s music lovers.

Luke Van-Dan-boom, General Manager at The Coffs Hotel, shares, “We are truly excited to share the renovations with the local community. There is a thirst in Coffs Harbour for live music, and we are committed to quenching it.”

To celebrate the completion of the first spaces in the Coffs Hotel’s renovation plan, they will be hosting a month-long festival, Fresh Fest, introducing patrons to the venue’s ‘Fresh Look’ while showcasing the best of local live music. The festival will feature performances by local favourites and headlining acts like Bootleg Rascals, as well as live music events produced by Broken Open Productions, including ‘Tubewarmers’ and ‘Japanese Rock.’

The Coffs Hotel is offering a complimentary ‘Fresh Express Pass’, which includes express entry and a welcome drink to one of the festival’s events. To secure your spot, register now via the link below and pick up your pass on-site.
