Festival of the Stone returns for a winter gathering of live music and limited-edition brews
Warm up this winter at the family-friendly and community-driven Festival of the Stone, as it returns in 2026 for another day of beats, beer and feel-good fundraising. On Saturday June 20, Stone & Wood Brewing Company will host the 12th instalment of its annual live-music festival in support of this year’s chosen charity, Fletcher Street Cottage, providing essential services to Byron Bay’s rough sleepers. The festival will also feature live music from Australian favourites and the annual unveiling of this year’s exclusive beer batch. Here’s what we know …
The 12th edition of the much-loved Festival of the Stone is shaping up to be one of its best yet, headlined by south coast rockers Pacific Avenue, alongside a line-up that includes Pacific Avenue, Ruby Fields, Eliza & The Delusionals and more. This year, South Coast rockers Pacific Avenue will headline Festival of the Stone, bringing its blend of sun-soaked ballads and classic rock to the Stone & Wood stage alongside indie-rock storyteller Ruby Fields with her punk-edged sound. They will be joined by Sydney-based riffers Dear Seattle, dreamy indie-pop band Eliza & The Delusionals and the electrically chaotic five-piece Liquid Zoo.
Held at the Stone & Wood Brewery in Byron Bay, the celebration will also welcome the anticipated release of its 2026 batch of Stone Beer, a rich, limited-edition winter brew that has been crafted using heated stones in homage to the traditional methods.
