Crowbar Celebrates 13 Years With Week-long Parties

Australia’s iconic live music venue Crowbar is celebrating its 13th birthday in 2025, marking over a decade of blood, sweat and beers since opening in 2012. With thousands of bands through its doors and millions of pints poured, Crowbar will mark the milestone with a week-long party in both Sydney and Brisbane in December.

In Sydney, the chaos begins on Wednesday 17th December with RedHook and their genre-defying, emotionally explosive brand of rock. Thursday sees The Chats bring their full-throttle punk mayhem through the doors, followed by Montreal death metal legends Cryptopsy on Friday, hitting hard with three decades of unrelenting intensity. On Saturday, Aus music icons Spiderbait will blast through 25+ years of hits, before Sunday closes with a secret headliner still to be revealed.

Brisbane will also have a chance to get amongst it with Cryptopsy, Spiderbait and The Chats, plus The Buoys will bring their no-nonsense alt-rock to the party.
