SUNSET SWEATSHOP
18 December 2024

With their biggest hit, Coming Along, taking over party playlists in the summer months, no one’s sound evokes the feeling of beachy days in December quite like Sunset Sweatshop.

Their rise to prominence has been as fast and catchy as their reggae-rock feel, a truly unique blend and sound that is sure to get you up on your feet and dancing the afternoon away!

What’s more? There’s a boerie roll waiting for you at the end of it all. (Included in your ticket.)
