A Night of Guitar-Driven Music Under the Stars – and the Launch of WA’s New Guitar Festival.
The York Festival is proud to present TWANG, a bold new live music event bringing a full evening of guitar-powered brilliance to the scenic York Racecourse on Sunday 28 September.
Framed by the sweeping views of Walwalling/Mt Bakewell, TWANG promises a laid-back, festival-style atmosphere with food trucks, bars, chill-out seating, and a dance area. Audiences can kick back or kick up their heels to an outstanding line-up of musicians, all united by a deep love of stringed instruments and expressive performance.
The 2025 TWANG line-up features:
🎤 Scarlet’s Way – Bringing their signature blend of country, blues, and Southern rock to the stage in full band mode, Scarlet’s Way delivers high-energy, full-hearted performances that have lit up some of Australia’s biggest festivals.
🎤 Nathan Gaunt & The Sunset Riders – Known for his rich, emotive voice and genre-defying songwriting, Nathan Gaunt returns to the stage with his band The Sunset Riders for a powerful set that blends blues, rock, and folk with incredible musicianship.
🎤 Lucky Oceans' New Darling Rangers bring Western Swing with a WA twist—upbeat originals and songs of the Pilbara, powered by Grammy-winning energy and local flair. Featuring Louis Rebeiro, Jon Knox-Matthews and David Milroy, this fiery new lineup delivers irresistible rhythm, humour, and heart. Western Swing, reimagined for Western Australia.
More Than a Gig – It’s a Launch
This event also marks the official launch of TWANG: The Western Australian National Guitar festival, set to roll out in full in 2026.
