Frequently Asked Questions

What time is (insert band name) playing?

It’s hard to gain a following as a new band these days. As such, we have a policy to not give out individual set times prior to shows as we encourage patrons to come down and enjoy the entire night of acts, rather than just swan in for the headliner. Support your local scene!

Can my band play at Stay Gold?

Perhaps! We aim to have the best alternative and indie bands at Stay Gold. If you think this is you, email your intro, streaming links and socials to kit@socialstate.com.au. Do not send attachments!

Do you have a cloak room?

Unfortunately we do not offer a cloak room service.
