Crank It Up Batemans Bay Festival

Batemans Bay Foreshore

Crank It Up Batemans Bay is a three day rock and roll and rockabilly festival set on the banks of the Clyde River on the NSW South Coast. The event brings together live music, classic cars, dance and vintage culture in a setting where coastal scenery meets a raw rockabilly spirit. It is a celebration grounded in rhythm and blues, country and early rock and roll. A curated line up of Australian and international artists delivers a mix of jump swing, rockabilly and blues across multiple stages. The sound carries through the foreshore as the streets fill with movement, music and community energy. Classic and custom cars cruise through town and line the waterfront, while show and shine displays, markets and interactive experiences add to the atmosphere. Visitors can move easily between music, food, shopping and local venues. Crank It Up Batemans Bay is known for its authenticity and strong sense of community. It offers a relaxed coastal experience with depth, character and a sound that stays with you long after the weekend ends.
