To help re-establish local live music events, Lake Macquarie Council have launched the Live Music Lake Mac series.
Taking place at Rathmines and Warners Bay Theatres until March 2021, the series aims to give us locals the chance to catch some of our favourite local acts and touring musicians from across NSW.
Each event will be COVID Safe and, socially distanced, with onsite bars serving beverages, snacks and light refreshments.
