Get ready for a classic night of pub rock, storytelling and toe-tapping tunes as Big Pete takes the stage at Kurri Kurri Bowling Club!

About Big Pete

If you’ve been out and about in Newcastle’s pubs and clubs, chances are you’ve already rocked along with Pete de Jong, better known as Big Pete.
A veteran of the local music scene, Big Pete has fronted some of the region’s most loved bands — from HEROES to Django Wrango, The Heartfelt Rodneys and The Smarts — with his unmistakable voice and guitar chops filling rooms for decades.

Now going back to basics, Pete delivers a stripped-back solo show packed with soulful acoustic takes on timeless hits, fan favourites and a few originals.
Just one man, one guitar, and an endless supply of passion and pub-rock spirit.

🎸 Creedence Clearwater Revival – Bad Moon Rising, Have You Ever Seen the Rain, Green River

🎶 Paul Kelly, Tom Petty, Cold Chisel, The Church, INXS, The Eagles, Johnny Cash, and plenty more crowd favourites
