JAILHOUSE CONCERT SERIES 2026 featuring SAND PEBBLES

Saturday, 21 February 2026

Hypnotic. Cosmic. Kinetic. Spirtually aware. Exploding from the eye of the Universe.

Prepare for an unforgettable night of mesmerising psychedelic rock as Sand Pebbles, one of Melbourne’s most enigmatic and revered bands, take the stage at the Kew Court House for the Jailhouse Concert.

Formed in 2001 by a group of Neighbours scriptwriters, Sand Pebbles have spent the past 25 years building a legendary reputation in Melbourne’s live music scene. Known for their sprawling, twisting, and ever-evolving sound, the band continues to defy categorisation—melding hypnotic grooves, lush soundscapes, and raw creative energy into something truly unique.

Performing as a quintet, the current lineup—Chris Hollow, Ben Michael X, Andrew Tanner, Leroy Cope and Gareth Skinner—bring experience and a loyal following to the stage. With a rich catalogue of acclaimed albums, including their most recent releases The Antagonist (2024) and Pleasure Maps (2017), Sand Pebbles promise an immersive live experience for both long-time fans and new listeners alike.

Their music has graced iconic Australian TV series such as The Secret Life of Us, Last Man Standing, and Neighbours, but it’s on stage that Sand Pebbles truly shine—where their atmospheric sound and magnetic energy take full flight.

Don’t miss this rare chance to catch Sand Pebbles live in the intimate surrounds of Kew Court House.

Tickets are limited, so secure yours now and be part of a night that will linger long after the final note fades.
