We welcome an all-female lineup across two epic nights, let’s meet the artists bringing the tunes for Fade into You.
Coasties Mag are proud to bring these events to you, as part of the inaugural Tubular Festival, two nights of incredible music from an all-female lineup. These events have been carefully curated to bring the best of the best of female artists, to two intimate venues. Welcoming all-ages, this is a great way to introduce your family to the live music scene here on the Central Coast.
At the first night in Avoca, kids under 12 can attend free (when accompanied by an adult) and concession tickets for peeps aged 13-18 years just $20.
We wanted to learn more about the artists coming to these events, so we’ve asked them a few questions to understand where their love of music originated from. They also each provide you with a reason why YOU should join us at the Fade into You!

What is it about being a songwriter that you find so addictive?
Songwriting allows for you to channel your subconscious into art, it’s a divine process that can turn any feeling, thought or story into a new form that can be received by others. That process and its payoff are what make songwriting so fulfilling and life giving.

The Coast has the best of all worlds – beautiful natural phenomena as well as a flourishing community of creatives. The coast has a long way to go in music, but one of its biggest strengths are the amazing creative people who are helping to build our music scene upwards.

What is it about being a songwriter that you find so addictive?
Songwriting for me is therapeutic. It’s a way for me to retell stories and connect on a deeper level. I think my head would explode if I didn’t get all of that stuff out haha. It’s more of a necessity than an addiction.

Why should people come to Fade Into You?
I’m super proud to be a part of this event. I love that it’s an all female lineup and that there’s a big focus on supporting homegrown artists. These are areas in the music industry that I wish were celebrated more! It would be really special if people came to this show to support both of those things.

When I write, it’s like I’m tapping into something otherworldly. Sometimes I don’t have any recollection of writing my songs. I think that, and the fact that is my therapy, is why it is an addictive experience for me.

What is it about being a songwriter that you find so addictive?
I find the most addictive part of songwriting is being able to write from my own experiences and share them with people in hopes that they find relatability within them. I think the most comforting thing in hardship or in an uncomfortable situation is finding relatability and knowing people are also experiencing these things alongside you, and I love that I can do that through music.
