Since launching ten years ago, Riot FM has played a key role in supporting emerging artists and grassroots music across Port Stephens and the Hunter region.

The anniversary event reflects the station’s longstanding commitment to accessibility, inclusion, and local music culture.

“We built Riot FM from the garage up, and 10 years on and we’re still cheeky, and packed with energy,” said Riot FM Events and Promotions Coordinator Rohan Brown.

The event is free to attend, with donations accepted on the day.

All proceeds will go toward supporting the artists involved in the lineup.

Following the daytime event, an official afterparty will take place from 7pm at Anna Bay Tavern, providing an opportunity for attendees, artists, and community members to continue the celebrations into the evening.

The afterparty will be held in the tavern’s beer garden, offering a casual and welcoming environment.

Patrons are welcome to attend without booking, however groups planning to dine are encouraged to reserve tables with the bistro in advance.

Bookings can be made by contacting Anna Bay Tavern on 4982 1711.

The event will take place at Robinson Reserve on Saturday 28 February from 1pm to 6pm.

Entry is free, with optional donations supporting participating artists.
