DOORS 12PM // KITCHEN OPENS 12PM // SHOW STARTS 1PM Now in its third year, A Very Merry (and Jolly) CHEAP-SKATE Fundraising Bonanza has become a beloved annual celebration of local music, mateship, and giving back. In 2025, we’re looking to host the biggest Bonanza yet! a matinee day party and mini-festival at Brunswick Ballroom, rolling into a downstairs night gig to close out the evening in true CHEAP-SKATE fashion. Each year, the Bonanza supports a different charity where our contribution will truly make a difference. In 2024, we proudly raised $1,835 for RizeUp, helping families rebuild after domestic violence. For 2025, all proceeds will go to Second Chance Animal Rescue, funding life-saving work for vulnerable animals. Our Goal: To create a feel good, high energy day of live music that not only celebrates Melbourne’s thriving music scene but also makes a real, tangible difference.
