DIY on High

Next date: Saturday, 05 September 2026 | 01:00 PM to 11:00 PM

Presented by Cafe Gummo and Cactus Room as part of Darebin FUSE Festival

DIY On High is a free multi-venue day festival on High Street, Thornbury, presented across Cafe Gummo and Cactus Room, two DIY live music spaces connected by a short two/three minute walk. The program is split into an afternoon show at Cactus Room followed by an evening show at Cafe Gummo, featuring a lineup of emerging Naarm artists across both sessions.

The event highlights local independent music in intimate settings, offering two distinct shows that together form a full day of diverse punk live performances, community and discovery within the DIY scene.
