New For Now 2025 Set Times.jpg

With just days to go until New For Now 2025 hits Bar on the Hill, set times have officially landed for the one-night-only hometown festival curated by Rum Jungle. Taking place this Saturday 13th September in Newcastle, the evening promises an electric mix of alt-rock, indie-pop and local energy—now with the full schedule in hand, fans can plan their night accordingly.

The Newcastle favourites will headline the evening in the final slot, capping off a stacked lineup that also features Sycco, Fool Nelson, Bean Magazine, Sonic Reducer, Horse and Chain Daisy. Each act brings something unique to the table, handpicked by Rum Jungle to reflect the community and creativity that’s fuelled their recent rise.

Presented in partnership with Eat Your Water, Carlton Dry and Cult Artists, the event coincides with the deluxe release of Recency Bias (New, For Now)—an expanded edition of their acclaimed debut album. The band’s 2025 run has already included a sold-out AU/NZ tour and a successful North American swing, making this return home all the more special.

Set Times Confirmed for Rum Jungle's New For Now Festival in Newcastle.

Rum Jungle are capping off a stellar year with the announcement of New, For Now — a one-night-only hometown mini-festival taking place on Saturday 13th September, 2025 at Bar On The Hill in Newcastle. Presented in partnership with Eat Your Water, Carlton Dry and Cult Artists, the special event coincides with the release of Recency Bias (New, For Now), the deluxe edition of their debut album.

The Newcastle outfit have curated the lineup themselves, showcasing a mix of rising talent and long-time friends. Joining them onstage will be Sycco, Fool Nelson, Bean Magazine, Sonic Reducer, Horse and Chain Daisy — a fitting cross-section of artists that represent Rum Jungle’s vibrant musical world. With only one night on offer, it promises to be an unmissable hometown celebration.

The festival announcement follows a whirlwind year that’s seen Rum Jungle sell out their AU/NZ tour, pack rooms across North America, and climb the ARIA charts with their heartfelt, surf-infused alt-rock. The newly expanded album features fresh tracks ‘It’s All On Your Mind’ and ‘Shopping Centres’, alongside deep cuts like ‘Traffic Jam’ — a nostalgic favourite pulled from their sharehouse days.
