The Bergy Bandroom is kicking off 2026 with an unstoppable barrage of shows.
The iconic Brunswick venue is the place to be this summer, and not just because of its laidback vibe, sprawling beer garden and vast selection of drinks (although those don’t hurt either). The Bergy’s taking no breaks this summer, going from strength to strength with a banging lineup that’s keeping the silly season going as long as you’d like.
From DJs to experimental drummers, from raw punk to vulnerable pop, from hardcore to indie heavyweights, every night’s a new adventure. Here’s what’s on the menu this month.
