📅 Thursday 28 May 🕒 7pm - 10pm 📍 Nevermind Bar, Hawthorn VIC, Australia
Guitar Hero Night is a live, social gaming event where players take turns performing songs on stage while everyone else watches, cheers, hangs out, and enjoys the night.
It’s not an esports tournament. It’s not a serious competition. It’s a chance to play a game you probably grew up with in a way that feels bigger, louder, and more fun than playing at home.
Bring a friend, pick a song, jump on guitar, and enjoy the feeling of being a rockstar for a few minutes.
Arrive anytime during the night, grab a drink, and check out the song list.
If you want to play, buy a Player Pass or Headliner Pass and add your name to the queue. When your turn comes up, you’ll pick a song and play on stage.
You can come solo, bring a friend, or just spectate for free. The night is designed to be relaxed, social, and easy to join.
Songs are chosen from the available event song list. Some songs may be limited depending on time, difficulty, or demand on the night.
Come along, watch the performances, hang out with friends, and enjoy the night.
Perfect if you want to check out the event before jumping in.

Do I need to be good at Guitar Hero?
No. You can play on a difficulty that suits you. The night is about having fun, not being perfect.
Can I just watch?
Yes. Spectator tickets are free.
Can I play more than once?
Yes. Player Pass and Headliner Pass holders can rejoin the queue as many times as they like. We’ll use fair rotation so everyone gets a chance to play.
Can I bring my own guitar?
Headliner Pass holders can bring a compatible guitar, subject to a quick check on the night. If you’re not sure whether yours will work, message Memory Cartridge before the event.
What guitars are you using?
We have two PDP Riffmaster guitars available for anyone to play.
Who is this for?
Anyone who misses Guitar Hero, old-school party games, split-screen nights, LAN party energy, or just wants something different to do at the pub.
