Brewing champions, Young Henrys, are hitting the Northern Beaches this November with best mates Volcom Australia to bring back the infamous RIP IN Weekender at Manly’s Hotel Steyne. From Friday, November 1 to Saturday, November 2, the two-day party will feature Volcom Australia’s Pro Skate Team tearing it up on the in-venue half pipe, a pop-up tattoo parlour, plenty of beer specials and DJs sets from Dune Rats, The Buoys, Haiku Hands, Fangz, Crocodylus and DOWNGIRL. Get a taste of the RIP IN Weekender vibes by checking out last year’s wrap-up video HERE.

Headlining Friday on the DJ decks are Australia’s adrenaline-fueled main stage players, Haiku Hands. After bringing the beat worldwide with their 2023 record Pleasure Beast and having shared the stage with Kendrick Lamar and Lizzo at New York’s Governors Ball, jam along to the fury unleashed by Australia’s most exciting dance-pop trio.

Fresh off a national tour with The Bennies and Cancer Bats, Sydney-based punk rock quintet FANGZ will bring their high-octane energy to the decks, delivering a DJ set that promises to ignite Hotel Steyne with the same ferocity as their live shows. And opening the show is the fiery four-piece femme-punk soul band DOWNGIRL DJs, Eora’s keen and proud rockers known for sharing their love of “making loud noises” and easily pumping up the dancefloor.

Shaking things up on Saturday are the rough-around-the-edges, indie alt-punk legends, Dune Rats DJs. With a discography packed with anthems like “Scott Green” and “No Plans” they’ve distilled their rebellious spirit into the mind-melting album If It Sucks, Turn It Up. Expect a rollercoaster of good times, raw truths, 90’s nostalgia and fuzzed-out pop, delivering a sizzling DJ set that’s sure to hit home.

“We’ve got some A-class beer drinking bangers ready to drop! We don’t get to DJ that often so expect 900 beers to be drunk during our set + Brett is gonna attempt a 1080 on the half pipe!” – Danny Beusaraus – Dune Rats

Joining Dune Rats are high octane band, The Buoys, who carved out their name in the scene with “I Want You” and “Settle Petal”, promise to deliver a rousing DJ set. Catch the band as they hit the decks and deliver a party-fuelled set, riding the momentum of their powerful album Lustre and sold out Sydney show last month. Also on the bill are Northern Beaches locals and crocodile rockers, Crocodylus. They’ll be warming up the decks with their distinct brand of surf rock, highlighted by singles “My Baby”and “Sweaty Already”.

There will also be an epic DJ battle between pro skaters and surfers, and a lineup of guest pro skaters from Volcom Australia’s Skate Team, including Rob Pace, Rome Collyer and Olympic skater LivLovelace. If that’s not enough to tempt you, enjoy Young Henrys beer specials all weekend, plus a special tattoo pop-up to add some extra flair.

“Is there a better way to kick off summer in Manly? RIP IN Weekender is my favourite cocktail of music, skating & arts, it’s gonna to rip the roof off!” – Shane Azar – Managing Director, Liberated Brands (Volcom)
