The MixUp - Byron Open Mic by SAE Creatives

The MixUp - Byron Open Mic by SAE Creatives Byron Bay’s community-run open mic series, powered by local creatives from SAE. Two nights a month of live tunes, fresh acts, and chilled vibes.

Backed by the student and staff community from SAE Byron Bay, these open mic nights are a grassroots celebration of music and performance in the Northern Rivers. We host two nights a month at rotating local venues — showcasing emerging artists, jam sessions, and the best of Byron’s live music energy. We welcome all performers — musicians, poets, comics, wildcards. Come to play, stay to connect.

🎤

Run by students and staff, open to all.
✨ Follow us for gig updates, sign-up details, and venue announcements.
🌿 Built on passion, not profit.

🎤 Thinking of joining the Open Mic Competition? Read this first!

We’re stoked to be offering an incredible prize for this year’s open mic comp — a recording session in the legendary Neve studio at SAE Byron Bay, worth up to $3000. But before you plug in and turn up, there are a few things you’ll need to know!

📌 The session is limited to one song only
📌 It runs for half a day, so come prepared and ready to record
📌 The prize is non-transferable – it’s just for the winner (you can bring 1–2 musicians if they’re part of your act)
📌 You’ll get a rough mix on the day and a polished mix/master later on

We’ve put together a short and clear page outlining everything you need to know:
👉 Ocean Shores Tavern https://sites.google.com/sae.edu.au/openmicwinnersite/home
👉 North Byron Hotel
https://sites.google.com/sae.edu.au/open-mic-winner-site-nbh/home

Please read it carefully so there’s no confusion on the day. It’s all about making sure you get the most out of your time in the studio!

Got questions? DM us or chat to the crew at the next open mic night.
