‘The Den’ is an event tailored to the Punk/Hardcore culture prevalent among the young people of Sydney. We aim to showcase local young bands by giving them a performance platform, exposure and an opportunity to creatively express themselves. Such events enable young people to have a community building role through the planning and implementation of the gigs. Those in the audience are able to watch live bands that they follow and hear the music that frames their sub-culture. With a lack of local all age shows in most Sydney communities the audience rallies behind the opportunity to watch live music.
In 2005-06, ‘The Den’ hosted numerous events with attendances in excess of 500 young people. ‘The Den’ varies from headline Australian acts including “Kid Courageous” and “I killed the prom queen” to weekly smaller shows at 'The Den Underground' featuring several local acts. HYS has the vision and capacity to manage large-scale festivals of over 5000 in the foreseeable future.
