places like Stay Gold don\u2019t just host gigs. They <em>build scenes<\/em>. They\u2019re where bands cut their teeth, where communities form, where something small starts turning into something real. Lose too many of those, and the whole ecosystem starts to wobble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before it all wraps up, Stay Gold will host a final run of shows leading into June, culminating in a closing event titled \u201cStay Gold: To The End\u201d on June 20, headlined by scene stalwarts <a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/feeds\/ocean-grove\/\">Ocean Grove<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/feeds\/future-static\/\">Future Static<\/a> and more acts TBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So ifyou\u2019ve ever sweated it out in that room, discovered a new favourite band
