Franks Wild Years operates as a small capacity live music venue located in Thirroul. Established in 2018 by Frankie Clarke and David Weir, the venue quickly became known for hosting both established and emerging alternative artists within the Illawarra region and beyond. The space deliberately maintains an intimate atmosphere; originally operating within a converted shipping container before expanding to include a dedicated indoor space while retaining its outdoor area.
