NONGKRONG 2026: Soda Gembira Eora (Sydney)

For the first time, and one night only, Nongkrong’s club night, Soda Gembira, is throwing it down at the beloved Red Rattler Theatre this August for its Eora/Sydney takeover. A nod to the classic Indonesian pink drink, we’re serving the same fizzy, equal parts playful and a little nakal energy to the dance floor – a love letter to self-expression and the ass-shaking club angels. With dancers and DJs taking over, expect a journey through Indonesia’s underrepresented club sounds from dangdut, koplo, funkot, jedag jedug to breakbeat. --- Dinner is Nasi Kuning, a celebratory turmeric coconut rice commonly served at Indonesian festivities from beloved Indonesian caterers Lawan (@lawancatering). Choices are: Nasi Kuning & Rendang Sapi Mealbox (Halal) Turmeric coconut rice w/ Padang Style Slow Cooked Beef and Blanched Vegetables in Spiced Grated Coconut Nasi Kuning & Tempeh Orek Mealbox (Vegan / GF) Turmeric Coconut Rice w/ Sweet and Spicy Glazed Tempe and Blanched Vegetables in Spiced Grated
