Friday night is officially sold out, though tickets are still available for Saturday night.
Up to 400 cars are set to be parked along the turf for each alcohol-free gig, which were originally postponed due to bad weather at the end of July.
The Windang group will be playing the entirety of their latest studio album, Brain Candy, but there won't be dancing.
Jeb Taylor from the band's record label (Farmer and the Owl) said it would be strictly an in-car service due to COVID-19 regulations. While food, drinks and merchandise would be delivered direct to vehicles.
Meantime, it may be a novel idea of reinventing the drive-in, but it's unlikely for it to become a regular fixture in the Illawarra.
"It costs a lot to setup a drive-in for a quarter of the punters that would normally be in a space that size," Taylor said.
"The primary focus of this one was around the release of the album ... I don't think it's a long-term viable thing."
The Pinheads will be the support act for Hockey Dad, along with the premier of the surf film Rage 3.
