A Hitch to the Sticks Back With Big Local Line-Up

A Hitch to the Sticks is back and better than ever this year with an eclectic, electric line-up heading to Wangaratta this November. Tex Perkins & His Fat Rubber Band, Magic Dirt, Stonefield, Ella Hooper, Dallas Crane, Bachelor Girl, Cookin’ on 3 Burners, Davidson Brothers, Emilee South, and plenty more will all make this one music event you won’t forget. Dr. Karl from Neighbours will even be there! I’m not even kidding!

A Hitch to the Sticks is no ordinary music festival. Just 50 punters will make the once-in-a-lifetime trip from the Melbourne CBD to the Wangaratta region. Bus ticket holders enjoy access to nine events running from November 1 to 3, including six exclusively for VIPs. As one lucky punter put it last year, it was “not so much a ticket, but a portal to the best weekend of my life.”

If you can’t get a space on the bus, you’re still welcome to check out the public events. Attend all three for less when you snare a weekend pass. Head to the A Hitch to the Sticks website for all the deets!

Join Dallas Frasca on Tour With A Hitch to the Sticks Festival

If you’ve ever wanted to live the rock and roll lifestyle on a tour bus, now you get your chance thanks to Dallas Frasca’s revolutionary new music festival, A Hitch to the Sticks.

This unique band-tour-meets-VIP-experience will see 50 music fans spending three days on a regional tour bus with Dallas and some special guests including Nicky Bomba and Liv Cartledge. The bus leaves from Melbourne on March 16 and heads north to six secret locations and four public events across Violet Town, Lima, Myrrhee, Tatong, Thoona, Wangaratta, and Moyhu. I’ve got to admit, I haven’t even heard of half those places, so I assume they don’t get a lot of live music! Along the way, ticket holders will take part in a hedge maze “artist hunt” to find live local artists, a rock and roll slumber party, meet celebrity hitchhikers, and see a performance by a special international mystery guest.

There are still some bus tickets remaining as I write this, but since there are just 50 I don’t expect them to last long. If you miss out, you can catch up with Dallas and the passengers at the public events, like the Down by the River Festival in Wangaratta. Keep an eye on the A Hitch to the Sticks website for details of public event. Festival tickets are also available through the site.
