Meadow Ready to Hit Country Victoria for Bushfire Relief

Summer might be winding down, but festival season isn’t quite over just yet. If you prefer a festival that’s a little bit cooler, in more ways than one, check out Meadow in Bambra from March 27 to 29. Formerly By the Meadow, this boutique festival is headed up by exciting young acts including Angie McMahon, Sweet Whirl, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Close Counters, Emily Wurramara, Closes Counters, and a whole stack more.

The Victorian Otways provides the perfect backdrop across three days and two nights. It’s all BYO too, so you can forget about long bar lines and focus on seeing your favourite bands. Alternatively, enjoy bevvies from Salt Brewing, Great Ocean Road Gin, and local cool climate wineries. Local restaurants will also serve up tasty dishes to match the great booze on offer.

Meadow tickets, including add-ons like parking and glamping packages, are available now through the Meadow Festival website. With 20% of all ticket sale profits going to the CFA and a whole lot of great music to boot, you’ll want to get on this.

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!
