Sometimes affectionately known as Sleepy Hollow, the Victorian town of Geelong is set to rock from March 6-8 next year with a brand new music festival, the Motor City Music Festival. The folks down at Geelong have been copping a bad break of late and are in need of a celebration.
To be held at the Geelong Showgrounds over the long weekend in March, festival organisers made their first line up announcement last night at a function at The Carousel on Eastern Beach. Artists appearing at the festival include The Black Sorrows, Chris Wilson, Eurogliders, Electric Mary, James Blundell, Jimi Hocking, JR Reyne, Jason Singh, Michael Stangel and more.
The Friday and Saturday of the event will be an adults only affair with music pumping out from 5 stages (one open air and 4 undercover). There will be gourmet food vans, lots of well-stocked bars, carnival rides, market stalls and ample free parking. The Sunday has been decreed Family day and will wind up with a huge fireworks display.
You can save heaps on tickets by getting in early too with limited edition 50% off passes but you need to be quick.
