Kiss FM - Dance Music Australia

Nestled amongst the mighty Otway gums, Meadow takes place in the regional Victorian Surf Coast town of Bambra for three days and two nights of non-stop audio-visual stimuli. From Friday 23 – Sunday 25 April, the rolling Bambra hills will come alive with a diverse array of aural delights, epic sights and wondrous heights with delectable selections of music, food & drink and even films with Meadow’s beloved Glow Relaxo small screen cinema, returning in 2021 with a wondrous selection of Australian short films.

Introducing the recent Meadow lineup additions: Private Function, Prequel, King Stingray, C.Frim, Kult Kyss, Mindy Meng Wang 王萌 x Tim Shiel, The Seven Ups, Bones and Jones, ctrl me, Matt Bourke and the Delusional Drunks and Birdsnake, plus DJs: Dr. Condiments, Joey Lightbulb, Annaliese Redlich, Emerald and Ramdaddy. These acts will join an already stacked lineup of King Gizz, Angie McMahon, HTRK, Surprise Chef and a whole heap more for three days and two nights of music, camping and real-life hangs at the iconic Bambra Bowl this April.

Continuing their longstanding commitment to supporting local producers and suppliers, the Meadow crew are once again thrilled to present an all-local spread of food and drink options. The fresh, tasty lineup will be coupled by an even more mouth-watering feast of local produce and regionally focussed sips, with craft beers from Salt Brewing Company (Aireys Inlet), gin from Great Ocean Road Gin (Aireys Inlet), plus hand-picked cool climate wines from neighbouring Otway Hinterlands vineyards: Heroes Vineyard (Pennyroyal), Dinny Goonan Wines (Bambra) and Livewire Wines (Bellarine Peninsula). Carefully curated food stalls will boast some of the best bites of the region, operated by local restaurants and businesses such as Pete’s Woodfired Pizza (Aireys Inlet), Perla Tacos (Torquay), Tin Can Alley Cafe (Lorne), Hulms Pies (Colac) and more to come.

In parallel to the stellar live showcase, Meadow introduces a Virtual Festival in 2021. 14 artists, 2 sunsets, 2 sunrises, dancing, cocktails, camping and more captured live from the Bambra Bowl. Meadow will partner with Hutch Collective and Baked to beam a dusty Autumn sky, rugged bushland and a once in a year-time musical retreat back to the comfort of your living room providing a level of certainty that’s been missing since last March. You buy a ticket. You can watch the festival from home. Access via the Humanitix Virtual Events Hub. Simple. Professionally produced, presented on-demand over a 3 day period, two weeks after Meadow Music Festival. May 7-9, 2021.

We live, work and play on land that was forcibly taken from Aboriginal people. There has been no Treaty with the First Nations of this place and the effects of colonisation continue to this day. We would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people, on whose land this event will take place. We pay our respects to the Elders past, present and emerging and recognise that sovereignty has never been ceded.

FREAKQUENCY aims to provide a safe and inclusive dancefloor that encourages people to express themselves, and where female and GNC talents are celebrated and championed.

Lead guitarist Cesira Aitken said the group was excited to come to Darwin to play BASSINTHEGRASS.
“It’s been such a long time between shows, and this will be our first time in the Northern Territory,” she said.
“It’ll be a special time after such a weird year, we can’t wait!” Australian electropop duo Boo Seeka – made up of Ben Gumbleton and Michael May – said they were keen to get back to the Top End for BASSINTHEGRASS.
“It’s easily one of our favourite festivals,” Michael said.
“Darwin is such an awesome place and we’re both really looking forward to playing for fans at Mindil Beach next year in May.”
Northern Territory Major Events Company CEO Tim Watsford said he was stoked to confirm the line-up for next year’s BASSINTHEGRASS.
“With such a great selection of acts we expect music fans from around Australia to venture north, where they can soak up the sun, sand and good vibes at what has become an unmissable
event for Territorians,” he said.
“BASSINTHEGRASS is the perfect excuse to start planning your Territory adventure.”
