A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR MAIN STAGE PERFOMERS…

Internationally renowned dub aficionados KINGFISHA stand

shoulder-to-shoulder with the world’s best proponents of the

genre. Sultry, expert, and undeniably infectious, the KINGFISHA

sound highlights deep all-encompassing rhythms with a feather-

light touch and understated soul vocal that has built them an

impeccable reputation as Australia’s bass-heavy roof-raisers.

What a way to open the Djerriwarrh Festival main stage ….

Woodlock are a Melbourne-based acoustic/folk band who

gained popularity by busking the streets of rural and capital

cities. With a sound that has been described as Stadium Folk, it

is defined by its vocal harmonies, story-telling lyrics and catchy

rhythms. They are infectious, lively performers, never hiding their

love of music. Pull up a patch a grass and get ready to be swept

away by Woodlock…

The unconventional songwriters are two guitars, vocals and a

beast behind the kit. They fit somewhere in between blues riffed

The Black Keys, and the incredible full-throated wail of Janis

Joplin. Having no bass, the drums are integral to the sonic

massive-ness that fits in-between the mechanical style riffs, their

songs are catchy, huge and you can feel the truth in their tales.

Get ready for Dallas Frasca!

Ash Grunwald has had the most prolific blues career in

Australian history. He’s been at the forefront of success in the

Australian music scene for more than 12 years, nominated for six

ARIA awards and three APRA awards, winning two of the latter.

The man’s talents and achievements have gone from strength to

strength, innovation to innovation and from country to country!

And now ... he's heading to Djerriwarrh Festival 2017...

Don't miss this man’s set.... he's incredible!

33 Aria Awards, 16 top-ten albums and four of Australia’s most

celebrated musicians – all brought together for one electrifying

rock and roll experience.- The Antipodean Rock Collective (ARC)

share a rock passion that span decades. Featuring members of

legendary Australian bands Spiderbait (Kram), Jet (Mark Wilson),

Powderfinger (Darren Middleton), You Am I (Davey Lane), the

Antipodean Rock Collective are a distillation of Australian Rock.

Performing from a vast catalogue of their smash hits from

Australia and New Zealand, you’ll have a chance to dance, sing

and shout along with some Aussie music’s original players.

Expect to be entertained with the music that EVERYONE loves

when they hit the main stage!
