Bendigo has Groovin' The Moo - and now Shepparton is going to enter the regional festival scene in 2011 with its very own all-day music event - The 3630 Festival!
The brainchild of local music promoters Jamie Lea and Lyndon Galea - The 3630 Festival will be held at the Shepparton Showgrounds on Sunday, March 13.
Australia's indie-music-duo-of-the-moment Angus and Julia Stone will headline the event, along with Clare Bowditch and several born-and-bred Goulburn Valley stars including The Verses, Ryan Meeking, Briggs and Muscles.
A range of local bandswill also hit the main stage earlier in the day, while some soon-to-be-confirmed young musicians and rap artists will strut their stuff on a Live and Local stage and a DJ/Hip-hop tent in the afternoon. On top of all that, there will also be plenty of bars, drinks and food available for punters.
Considering the Goulburn Valley has never had its own musical festival before and is often missed by the big-name acts when they do regional tours - this is a pretty big deal to have an event like this in the region. The lineup is also a great alternative for those who aren't up for the doof-doof and swarms of metros at the Future Music Festival, and the collection of mostly no-namers at the teeny-bopper-filled Push Over.
Tickets for the 3630 Festival are $65 and go on sale from midday this Sunday (Boxing Day) from the Lemon Tree Cafe in Fryers St, Shepparton and via www.riverlinksvenues.com.au. The festival is 18+ and there is only 4000 tickets available, so you'd better get in quick!
