In just under ten weeks from now, BOOGIE happens again, just up the Hume from Melbourne in Tallarook, Victoria. In its 16th year fans can expect the same ol’ magic, shenanigans, masterpiece moments and colourful vibrations that has made it an essential part of the country’s party and festival scene.
Taking place over the Easter weekend, April 7, 8 & 9, the annual festival will continue to bring the create its colourful community to Our Friend’s Farm on the lands of the Taungurung. Boogie has now announced a load of bands and entertainment so devotees and new comers alike, can plan their musical adventure.
It all begins on Friday April 7. Gates at 2pm, licensed area open from 5pm. Private Function, The Counterfeits’ Wild West Show featuring Freya Josephine Hollick, Girl & Girl, Guitar Wolf (Japan), and The Prize on the main stage. James Ellis & The Jealous Guys will be hanging out in the Clubhouse, traditionally, and we’ll have our friends Wax’o Paradiso and David Smiley sorting out the Late Night Vibes.
Boogie Believers will wake on Saturday to the joyful aural explosion of some old guy who cares for you spinning sad country 45’s in a rusted truck before Surprise Chef, Willie J & The Bad Books, Full Flower Moon Band, Batts, Phil Jamieson, The Slingers, Quivers, and Danika Smith take to the main stage. Later on, Grateful Dead lovers Deadnecks will play 4 hours of DEAD power direct from 1972. Meanwhile, harmonica-driven band, Headspin will reinvent what you thought blowing and sucking and bending an instrument is all about. Dreamers will be taken well into the night with Sophie McAlister and Colette thanks to the 1800 crew.
As we resurrect on Sunday for our last day in Heaven, campers, fans and lovers will be treated to a whole day of country, Americana, blues, cool shit and good times for Boogie Sunday. Andy Golledge, a star-studded celebration of The Band’s The Last Waltz, first time visitors The Pink Stones (USA), Watty Thompson And His Ensemble, Eils & The Drip, Foggy Notion, Queenie, Collingwood Casanovas, Archer & Martha Spencer will help fans to straighten out their cowboy hats.
If the sound of East Nashville, Brunswick, Austin, Newtown and Atlanta gets too much, you can always switch up your cowboy hat to a beret and go hear the cool sounds of 1800-Jazzagna with Reb, James Tom and Sugar D in the Clubhouse and some late-night joy brought to you by Andee Frost and Adriana.
Boogie is very excited to have good pals 1800-LASAGNE helping to dish up plenty of late-night musical curations after live bands, and who knows what, happens throughout the day.
