Music Festivals in Vic ?

Looking for some more music festivals to be held in Vic for the remainder of 2017.

Anne and I get out to a few of these and we'd like to add a few more to our calendar.
Not fussed on the style of music, we enjoy the ppl as much as the music.
That said, we do have a favouring for Bluesey stuff and anything with Ukuleles.

We know of most of the ones listed there Jon, have been to many of them but a couple of new ones dig crop up :)
I did note some out of date info on a couple of our known festivals there, but I guess we should expect that with those type of lists. It does give a jump off point though.
Thanks for posting it ;)

Lance there is a good one at Swan Reach each year I think that hold several sections for audience performance. I'll try to find out more about it but I guess it's too far for you?

Yep, we've got that one on our 'Retirement List' Bruce, it' is a tad too far for a weekend away while we're still working.
We've had friends go over there and they reckon it could be a little 'too country' for us, but we'll be giving it a burl once we get some more time.

The site is being built by the originator of Camps Australia Wide. It is only in its infancy, but I expect it will become more complete and reliable as it is commercialised.

These are good source for blues and other festivals, problem with these lists is music festivals come and go and getting hold of the organisers to see if they are happening, can be hard.

Most music festivals seem to be centered around summer, so there are very few during the winter in the south of Aus. We are still waiting for confirmation as to whether a couple of festivals will go ahead this year and that slows down bookings.
