The Plot Music Festival Heads for Parramatta This Summer

The Plot is back. And this time, it’s heading for Parramatta Park. For those unfamiliar with the name, The Plot is a new music festival that first happened back in 2013 – in Sydney at Luna Park’s Big Top and in Melbourne at the Palace Theatre and Ding Dong Lounge.

The lineup is yet to be announced. But we can give you a date and place to engrave in your diaries: Saturday, December 5 at Parramatta Park. So it’ll be an epic, summery, outdoor affair, with gorgeous Old Government House at its centre, and the beautifully revived Parramatta River alongside.

We can also tell you there’ll be three stages, an abundance of locally-made food featuring local produce, craft beers, boutique wines and an eclectic mix of music from both Australia and overseas. What’s more, The Plot is promising to celebrate the diversity and community spirit associated with Sydney’s Greater West.

To make sure you’re first to hear the programme, tune into triple j’s Lunch with Lewi on Wednesday, September 30. Tickets will go on sale to the general public at 9am on Thursday, October 8 at $69 (+bf). But if you’re a Past Plotter, you’ll score the 2013 price of $45 (+BF). Just keep an eye on your inbox for a unique link that’ll allow you to take advantage of this bargain — it’ll arrive around 9am on Thursday, October 1 and will remain valid until midnight, Wednesday, October 7. After that, you’ll be paying full price.
