Wonder Mountain
A three-day arts and music hoedown ripping up the pubs of Beechworth, from the folks behind Strawberry Fields.
Overview
Just before much-loved music fest Strawberry Fields returns to its home in Tocumwal this spring, it's bringing some additional groove to a different part of regional Victoria. From Friday, September 9–Sunday, September 11, the team's set to descend on Beechworth for the debut edition of its brand new arts and music fiesta, Wonder Mountain.
Yes friends, this year you can double down on your Strawberry fix, as a lineup of ace Aussie acts grace multiple pub stages across the historic High Country town — including Tanswells, a 150-year-old boozer Ned Kelly once drank at.
There'll be hay bales to kick back on and drinks a-flowing, as you catch artists like psychedelic jazz outfit Mildlife, neo-soul funksters Kyoshi, Melbourne DJ Andras, future-soul songstress Emma Volard and electro-jazz collective Empress. The likes of Glass Beams, Big Yawn, Baby G and DJ Luv You will also be rocking Beechworth, with 17 acts currently confirmed.
Entry to the festival is free on September 9 (running 8pm–1am) and September 11 (1–4pm), while a ticket to Saturday's festivities (1pm–1am) starts from $85.
