Newstead Roots Festival 2019

Overview

The Triffid has long been Brisbane's home of roots tunes, and has been since the Newstead hangout started running acoustic gigs back when it opened. The venue is also the host of the city's annual roots festival — starting back in 2016, running annually since, and returning for another round from 4pm on Saturday, February 2.

Meet the Newstead Roots Festival. With Band of Frequencies, Dave Orr Band, The Long Johns, JB Paterson and Mardi Wilson on the bill, it's the ultimate weekend roots session.

Entry is free, with full sets rocking the main stage and acoustic sounds filtering through the beer garden — where you'll obviously find plenty of drinks to accompany this laidback festival outing.
