Newstead Roots Festival

The ultimate Sunday roots session.

Overview

Sunday afternoons, The Triffid and a Sarah Howells-selected roots lineup go hand-in-hand — or they have since the Newstead hangout started asking the ABC radio host to help curate their end-of-weekend acoustic gigs back in November 2014. So, it was only a matter of time until the venue decided to turn their regular shindigs into a festival.

Meet the Newstead Roots Festival, aka a beefed-up version of the events everyone already knows and loves. With Bullhorn, Dubmarine, Cheap Fakes, Bobby Alu, Bearfoot, Leanne Tennant, Black Rabbit George and Claire-Anne Taylor on the bill, playing on both the main stage and out in the beer garden, it's the ultimate Sunday roots session — and even better if you don't have to go to work on Monday.
