New Festival The Drop Will Tour the Country's Most Iconic Surf Spots
The boutique festival will follow the World Surf League Championships across the country, headlined by Safia, San Cisco and Dune Rats.
Surfing and gig-going have always been two of Australia's best-loved pastimes, and now we've scored a festival celebrating the best of both worlds.
Debuting this autumn, The Drop festival will cruise around the country as it follows the Aussie leg of the World Surf League Championship Tour and it's bringing a banging little lineup of musical gold along for the ride. Surfing the festival wave for 2018 are Canberra favourites Safia, Indie pop darlings San Cisco and Brisbane rockers Dune Rats, along with other local legends Holy Holy and Ruby Fields.
Held on the first weekend of each area's surfing event, The Drop's set to grace some of the Australia's most iconic surf spots, each outing featuring a locally-focused offering of food, drink and culture, to match the tunes.
Catch it at Tweed Heads' Ebenezer Park on March 17, Torquay Common in Torquay on March 31 and then on April 14 at Margaret River's Three Oceans Winery.
First release tickets for The Drop are $75, available here for Tweed Heads and Torquay, and here for Margaret River. For more info, visit thedropfestival.com.au.
