By The Meadow 2019

Overview

Back at work and feeling the post-festival season blues? We've got the cure with the return of By The Meadow to regional Victoria for its sixth edition of wild music.

The three-day music festival returns to the hills of Bambra, 90 minutes southwest of Melbourne, from March 29 to 31. Hit the dance floor to a lineup of soul, funk and disco, with headliners including blues and garage band The Murlocs, American indie rock artist Lucy Dacus — in her Aussie debut — indie pop trio The Goon Sax and Melbourne funk DJ Harvey Sutherland.

As the festival goes for just over 24 hours, you'll be able to settle in and enjoy the tunes then spend the night camping (or glamping) under the stars.

Much needed festival fodder will be available in the form of food stalls from local restaurateurs, with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, too. To drink, there'll be craft beers from Salt Brewing and wines from across the vineyards of the Otway Hinterlands. Or, you can BYO — just make sure you adhere to the festival's booze limits (around 18 cans of beer, or 12 RTDs).

So pack your camping gear and get ready for a weekend of music in the wilderness.
