Legends on the rocks

The Black Sorrows at Sunset.

STANTHORPE is set to rock again with some of the legends of Australian music on their way for the third annual Stanthorpe Rocks Festival in November.
THE Slydogz Eventz team are set to take the event to a whole new level after announcing this year’s star-studded line-up.
“We’ve got Whisky Gully, Jon English and Peter Cupples, Eurogliders, Taxiride, Ross Wilson, Daryl Braithwaite and Jon Stevens all booked in to hit the main stage on 14 November,” said event CEO Ian Wade-Parker.
As if the stellar list of acts wasn’t exciting enough, Ian also announced that the successful Rocks format has been extended to two days.
“Day two of the event is Rock n Recovery which is all about showcasing the best of Granite Belt region with five local acts on the main stage and another five acts in the Beer Garden during the breaks!
“Plus we’ll have some great market stalls and food vendors to showcase some of the fantastic Granite Belt offerings!
“The good news doesn’t stop there, we have a great new venue, still at Ballendean Estate winery but have just moved to a new area right across the road.
“The big benefit of the new site is that it has much more space and we can build the perfect infrastructure to meet our needs and provide an even better festival experience.
“Other new additions this year are a Super Tent with a purpose built stage and all the important aspects of the day neatly tucked inside including a dance zone, seating, corporate areas and a restaurant.
“Plus we’ve added big screens, market stalls, a beer garden and onsite camping!”
Tickets for Stanthorpe Rocks are available now and sales have been strong already.
Lucky fan Allanna McDonald is particularly excited because she won two reserve tickets in the recent Stanthorpe Rocks Facebook competition.
Stanthorpe Rocks is a boutique style festival aimed at the discerning festival goer who wants to have a great day out with fantastic music and food as well as a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
The event also provides a fantastic return to the community so it is a win for everyone!
