Melbourne’s much-loved OUT ON THE WEEKEND festival returns to Williamstown’s Seaworks on December 11 with a stellar All-Victorian line-up now bolstered by Neil Murray & Band, Georgia State Line, The Cartwheels, Dave Wright & The Midnight Ramblers and Kerryn Fields.
They join Wagons, Mick Thomas’ Roving Commission, Liz Stringer, Lost Ragas, Warner Brothers, Sherry Rich & The Grievous Angels and more in what is not only a celebration of Melbourne’s love of all things Alternative-Country, Folk and Americana, but also a celebration of Victoria’s own world class artists working this field.

Melbourne’s much-loved OUT ON THE WEEKEND festival returns to Williamstown’s Seaworks on December 11 with a stellar All-Victorian line-up including Wagons, Mick Thomas’ Roving Commission, Liz Stringer, Lost Ragas, Warner Brothers, Sherry Rich & The Grievous Angels and more.
Melbourne’s roots music scene, which has been a thing since Daddy Cool and the Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band played Brunswick’s TF Much Ballroom in the early ‘70s and the Dingoes made the Station Hotel in Prahran a country-rock headquarters a few years later, is one of the strongest music scenes on the planet. And Melbourne’s Inner West is amongst the most vibrant cultural areas in a city spoilt for choice. Not for nothing was Yarraville named the fifth coolest neighbourhood in the world in a 2020 Time Out magazine survey.
So, it is no surprise that the annual OUT ON THE WEEKEND Festival, held just down the road in waterside Williamstown, has become a Melbourne music, food and lifestyle institution since first appearing in 2014.
