Welcoming the internationally renowned and daring Professional Bull Riders (PBR) at all Meatstock locations, attendees can buckle up for the toughest eight seconds in sports and find out what it means to be an Aussie cowboy.

From cowbells to dumbbells, get primal in the Strong Man and Woman arena, bearing witness to some of the biggest weapons in Oz battle it out in unbelievable strength tournaments like the Viking Deadlift, Truck Pull, Deadlift Medley, Max Monster Dumbbells and the Stone series. If this still isn’t enough eyecandy, you can park up and watch the beard and moe wars, burger eating contest and butcher wars for some hilarious, yet competitive entertainment.

Last, but definitely not least, Meatstock has all your senses covered, pulling together some of Australia’s best country music acts to put on one hell of a show. In Melbourne, we’ll be seeing the likes of Brad Cox, Amber Lawrence, Darlinghurst, The Pleasures, The Surreal McCoys, Davidson Bros, James Ellis and the Jealous Guys and Frank Sultana, as well as Queenie, Rose Zita Falko and The Smith & Western Jury.

Toowoomba’s event will see Kasey Chambers, Brad Cox, The McClymonts, James Johnston and Casey Barnes, among others, while Sydney will feature Grinspoon, Jebediah, Kingswood, Caitlin Harnett & The Pony Boys and Amber Lawrence, among others.

Meatstock will be offering weekend and day passes over the three locations, plus camping and RV options to stay on site at Toowoomba, with plenty of parking available for all venues.
