Dancing to the Ballarat Beat

Can I get a hallelujah? My rockin’ and rollin’ brothers and sisters, Ballarat Beat Rockabilly Festival is set to shine its glory upon us once again. Seriously folks, if you have been snoozin’, you have been losin’. The Ballarat Beat Rockabilly Festival is your one-stop destination for all things rockabilly – the music, the fashion, the cars, the beer and, yes, the vibe. Performers in 2015 include The Detonators, Atomic Hi-Tones, Benny & The Flybyniters, The Lincolns, The Satellites, TJ and the Twinspinners, Ezra Lee & The Havoc Band, The Pacific Belles, West Texas Crude and The Sky Rockats. Other highlights include the Miss Ballarat Beat Pin-Up which returns for another run. Who has the looks that kill? From the team: “Ballarat Beat offers punters a unique opportunity to see music acts from across Australia, classic cars and hot rods, fashion and market stalls celebrating all things from the rockabilly era. Come and play at Rockabilly for one day or all 4 days! Die-hard rockabilly fans will be in heaven, and those new to the genre will find plenty of colour, life, movement and music to entertain them for hours. The rockabilly crowd at Ballarat Beat is one of the most joyous crowds you’ll find anywhere.” Ballarat – February 12-15.
