Homegrown alt-country music festival Lightning & Rhinestones heads to Hepburn Springs

For the lovers of a Sunday Session, alt-country music festival is hitting the Palais-Hepburn this November.

Music enthusiasts, festival-goers, and lovers of all things alt-country, get ready for a rip-roaring experience this November Cup Weekend! The much-anticipated Lightning & Rhinestones festival is heading to the iconic Palais-Hepburn, and it’s set to be an absolute scorcher.

Following their triumphant sold out inaugural festival in Geelong in June, the organisers have decided to grace us with the cosmic country extravaganza on Sunday, November 5th. From noon till 8 pm, it’s a date for the diaries of anyone who’s ever tapped their toes to the rhythmic twang of alt-country music.

Lightning & Rhinestones has brought together a star-studded line-up of Australia’s most talented alt-country legends for this event, including the likes of Freya Josephine Hollick, Ben Mastwyk and His Millions, Georgia State Line and more. Brace yourselves for a day filled with cosmic harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and that unmistakable alt-country vibe.
