More than just the music, Tent Pole is a cross-generational, neo-nostalgic celebration and gathering for like-minded music, art and culture lovers; the weird, the wonderful, the outsiders and everyone in between. Remembering, discovering and absorbing. All-inclusive and accessible. All senses catered for; all sensations welcome.
Heading up the ground-breaking new one-day festival is influential and iconic US indie heroes Pavement, Texan blues alt-country singer-songwriter Charley Crockett and his band, US garage punk rockers Black Lips, indie-rock royalty Spiderbait, legendary Geelong locals Magic Dirt, alt-pop-rock faves Floodlights, San Diego rock’n’soulers The Schizophonics, Wiradjuri man and country and rock’n’roll superstar Jerikye Williams, punk trio CLAMM, Melbourne punk trio legends MOD CON, power pop rockers The Prize and Bellarine-based psychedelic dream pop, prog rockers Sirens.
Huge!
As part of the festival, OK Motels will take over the second stage, curating a line-up that will embrace their unique love of all things rural and retro. And with a nostalgic nod to the ’70s – Kate Berry, the founder and photographer behind everyone’s favourite Instagram account – with Shaun Adams, will produce a very OK program celebrating music, nostalgia and the great Aussie road trek.
To celebrate the arrival of a festival showcasing iconic, indie, lo-fi, hi-fi, post-punk, alternative, and renegade rock, we’re giving away five double passes to the event on Saturday 4 March at Mt Duneed Estate.
