Thanks for coming!

A very big thank-you to all those who attended the First Avoca Music Festival, performers, vendors, volunteers and patrons alike.  We all had a great time and received some promising feedback throughout the festival, and appreciate your understanding whilst we used the opportunity not only to enjoy what was on offer, we also learnt what we can do better to make this a far more enjoyable event in the years to come.

We'll soon have a formal feedback form in place on the website, though for the moment please feel free to send any comments, suggestions, or thanks to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Check out the photos in our gallery, just some of the pics taken throughout the festival. 

Thanks once again.  After a short break, we'll begin preparations for next year's event and certainly hope to see you there!

Avoca Music Festival

Who are we?

Avoca Indie Music Festival Pty Ltd. are a group of dedicated music lovers who want to have live music return to the Pyrenees. We are all passionate about independent music and musicians. Following the last year's hard work with the flood recovery efforts our rural regions and farmers would benefit from a morale booster. What better way than 3 days of music and fun. Our first event was this marvellous March Music Festival being ran in conjunction with our friends and sponsors;

Our Major Sponsor is Avoca Farmstay. www.avocafarmstay.com.au

Avoca Music Festival at Avoca Racecourse is a Festival Precinct event.  All listed bands and performances are in the one main location spread across separate stages, meaning there is no need to travel from location to location to see each artist.
