Have You Been To: ROAR Festival

"We've got more than just music happening. There'll be plenty of other things to do as well. Party hard!"

Answered by Brett Anderson, Festival Organiser

Why should punters visit you? ROAR has an awesome line-up of some of the best national and international acts playing over 11 hours at a site on the banks of the picturesque Macquarie River, within walking distance of Dubbo's CBD.

What's the history of the event? This is the first ever ROAR Festival. It's run by a not-for-profit group who want to provide a fun, safe event that provides opportunities and puts profits back into the community.

Any advice for first timers who want to visit the event? We've got more than just music happening. There'll be plenty of other things to do as well. Party hard!

Who's performing this time around? Seth Sentry, MaRLo, Hayden James, Tkay Maidza, Slumberjack, Savage, Zac Waters, Young Franco, Human Movement, Wallace, Lisa Viola, Passerine, Kids At Midnight, Risque, Harpoon, Emerson Long, Mad Lucci and more.

Do you have any plans for the event in the future? We hope this won't be the last ROAR Festival but first things first, we will make 9 Apr a huge success so we can build on it from there.

When and where for your next event? 9 Apr, Police Paddock Reserve, Dubbo NSW.
