CherryFest Adds Reformation, German Debut & Locals To Line-Up

Line-up fleshed out

Melbourne's CherryFest has extended its line-up beyond The BellRays today, with Chris Wilson's Crown Of Thorns coming together for the first time in almost 20 years and Germany's Kadavar playing their first Australian show.

With 14 acts to play across two stages in AC/DC lane, the event has also confirmed HOSS, Legends Of Motorsport, The Mercy Kills and The Deep End.

Cheery Bar owner and booker James Young has dropped the price this year after admitting, “Last year we got greedy and charged $94, this year we needed to gice back to the people, so we've dropped our price by a whopping $40 to a mere $54 early bird ticket price.”

The festival will take place Sunday 24 November from 12 noon to 9.30pm. There is a 800 person capacity.
