Gorge Yourself On Meatstock Melbourne's Delicious 2017 Music Line-up (& Its Food)

The music-and-meat mecca hits Victoria in April.

More The Fumes The Fumes

Annual sensory and literal feast Meatstock is making its way to Melbourne next year with a nigh-irresistible spread of music and meat on which to sate yourself good and proper.

The soundtrack will be provided by acclaimed rockers The Delta Riggs and venerated troubadour Skyscraper Stan alongside fellow drawcards The Tommyhawks, The Fumes, David Orr, Dusty Boots and Royal Chant, alongside more yet to be unveiled.

They'll be providing the tunes to go alongside with the mouth-watering barbecued goodness on offer, with purveyors of meaty portions including team-ups and solo efforts from food trucks and vendors such as Fancy Hanks x Red Gum BBQ, Burgers By Josh, Smokin' Grill Barbecue, Burn City Smokers x Jack The Ribber, Rangers Texas BBQ, Parrilla Argenchino, Big Smoke BBQ x Boomtown Barbecue, The Real Jerk Food Truck and Chrissy's Cuts x Limbrisket.

At only $35 a day, or $55 for the full weekend, it's the kind of smokey smorgasbord that you'd want to have good reason to not attend (i.e. vegetarianism/veganism — you do you, herbivore friends).

Meatstock Melbourne 2017, proudly presented by The Music, goes down from 22-23 April, featuring "bands, barbecues, beards and barbers, butchers, bourbon and plenty of beer".

"Melbourne's BBQ and music scene is right up there with the best in the world and we can't wait to showcase to the public this highly passionate community in one big music and barbecue festival," festival director Simon Luke said in a statement.
