John Butler Trio & Eskimo Joe Lead Gorgeous Festival

Plenty to enjoy at this two day event.

More John Butler Trio John Butler Trio Profile

Over two days in South Australia's glorious McLaren Vale, a whole stack of mighty fine acts will be on show for the third annual Gorgeous Festival and this evening we can confirm that the event has managed to secure some very big names to make it perhaps the festival's best line up to date.

Check out the bill!

John Butler Trio, Eskimo Joe, Blue King Brown, Lanie Lane, The Audreys, Paul Greene, Thelma Plum, Patrick James, Steve Smyth, Microwave Jenny, Brother Fox, Laura Hill, Gemini Downs

The Friday evening will see the incomparable John Butler Trio take headlining duties, smashing out one of their live performances that have become world renowned over the years. The smashing Lanie Lane will be also be on board for the first evening of the festival, while early acts include the likes of Steve Smyth, Microwave Jenny and Laura Hill.

The Saturday will be a day of live music to behold as Fremantle's Eskimo Joe lead proceedings with more than solid support from Melbourne's Blue King Brown and ARIA Award winners The Audreys. The quality continues all the way down the bill, though, with longstanding travelling troubadour Paul Greene, young Brisbane singer-songwriter Thelma Plum, Sydney's Patrick James, self-proclaimed “roots infusion” group Brother Fox and the super kooky Gemini Downs (led by Channel Ten news reporter Jessica Braithwaite) all getting involved.

Of course it's not all about music, the event gives people a chance to explore great wine and food and the scenery will be second-to-none.

It all happens in McLaren Vale on Friday 22 November and Saturday 23. Tickets are available through the festival's website from 9am Thursday 16 July.
