Out On The Weekend Fest Expands In 2015

After its inaugural event in Melbourne last year, organisers of Americana-inspired festival Out On The Weekend have announced that it will expand to Sydney in 2015.

As well as taking place again at Melbourne's Seaworks in Williamstown on Saturday, 17 October, the festival will head to Sydney the following week to hold the event at Bella Vista Farm on Saturday, 24 October. 

Festival organisers said today in a statement: "Almost by accident we came upon Bella Vista Farm, out west of the Sydney CBD. A historic homestead and farm, the space was too good to not do something special."

"So amongst two hundred year old buildings, great local flora and some curious sheep, we are creating a top-notch experience for the ages. Rest assured all the bits that made Melbourne incredible will be on offer in both fine cities in our attempt to bring the good times to all."

The news comes just in time for the first announcement of musical acts to perform, as well as food and beverage offerings, which drops at 9am on Tuesday, 4 August. 

Last year's event included a number of popular acts including Chris Altman, Emma Swift, Justin Townes Earle, Nikki Lane, Raised By Eagles and many more.
