Shag Rock, Drop Legs & More Join Crafted Beer & Cider Festival Line-up

We're five weeks out from the first Crafted Beer & Cider Festival on the Gold Coast, and organisers have added a stack of new live entertainment to the spread of offerings, along with a Chandon pop-up bar, additional breweries and food vendors and more.

Leading the charge of newcomers to the musical bill are Brissy surf-pop-rock outfit Shag Rock, who'll be flanked by Byron Bay reggae/hip hop five-piece Drop Legs, indie-rock locals Eliza & The Delusionals, alt-rockers The Maslows, coastal acoustic duo Azmosphere and the Beatniks DJs, of Broadbeach's own Beatniks Records.

They join previously announced artists Bullhorn and The Ruiins in bringing the noise to the beach this November, rounding out a solid line-up of song-slingers to keep your body buzzing all day long.

On the flavorful side of things, new breweries to join the fun include local companies Green Beacon Brewing Co and Aether Brewing, along with Newtown legends Young Henrys and Beard & Brau, from Mt Tamborine. To keep bellies from grumbling, there'll be deliciousness aplenty from the folks at Food Kartel, The Weiner Haus, Cychos Buffalo Wings, A Taste Of Africa, Little Wahaca, Zicatela Woodfired Mexican and the Cheese & Deli Kitchen, among others.

The fresh additions are capped off by the classy Chandon S Spritz Pop Up Bar, to please the wine-lovers among you, complemented by the flavours of Margaret River via Cape Mentelle winery.

It all goes down at Pratten Park, Broadbeach, on Saturday 4 November. Final-release tickets are available now through the festival's website.
