23.01.2022 GOOD TIMES. We can’t wait to combine the rock & blues of Narara Music Festival with the folk, funk & groove of Wollombi Music Festival in 2021. Here's hoping or we'll just buckle in for 2022 ... With the COVID-19 climate changing like a winter’s day in Melbourne (sorry Victorian friends) we are being cautious about announcing anything until we truly know we can put on the kind of event we love to create & you deserve. Hang tight & enjoy the pics #musicfestivals #australianfestivals #goodtimes #rock #blues #funk #reggae #dub #folk #beautifulpeople

21.01.2022 CALLING ALL MUSO'S - GET YOUR LIVESTREAM ON We're blown away by the creativity & resilience being shown by our music family during these testing times As we know every sector of the creative arts has been hammered by the restrictions in place due to COVID-19.... We've worked with Hamish & the team at Aurora Show FX for close to a decade, which is one of the main reasons our sound & staging are up there with the best in the country for a small to medium sized fest. Hamish is not one to stand still & he's setup Pluto Entertainment in the festival 'off season' so muso's can stream a live show with all the best gear. THE BEST! Not only that he's offering these services for free - yep, free. They have all the paperwork sorted so you can travel etc & just do it. Email [email protected] for all the details.

19.01.2022 Yaama everyone This week is National NAIDOC week. It's a big week for the Aboriginal community & the entire country as we reflect on the culture & achievements of our First Nation Peoples, as well as what we can do together to build greater understanding & better relationships.... The traditional culture of the land in which we hold our events are central to the way we run our events - it's in our festival DNA. Festival Director Adrian will be on Darkinjung Land in Wollombi today chatting with the team at Cranky Rock, Wollombi on how we will move forward in 2021. Exciting times #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe

18.01.2022 Killed it at Narara 2018 & did the same at Wollombi 2019. Some fine photos right here

15.01.2022 During National NAIDOC Week we’re sending big ‘ups’ to our great mate & longtime videographer James O'Connor for his amazing camera work on this video about the practice of cultural burning

14.01.2022 It's been a VERY tough 12-months for the Music Industry - including our little big festival the Wollombi Music Festival. Festival restrictions, bushfires & now COVID-19 have led to multiple festival cancellations with more to be announced over the coming months. The hard work that goes into running festivals, being a professional musician or sustaining a financially viable life within the industry is hard enough at the best of times. ... It's all getting so much harder & recovering losses for cancelled or compromised events will take a long time for many people or send them to the wall. We as a nation need to do more to support the arts & independent artists, event organisers, associated industries & workers in particular. One thing you can do if you're affected is fill out this form https://ilostmygig.net.au/i-lost-my-gig Another thing you can do is support your fave artists through THEIR websites. Artists know their best revenue & it's 9 times out of 10 directly through them rather than popular streaming platforms who often pay them a pittance. Do some walking through their pages beautiful people and show them some love ARIA.

11.01.2022 We our drummers!

10.01.2022 This is very good news Narara & Wollombi to combine forces in a powerful 2 nights of music

10.01.2022 THE FUTURE OF WOLLOMBI - WE NEED YOU ADVICE! New Location - New Name - Let Us Know It's been a crazy few months post Wollombi 2019 & we're slowly working through options for the festival moving forward.... As we mentioned in previous posts Wollombi in Wollombi is not a viable venture with such a limited capacity unless we significantly raise the cost of tickets. We have always prided ourselves on putting on a 'big little' festival with great production, a beautiful site & quality markets, food & all the other festival elements. This year was amazing, the best Wollombi ever, but when our request for an increase in capacity was rejected things got really tough. There is a real enthusiasm from larger local venues & surrounding areas to host Wollombi in 2021 including Maitland & the Central Coast, but we'd love your feedback on where you'd like to see us for the next 10 years!

08.01.2022 Keeping the good times alive

07.01.2022 We’ve seen some great collabs coming out of these difficult times but this is our current numero uno Sweet!!!

07.01.2022 ! ' & ' . Hi everyone - hope you're all doing ok in these crazy times.... 2020 has been a real dud we know, but with spring has come the smell of sweet jasmine & the wishful promise we can bring our version of good times back in a sustainable & enjoyable way. We've been really upfront about the struggles we faced in 2018/19 with an unsupportive council & the RFS putting insurmountable restrictions on our safe little bush festival. But it's time to put this behind us & with the COVID situation comes an opportunity to reimagine how we can run multiple smaller events in our beloved Wollombi & then look towards a full festival relaunch in 2022. So we've had prelim discussions with the wonderful Pyne's (Lindsay in the hat) at Cranky Rock, Wollombi & we will be putting on some 'Wollombi Presents' shows in Autumn & Spring 2021. These shows will have a max capacity of 250-300 people & will follow all COVID guidelines as they stand at the time. All the festival vibes will be there but 1 night only (camping available), single stage, quality food, well stocked bar, with smaller but bloody amazing lineups of Australian acts. We're excited & we know you will be too. These shows will sell out. Big love & stay tuned

06.01.2022 WOLLOMBI 2019 WRAP VIDEO | SEE YOU IN 2021 ON THE CENTRAL COAST Loving our Wollombi 2019 wrap video from the awesome Josh at JB Creative. We'll keep you in the loop on FB and Instagram about all the exciting changes in store for our 'little big festival' combining the rock & blues of Narara Music Festival on the Friday night & the funk, soul, reggae & dance of Wollombi on the Saturday night.... Epic times await. Music - Community - Good Vibes. Friday & Saturday - September 24 & 25 2021. Wishing I Had You courtesy of The Swamp Stompers.

06.01.2022 In May 2017 we held our first reincarnation of Narara Music Festival at Mt Penang Parklands & what a bloody awesome festival it was!! It's a tough ride at the moment for everyone within the festival world & it's not getting any easier in the short to medium, potentially long term.... However, we're excited about bringing Narara Music Festival & Wollombi Music Festival together over 2 days in 2021 or 2022. Friday night will be our Narara night ALL rock & blues with our Retro Rumble & all classic hits Silent Disco. Saturday day/night will be Wollombi Music Festival which equals super sweet funk, soul, reggae & groove. Something to wet your appetite.
