25.01.2022 Loud, melodic, deep, dark, gorgeous, rock n roll baritone..... and it packs a punch! The lads from Chavez Cartel rocked our River Festival stage in 2019 and COVID has not held them back from pumping out some new sounds on their brand new EP, Quarantine Sessions (live from StudioOne16). Available now on Spotify https://spoti.fi/3r4LFEb and Apple Music https://apple.co/3aiy8D2 It's raw, it's live and it's definitely worth a listen.

24.01.2022 We loved meeting Denvah Music at River Festival last year after hearing she was an up and coming local artist making waves in the country music scene. Her song 'My Favourite' has been in the top 10 for over 7 weeks! Catch her here on Sunday streaming from 5.30pm as part of our Virtual Sunday Sessions!

21.01.2022 One of River Festival’s favourite artists Mitch King has just released a new single. Check it out below!

18.01.2022 Who else got freaked out by the Boom Family giant puppets at River Festival in 2017? The Boom Family are your average Aussie battlers from Geelong, but at up to four metres tall, they’ve spent the last decades travelling the world looking for a decent shopping centre and bowls club that will fit them. Did you know? The fear of puppets is technically known as Pupaphobia.

18.01.2022 One thing we will definitely miss from River Festival this year is the markets! But fear not! The Hive Boutique is bringing some of our absolute faves (plus heaps of new and exciting artists) to Stockland this week for their pop-up Artisan Collective Thursday - Saturday Boys & Buds By The Bay - The Label Chalkdust Fine Arts - Belinda Reid...

14.01.2022 Rockhampton Zoo's mischievous meerkats are nearly ready to meet you! The curious bunch are settling in at Rockhampton Zoo and should be ready for public viewing in December. The mob is made up of four females and includes a mother, an adult daughter, as well as two pups. The mother’s name is Aya and she is 5 and a half years old, the eldest daughter is Sabari, who is 15 months, and the two pups - Keeya and Mahlia - are both three and a half months. The exhibit, which is loca...ted near the chimp enclosure and the dome aviary, has been carefully constructed to replicate their desert habitat by giving them lots of nooks and crannies to tunnel in, and high sentry posts like termite mounds. We can't wait to see them! Tag your friends below so they can plan a visit

09.01.2022 IN FLANDERS FIELDS In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place: and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly... Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. John McCrae (18721918)
