The Riverboats Festival has announced its line up for 2015, so get ready for three summer filled days spent under the gums of the Echuca-Moama, on the banks of the Murray River from February 13 – 15.
The line up includes Dan Sultan, Sarah Blasko, Tex Perkins & The Dark Horses, The Whitlams, The Bamboos, Adalita, Mick Harvey, Diesel, Fraser A Gorman, Matt Walker & The Lost Ragas, Sal Kimber & The Rolling Wheel, Stella Angelico and Raised By Eagles.
“We are so excited to be bringing this spectacular lineup to the banks of mighty Murray next February. Riverboats provides festival-goers with an opportunity to experience a truly beautiful part of Australia without the queues, ticket prices and hassle of larger events,” said Festival Producer David Frazer
From lunchtime until late each day an eclectic mix of Australian icons and trailblazing up-and-comers take to the stage with Riverboats’ captivating location lends a leisurely, laid-back vibe to the weekend’s festivities.Staged once again within the superb natural amphitheatre of Echuca’s Aquatic Reserve, Riverboats is the natural home for festival fans looking for an intimate experience brimming with great music and a handpicked selection of regional food and wine.
In keeping with the festival’s namesake, revellers can also experience a two-hour river cruise aboard a century-old paddle steamer. Whilst on-board the PS Pevensey, deluxe ticket holders will feast on a delicious local brunch accompanied by live music from Sal Kimber & The Rollin’ Wheel. The cruise takes place on Saturday February 14 from 11.30am to 1.30pm, returning to the historic Port of Echuca in time for the Saturday afternoon line-up.
A major hit in previous years, the Beechworth Bakery will once again host the Official Festival Breakfast, taking place on Sunday February 15 from 9.00am to 12noon on the top floor of the bakery. Featuring performances by Melbourne alt-country outfit Raised by Eagles, views over the Campaspe River and a great local breakfast spread, this event always sells out early.
