Meadow 9
Friday 31 March – Sunday 2 April 2023
Bambra, Victoria
Meadow is back in Autumn 2023 for the ninth installment of the Victorian surf coast retreat; a three-day two-night exploration of genre-expanding local and international live music in Bambra on Gulidjan, Gadubanud and Wadawurrung land. From Friday 31 March – Sunday 2 April, the festival will see the iconic Bambra Bowl come to life by an unmissable line-up headlined by Philadelphia’s lo-fi rocker Kurt Vile and his band The Violators and featuring London’s post punk revivalists and noise rock band Black Midi, Jen Cloher, Kučka, Cash Savage & The Last Drinks, Big Scary, Agung Mango and many more. In the wake of this year’s homegrown celebration including Tropical Fuck Storm, Methyl Ethyl, and Maple Glider, this next chapter of Meadow is sure to cover every inch of the music spectrum and is one for the history books.

Black Midi

Meadow 9 welcomes back to Australia Kurt Vile & The Violators (US) who are set to treat crowds to old classics and new gems from Vile’s vibrant yet meditative 2022 album Watch My Moves. Joining Vile, from abroad, is Black Midi (UK) who are limbering up to explode onto the stage with their carefully curated chaos, equal parts intense, absurdist and theatrical. Amongst this expansive line-up there is something for everyone, whether it’s the taut terse brand of rock charged by Jen Cloher’s incisive generous songwriting or tracks that will shake the gum trees from electronic producer Kučka who is no stranger to festivals having shared the stage with Flume at Coachella and multiple headline sets at Dark Mofo and Vivid in 2022 alone. Bringing the entrancing and stomping energy is local heavyweights Cash Savage & The Last Drinks, alongside songs from the raw and restlessly innovative indie duo Big Scary or the unapologetic free flowing bars of underground rapper Agung Mango. For those that flourish in the deepest parts of the night, Meadow’s stage will host some of Australia’s finest selectors and producers after dark. From Sydney, Mall Grab collaborator Loods will bring his series of 2022 dancefloor hits from a European summer stint straight to the Bambra Bowl alongside local favourite Rona and the eclectic sonic stylings of Ayebatonye.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
