“Welcome back to Out On The Weekend for it’s third magical year. Melbourne has always had a strong association with the twangy sounds of Alt-Country and the Americana genre, so it’s fitting to see such a strong presence of incredible local talent plus international stars taking the stages at the beautiful Seaworks site in seaside Williamstown. For those that know, it’s a grand day of excellent sounds, good times and sparkling services and we expect to see you again. For those that don’t, come join the party this October. It’ll be a blast. Guaranteed.” – BT, Love Police.
Headlining Out On The Weekend in 2016 will be multiple award-winning New Zealand singer-songwriter Marlon Williams & the Yarra Benders.
Also appearing in 2016 will be frequent visitor Robert Ellis who recently released his self-titled album is a beauty – see my review.
