For the first time, this year’s festival will cram three days of festivities into four venues, with the Saturday line bill splitting in twain between beloved neighbouring city-fringe venues, the John Curtin Hotel and Public Bar. As well as stops at Richmond’s Corner Hotel, and the Weekender’s spiritual home, Footscray’s Reverence Hotel.
Along with Knapsack, fellow US fuzz-lords Pity Sex are making the trip over to join the incredibly stacked bill of local champions, headed up by The Bennies, Luca Brasi, Harmony, The Gifthorse, and The Smith Street Band’s frontman, Wil Wagner.
The Weekender takes place on August 22nd, 23rd and 24th. Tickets go on sale Thursday, April 17th through Poison City Records.
Pin your badges to your jackets, trim your beards, and cut the sleeves off all your shirts. It’s party time!
