This year was the Silver Jubilee for Meredith Music Festival. Given what a spectacle the festival has become, it’s hard to believe that it was once just a stage on the back of a truck in the countryside with 200 or so people.

Now the festival is a drawcard for a wide range of both local and international acts, spanning a wide spectrum of genres.

Meredith is the kind of festival that’s pencilled into the diary as soon as the last one has finished. Its 25th year confirmed to us why the people come year after year.
