Survey open to name new music festival

Creating an event for the community, Red Hill wants the residents of Greater Shepparton to get involved and have their say on this exciting new music festival.

Residents will have the chance to name the festival, suggest artists and acts they would like to see perform and also provide feedback on other activities they would like to see feature at the festival.

Greater Shepparton City Council Director Sustainable Development, Geraldine Christou said the festival will be unique to the region.

“This is an event that belongs to the community therefore we are giving residents the opportunity to shape this festival to be iconic to the region,” she said.

“With expectations of attracting more than 2,000 attendees in the first year we want there to be something at the festival for everyone to enjoy.”

Co-Director of Red Hill Aidan McLaren said they are looking forward to developing a show in the region.

“We are keen to hear from the local area on what they'd love the festival to be,” Mr McLaren said.

“We'd love people to take a moment to fill out the online survey telling us which Australian bands they'd most love to see play, which ages they think the festival should be targeted at, and what entertainment other than live music they would like to see included.

“Anyone who completes the survey goes in the running for a free VIP double pass provided by Red Hill Entertainment to the inaugural event.”

The online survey is now open and will run until Friday 7 December and can be found here.

The large scale music event will occur at the Shepparton Showgrounds on 2 November 2019.
