The festival is a family friendly event, with children welcome to attend many of scheduled performances. There will be something for every music lover, with a variety of musical styles and performances.
The festival used to be held in February, however has now moved to October which makes for cooler spring weather with wildflowers and a beautiful green backdrop of the Grampians National Park.

Hi Rosemary,

As for the program schedule, the organisers have advised that there are various issues which are waiting to be solved (manpower, venues,etc) before registrations will be open. Once that is sorted out, I expect they will update their online information and I will update our page.

would it be possible to obtain a list of bands please
Hi John,
Here is a link to the 2017 lineup of artists.
Have a great time at the Halls Gap Jazz Blues Festival!
Jess
Hi Jess,
As a musician (with quintet, Vested Interest – Sunday at noon, Kookaburra Hotel; 3pm at Spirit of Punjab) I would like to confirm stage equipment provided. In other words, what will we need to bring (apart from our instruments)? I expect a drum kit is provided and so our drummer will need to bring only sticks, brushes, cymbals and stool. Our violinist and vocalist has a DI (for violin) to connect with PA system – will the mixers have sufficient inputs for vocals x 3, plus keyboard, sax and bass? I am the bassist and will have my small amp in the car for back-up in case none is supplied.
Thanking you,
Christian
Hi Christian,
You need to get in touch with the organisers to confirm details. That isn’t me unfortunately!
