Shannon Noll, a new addition to the festival said, “The first ever Campfire Festival’s going to be a fantastic opportunity for people to see a great showcase of Australian musicians and I’m really excited to be sharing the stage with so many talented people. It’ll be a top weekend in the Hunter for everyone who comes along”.
CAMPFIRE FESTIVAL’s ethos is to bring people together to spend quality time with family and friends, while having the opportunity to do as much (or as little) as you please, including a new luxury camping option with HOPE ESTATE’s beautiful vineyard setting as the backdrop.
The CAMPFIRE FESTIVAL will host a number of entertainment precincts including the main amphitheatre which will feature two stages – the main stage playing host to a line-up of established Australian stars and a 2nd stage showcasing a mix of emerging and well-known artists.
CAMPFIRE FESTIVAL will also be giving ten musical artists the opportunity to perform on the amphitheatre’s second stage and in the Campfire Zone, to be chosen via an online vote giving up-and-coming performers a chance to shine in front of a big audience. Further details, terms and conditions of this exciting initiative will be listed on www.campfirefestival.com.au.
