Mark your calendars because GreazeFest is back bigger than ever! Celebrating its 26th year with three unforgettable days of vintage cool, classic cars, and rip-roaring live music at the Redland Showgrounds, you truly won’t want to miss this festival.
Between the hot rods, rockabilly riffs, pin-up perfection and hairspray, you’ll be transported to the most effortlessly cool era thanks to what has become Australia’s longest-running and most iconic Rockabilly and Kustom Kulture festival.
This year’s line-up features an Australian and international music program, with 20 live bands and DJs spinning rockabilly, rock’n’roll and vintage beats. The massive dance floor will be packed with jivers, strollers and rock and rollers ready to boogie all weekend long, so have your Blue Suede Shoes at the ready.
Whether you’re a car lover or not, you’ll want to pay a visit to the Hot Rod Show, as more than 400 enthusiasts from across Australia show off their candy-coloured and chrome dream machines. American and Australian classics through to the 1970s will be on show, plus vintage motorbikes, hot rods and muscle cars, with all entrants competing for GreazeFest Trophies.
This year, the festival will be awarding ten “GreazeFest Show Choice” trophies, where 10 standout vehicles on display at the show will receive trophies for capturing the spirit of GreazeFest and kustom kulture. It’s all about celebrating the vehicles that showcase passion and fuel this retro lifestyle.
Saturday, August 1 will feature an opportunity to strut your stuff at the Pinup Party, where fun, fashion, and fabulous IG-worthy pics will rule supreme, all with a sexy ‘Leopard Spots Forever’ theme!
The bands and DJs won’t be the only artists in attendance! In fact, GreazeFest includes a whole Art Show, and the theme this year is Vintage Sign Art. Over 70 Australian artists will be resurrecting the classic signs of the past, from garage signs and shop advertising, to fashion, food, and bar signage, turning them into works of art in support of long-time GreazeFest charity partner the RSPCA. Plus, the public will be able to vote on all creations, and even purchase them!
And, if you’ve got little ones with you, there will be a Little Greazers area open on Saturday and Sunday: the perfect place for young rockers to have a blast! With jumping castles, face painting and lots of creative entertainment, it’ll keep the kids busy and parents sane.
