We can’t tell if we are dreaming or if this is actually happening. In the vegan, organic, non GMO, hormone free, free range world that we live in you would think this sort of event is to never exist. Introducing, Meatstock. An event focused on bringing people together to feast on animals and listen to music.

  • Bands
  • Barbecues

Co-organiser Jay Beaumont said there is more to Meatstock than what you can put on a fork.“It’s five events in one big battle ground,” he said.“We have Barbecue Wars, Butcher Wars, Barber Wars, the Meat and Barbecue Expo and our awesome line-up of Blues and Country bands. Barbecue is definitely a hot trend at the moment but we think Sydney is screaming out for a festival that has a distinctly Australian flavour.”

On the day you can expect more meat than you can eat, cooking classes, vendor stalls, cooking battles, good music and a family atmosphere. Every adult ticket also admits one child.

Tickets cost $26 and can be purchased from meatstock.com.au – See you there!
