Hot BBQ

CS - 22 Nov 2007

Future Entertainment presents The Hot Barbeque, Australia’s most majestic summer music experience.

The Hot Barbeque music and arts festival will offer a boutique and artistically unique alternative to the myriad existing events in the Australian festival landscape.

The Hot Barbeque will be presented annually on New Years Day at Melbourne’s Birrarung Marr on the verdant banks of the Yarra River, and will embrace a rarefied mix of organic and futuristic live music to create a hot and bubbling melting pot of indie, funk, hip hop, rock n roll, electro, funk, soul and more.

Operating from midday through to 10pm, the festival will embody a commitment to arts culture and top of the line production standards to create a new breed of open-air event within the City of Melbourne. Capacity will be strictly limited to ensure everyone can enjoy the day comfortably and there will be first class facilities to ensure a boutique experience – no waiting, no queues and no disappointments!

The Hot Barbeque will combine a highly diverse blend of local and international live performance artists, grounded firmly in the glowing heart of the left field, alternative and eclectic. The musical program aims to describe Melbourne’s own musical characteristics and cosmopolitan spirit combining influences from rock to the spoken word to magnificent dub-reggae, electro, minimal and beyond.
