Cherry Bar has announced its first CherryFest. Get ready for an eclectic rock & roll festival featuring 14 acts across two stages in AC/DC Lane and Cherry Bar on Sunday 25 November from 12 noon. There will be somethin' for anyone that loves sound.
Punters already familiar with CherryRock012 which sold out in April this year will understand the benefits of attending a similar event in the blossom of springtime. Owner James Young explains;
"With the success of our sold-out CherryRock012 Festival in April this year, the sixth of its type, we're super keen to hold another event for the first time in the Spring sunshine and to take advantage of our current deluxe Yarra views before
the 189-apartment 12-storey development is built at the base of AC/DC Lane. Let's host one last incredible rock n roll party in AC/DC Lane, shall we, music lovers of Melbourne? And have we got a mouth-watering
line-up for you."
Thus far the following acts have been announced and apparently there's gonna be nine more to follow. Headlining CherryFest on their very first trip to Australia will be EYEHATEGOD from New Orleans. The Godfathers of Sludge Metal will kill your ears with their legendary heavy detuned bluesy guitar riffs combined with their tortured vocals and walls of feedback. An awesome sonic massage awaits you.
Then there's the progressive psychedelic art rock fusion from the man behind the guitar sound of At The Drive-In and The Mars Volta, as CherryFest welcomes the OMAR RODRIGUEZ-LOPEZ GROUP experimenting in sound never before heard in AC/DC Lane.
From our side of the stump... you can believe it cos yer gonna see it, DERN RUTLIDGE are back for a reunion extravaganza that will make you wonder why they weren't . Add to that tasty selection MY LEFT BOOT, who will have a brand new album to launch and the s ever-charismatic HENRY WAGONS with something special to offer...
Stay tuned for the other nine acts to come!!!!!
