Former Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s favourite band will be taking the stage on the Saturday night, diving deep into their discography to deliver a glorious musical mashup of nostalgic hits and fan faves.

Also on the music lineup, multi-MO award winner Peter Byrne will be bringing his ‘Forever Diamond’

tribute show ‘Forever Diamond’ to the stage, delivering a 50-year tribute to the music of Neil Diamond, while celebrity judge Emma Watkins AKA “Emma Wiggle” will also be on the scene to judge the new “Hessians on the Field” pet competition.

The proud agricultural town’s annual potato festival boasts a spud-tacular roster of celebrity chefs (including inaugural MasterChef series winner Julie Goodwin), as well as seminars, workshops, competitions and live music.
