An impressive line up has been announced, proving this to be one of the annual shining jewels in the Australian boutique festival crown.
Port gets set to deliver the first day of daylight savings and complete escapism in the form of the Wildwood Festival, delivering a carefully handcrafted collective of the best homegrown talent festival people could ask for.
A magical energy radiates from the natural beauty of the forest like surroundings and laid back atmosphere that Wildwood presents, bringing out the best in performers and crowds alike.
It provides the perfect place in which to experience new and familiar sounds over the October long weekend.
Hailed by Santana as “The voice of the street and the band of the future!” Blue King Brown, ARIA nominated artist, is Australia’s premier live urban roots powerhouse.
Their cross generational groove and socially conscious sound is Lead by the multi talented, relentless energy of Natalie Pa’apa’a.
Powerful vocal and lyrical deliveries meet a dance hall, roots, rock and afro groove mash-up built on an irrepressible percussive foundation.
Organiser Simon Leigh says the festival has been growing organically over the past three years with this year’s Wildwood being the biggest and most exciting to date.
“Last year we knew we had reached new heights with the festival which has traditionally been attended by local folks,” he said.
“It’s been so well received we decided to ramp it up a notch and encourage like minded festival people from Brisbane to Sydney to come.
At the conclusion of last years event, the whole forest filled with fireflies as punters were leaving the venue and adults and kids alike were covered from head to toe illuminated in their sparkling aurora.
“It was truly a magical ending to a really special day”.
The event features children's activities and market stalls.
