One Electric Day

As it heads into its seventh year, one of Melbourne’s favourite one-day festivals, One Electric Day, is going national. In an exciting coup for music-lovers, the all-Aussie rock festival, which has sold out annually since its inception, will be also heading to Launceston, Sydney, Brisbane and the Barossa in November and December this year. Headlined by the incomparable John Farnham with special guests James Reyne, Jon Stevens, Vanessa Amorosi, The Black Sorrows, and a special reformation by Southern Sons, these are shows that no music fan should miss.

One Electric Day launched in Melbourne in 2013 and was a sell-out. In recent years, tickets have been snapped up within minutes of the show going on sale, making it one of the most highly anticipated music events on the Victorian calendar. Each year the 10,000-plus crowd rock out to some of the biggest names on the touring circuit today. Organised by the promoters who bring Australian audiences the revered Red Hot Summer Tour annually, One Electric Day always bills the best of the best.

Promoter Duane McDonald says he is excited to expand One Electric Day nationally in 2019. "There is always such a buzz around the Melbourne show,” he says. “It sells out very quickly in Werribee, and every year we get requests from interstate on when we will be bringing One Electric Day further afield. This is such an exciting opportunity for us to share some of Australia’s best talent with audiences around Australia, and we are stoked to be launching the national One Electric Day series with John Farnham. We expect audiences in Launceston, Sydney, Brisbane and the Barossa will embrace One Electric Day the same way Victorian music-lovers have and help us make this an annual event in their towns! Let’s get rockin’."
