Event Description
10th Nukara Music Festival

Nine amazing Nukara Music Fest's have whizzed by pretty quickly and the celebratory 10th Nukara Music Festival is coming up on Saturday 21st March 2015.


Confirmed so far to celebrate an awesome achiuevement out at the beautiful Nukara Farm will be the band that 'saved the fest', Blue Shaddy and their whirlpool of foot stomping infectious energy.


From Houston, Texas the man who owns any stage Eugene 'Hideaway' Bridges is looking forward to giving us another 'lesson' on real American Blues. Bridges was born into the Blues with his father a seasoned bluesman Hideaway Slim and his mother was related to Tina Turner. Just think Sam Cooke & B.B King when you see/listen to Eugene 'Hideaway' Bridges!


The Dave Mann Collective played the 1st festival and are a welcome return playing their brand of timeless rock/roots/folk.


Although BOOM! BAP! POW! haven't played an NMF, they did blow everyone away at the last Nukara Rhythm & Fire Fest and they'll bringing some great soul/rock n roll back to the bush.


Gina Williams and Guy Ghouse played their 1st festival at Nukara MF and have since travelled all over Australia with their smooth Noongar language tunes very fitting for the Nukara environment.


Melbourne's The Go Set was a popular call from punters to return for their 3rd NMF with their original take on Punk/Folk. Just think of bagpipes, mandolin meshed with drums and guitar. A great mixture of folk/rock/punk that will have you tapping your feet and next minute jumping like a mad man.


Morgan Bain just had to  be asked to come back after his stellar debut at the last NMF. recognised not only for his incredible vocals but also for pushing the limits of his 6 and 12 string guitars, powerful blues harmonica and more recently rocking out ok keys as well, his talent is unmistakable and makes for captivating raw performances and a sensibility that showcases his skills in the Blues/Roots/Rock genre.

Long time volunteer and main stage hand at Nukara, Beck Tuesley well deserves another slot for her 1st time on the new stage with her sweet folk/pop!


Bands kick off at 4pm (Gates open 2:30pm) through to 1:30am and immediately followed by Swiss DJVB with his groovn' House/Techno on the Creek Stage to 3am to wind us down.


Sunday's Recoverery Breakfast (8-11am) will have more live acts including The Inks ($10 B'fast). And Geraldton Coffee Van will be in da house!

This will be a special memorable anniversary looking back over the past 9 years with some other surprises!

ABOUT 
NUKARA MUSIC FESTIVAL
(3rd Sat in March each year)

The Nukara Music Festival is held on Nukara Farm amongst the scenic and rich farmlands and flat top hills of the Chapman Valley 30 kilometers north east of Geraldton near Nanson, from 4pm - 1am (gates open 2:30pm).

The festival setting isvery unique for the area having an abundance of native vegetation areas and River Red Gums which line the natural spring fed creek. Everyone who comes to Nukara Farm is overwhelmed by its beauty!

Add to the over 8hrs of various live original Roots music on a balmy night, along with overnight camping, homemade tast food BYO drinks, it’s no wonder this is the most popular outdoor venue in the Mid West with the last few years of festivals selling out over a week beforehand.

Sunday Mornings Recovery Breakfast is also becoming a popular way to slowly start the day with more gentle live music included with all the yummy healthy food.

No children under 16 please due to water & safety hazards!
