Meatstock is back for more BBQ, Bands, and Bedlam!
Meatstock 2025 is bigger and better than ever, returning with a fun-filled sensory explosion on 14-15 March in Bendigo. Set across two huge days, each event celebrates the best of barbecue culture, live music, and unforgettable good times.
“Meatstock is a weekend of like-minded music and barbecue-crazed people, with lots of families hanging out, camping together, and enjoying amazing, authentic barbecue, great music, and really fun entertainment. The energy is amazing!” enthused Jay Beaumont, Director of Meatstock.
The Jack Daniel’s live stage features international country superstars alongside some of Australia’s finest music talent. Friday kicks off with performances by Brad Cox, Seaforth, Lane Pittman, Bella Mackenzie, and Sammy White. On Saturday, the festival’s headliners — Chase Rice (USA), Oliver Anthony (USA), and Redferrin (USA) — will rock the stage, joined by Australia’s very own Taylor Moss, Melanie Dyer, The Wet Whistles, and Dakota East.
After a hugely successful inaugural year in New Zealand, Fire Kitchen is now in Bendigo! Some of the world's best Pitmasters will serve barbecue-tasting dishes, all cooked over live fire. Fire Kitchen features one of the world's most preeminent live fire chefs, Marcos Livi from Brazil, joined by pitmasters from the USA, Canada, and New Zealand.
In the BBQ pit yard, national and international teams will battle it out in the Heat Beads BBQ Wars, vying for the title of best in their specific protein category. Meanwhile, the butchers will showcase their skills in the meat-filled showdown, the Butcher Wars.
The competition never stops at Meatstock! Don’t miss the infamous Better Beer Dad Bod Contest, the Beard and Mo Wars, or the always-exciting Australia’s Strongest Man and Woman competition. From muscle-popping Arm Battles to the crowd-favorite Sausage Sizzle Throwdown, there’s action at every turn.
Need a break from the heat of competition? Check out the Big Rig Rumble, featuring some of the country’s most impressive trucks. Explore the extensive BBQ expo to find everything you need to enhance your at-home barbecue setup or even get inked at the on-site tattoo station.
Accommodation is a breeze at Meatstock, with nearby hotels, local B&Bs, or the option to camp on-site. Caravans, RVs, and traditional camping are all available at the venue, making it easy to stay close to the action.
As the sun sets, get ready for an epic fire show that will light up the night, followed by a spectacular fireworks display. Meatstock is the ultimate celebration of barbecue culture and a carnivore’s dream! Don’t miss out on Australia’s biggest barbecue and music festival.
