First there was Sunbury Pop, then there was Woodstock. Now 50 years later, Sunbury Pop is set to return.
Between 1972 and 1975, residents from across the state gathered at a small patch of land between Sunbury and Diggers Rest.
They gathered for Australia’s biggest music festival at the time- Sunbury Pop Festival.
The rumor mill has been spinning in over time, and Hume council has confirmed this slice of Sunbury history is returning in 2024 to make its mark on the Australian music scene.
The festival attracted tens of thousands of music fans to catch a glimpse of their musical heroes, including the likes of Queen, AC/DC, The 69’ers and more.
While no headliners have been announced, Sunbury’s very own save the date has been set for Saturday, April 13.
So block out your calendar, take work off and tell your parents you can’t make dinner that night, everyone is meeting at The Nook on Vaughan Street for a return that has been half a century in the making.
See next week’s Star Weekly for more details on the event.
More information including tickets, lineup, activities and more will also be released on Hume council’s Facebook page.
