Grounded Festival launched in 2019 as an expansion of Goulburn Valley’s Secret Garden performances. The festival celebrates regional artists and original compositions.

Organisers describe it as a love story to land, art and community. The event transforms Dookie Quarry into a unique music destination.

The quarry setting distinguishes Grounded Festival from other Australian music events. The natural amphitheatre carved into the landscape creates an intimate atmosphere. Artists and audiences connect with the land and Country. The venue demands reverence whilst showcasing powerful musical performances.

This year’s lineup emphasises Australian talent with established and emerging artists.

The Lineup

The Meltdown brings their energetic rock sound to the quarry stage.

Duo Sam & Sam deliver their distinctive harmonies and acoustic arrangements.

Eurovision’s Isaiah Firebrace headlines with his powerful vocals. 

This Way North represents the festival’s commitment to showcasing diverse regional talent. Kaitlyn Martin adds her unique artistic voice to the proceedings. The Wildlings complete the musical lineup with their dynamic performance style. Yorta Yorta elder Auntie Pam will provide Welcome to Country.

The festival operates annually but no two festivals are the same. Grounded emphasises connection between artists, audiences and landscape. Regional talent development remains central to the event’s mission. The quarry location provides natural acoustics and a dramatic visual backdrop.

Ticket information and additional lineup announcements will follow in coming weeks.

Early supporters receive priority access through the festival’s community networks.
