Festival attendees can unwind at the newly introduced Bulldust Bar, where they can enjoy the signature Ride ‘Em Gambler cocktail while playing corn hole between sets from artists like Cooper Alan and MacKenzie Porter. Ridin’ Hearts will also offer mouthwatering BBQ options, including burgers and brisket, with iconic Mary’s providing their must-try burgers for General Admission and Diamond Club ticket holders in Sydney.
Another exciting addition to the festival is the Sparkle Station, your one-stop glitter shop, featuring face gems and beard glitter to ensure your festival photos shine.

Festivalgoers can explore market stalls along Lasso Lane, showcasing independent vendors offering handmade items and chic Western fashion. Attendees can even brand their own hats with Brixton and check out the iconic Aussie Footy Shorts stall in Melbourne.
