Deep in the Weeds

DEEP IN THE WEEDS 2024
We are super excited to announce that Watty Thompson and his Total Fire Band will headline Deep in the Weeds Festival on Saturday 20th July, closing the 2024 East Gippsland Winter Festival with a bang! 

As our new Dunetown venue is a little way off, we are stoked to be collaborating with The Marlo Hotel to bring you DITW 24!
But you will be able to book Dunetown tours on the 20th & 21st July

More details to come soon but here is the Full music lineup: 

Headliner – Watty Thompson and his Total Fire Band
“A reckoning of contemporary Australian country folk and baroque bush rock ’n’ roll” – Post to Wire
Enigmatic powerhouse, Barmah-born Watty Thompson is emerging as a striking and entirely unique performer-songwriter in Australia’s storytelling tradition. A little bit country, a little bit folk, and 100% heart, Watty’s high-energy sets impress upon those in attendance an increasingly rare skill: the ability to lay bare and embrace the highs and lows of everything that makes us human.

Supported by an amazing lineup:

Harry Hook is Real 
Fenn Wilson
Olivia Lay
Megan Kennedy

What to eat:

We are stoked to be hosting one of the first outings of Wild Pie by Jo Barrett, The Age Good Food Guide 2024 Chef of the Year!
