Hi Emma,
The Long Creek Roundup at R10 Venue in Coles Island is on 25 July 2020. Last year’s headliner was Easton Corbin supported by Southern Halo and Tristan Horncastle. Next year’s bill hasn’t been announced yet but there’s a definite buzz around it. Will you be adding it to your listing?
Hi Brian!
Thanks for your message and the Long Creek Roundup 2020 has been added to the festival listing.
All the best,
Emma
