Spring Loaded Festival 2021

Rock n Roll returns with a bang at Randwick Racecourse.

With line-ups built around iconic Australian alternative acts, Spring Loaded pays homage to 90s music festival greats such as Big Day Out and Homebake. With endless lockdown and restrictions, it’s been a looooong time since Sydney hosted a rock and roll festival, so it’s safe to say anticipation levels were high. The stacked first leg of the Australian tour, featuring Tumbleweed, Jebediah, Magic Dirt and Grinspoon, took place in Sydney yesterday at Royal Randwick Racecourse.

It did not disappoint…
