Red Hill Entertainment in partnership with Greater Shepparton City Council and Shepparton Show Me are excited to officially announce “Land of Plenty” – a brand new one-day, all ages major music festival taking over the Shepparton Showgrounds on Saturday 2 November.
Land of Plenty is a destination festival that will see some of Australia’s hottest bands and DJs as well as talented upcoming local artists hit Shepparton for a day of live music, art displays, market stalls, gourmet food vans and carnival rides. Land of Plenty has something for everyone and encouragesfans and music lovers of all ages to attend.
The local community and their enthusiasm for a music festival to be held in Shepparton inspired the festival name and artwork. With an overwhelming 500+ survey submissions from locals wanting to help name and shape the hometown event, Land of Plenty was born.

It includes a wide mix of genres, from hip hop, through to rock and indie, whilst the two headlining acts have previously featured in the coveted triple j Hottest 100 countdown fifteen times, and each have even featured in the Top 10.
As well as featuring some of Australia’s biggest bands, Land of Plenty is giving one lucky local Shepparton act the chance to perform on the Land of Plenty big stage.
