ROCKBERRY Jam organisers are this week champing at the bit as the third year for the popular event nears.
Despite fears over its long-term viability, ticket sales are looking good and community support from local businesses has been encouraging.
To continue with this positive trend, the Mail and Rockberry Jam have teamed up to offer a top giveaway for readers.
On offer are an incredible five double-passes.
The Jam will again feature a host of Australian rock’s favourite heroes, with Shannon Noll this year headlining much top talent.
Also on the bill will be 90s music legends Pseudo Echo, along with the voices of Boom Crash Opera (Dale Ryder), the Choirboys (Mark Gable) and Taxi Ride (Jason Singh).
AFL music-man Mike ‘Up there Cazaly’ Brady will also round off an impressive line-up.
Silvan Football Club President, Chris Maclagan, who is one of the driving forces behind the event, said punters should have every reason to be excited.
“It’s a great day of Aussie rock,” Mr Maclagan said.
“There are other festivals at wineries around this area, but this is something different.
“It’s close, great value for money and everyone has a great time.”
Mr Maclagan encourages those interested to book their tickets online, which will make it more convenient for concert-goers on the day.
The event will be held at Wandin East Reserve (Old Baker Rd, Wandin East) on Saturday, 27 February, with gates opening at 1pm.
