Traditionally, on the first night of the concert after the campers are all settled, we open up the main stage to amateur performers. This is not a karaoke session, but your chance to perform a number or three in front of a supportive audience.
We welcome you to perform, if you want to, and suggest you get in touch with organiser Tim Gow ahead of time to ensure you’ll have everything you need available and to put you onto the timetable. Or, if you’re really nervous, just come prepared and MC Craig Smith may open the floor to anyone interested, if there is time.
There's no pressure if on the night you decide not to perform. Our headline acts will put on mini-performances if there's a gap in the proceedings.
Last year we had a mixed bag, with some performers who are good enough to be professional, and others who were singing or playing just for the joy of it, or as a dare. In addition, some of our feature artists gave impromptu mini-performances. You can read all about one of our previous Open Mic Nights here.
Remember gate tickets are limited and close to new entries at 5:45 pm, so please buy your tickets online.
