Hi Sarah,
I’ll pass this query on to a couple of festival organisers. There is a list of Australian bluegrass festivals on this site also – see the tab above or use this link https://australianbluegrass.com/?page_id=2193
Which festival would depend on what time of year you are planning to travel to Oz.
Good Afternoon,
My Name is Sarah FItzmaurice. My twin sister Maria and I front for the up and coming, energetic Bluegrass group, Fitzmaurice Band. I would like some information on as to what festivals/ theaters are available for my band to play over there. Any information you have is helpful. Thank you for your time.
