Off the back of extraordinary ticket sales for the first three Wildflower events announced last month, Empire Touring and TEG LIVE are elated to announce the addition of Craigmoor Wines, Mudgee to the run of Wildflower shows for 2022, a music festival that will bring together some of Australia’s most prized female singer songwriters at some of the country’s most exquisite locations. Celebrating women in music and the return of the live scene, the Mudgee lineup will feature Missy Higgins, Kasey Chambers, Kate Miller-Heidke, Sarah Blasko, Deborah Conway, Alice Skye and Georgia June. The festival will take over Rochford Wines in the Yarra Valley on March 12, before moving on to Riverstage in Brisbane on March 19, Roche Estate in the Hunter Valley on April 2 and Craigmoor Wines in Mudgee on October 29.
Tickets to Mudgee go on sale at www.wildflowerfestivalaustralia.com.au at 9am AEDT on Wednesday 17 November, with a 48 hour Empire Touring presale live at 9am AEDT on Monday 15 November.
“I’m beyond thrilled to be a part of Wildflower. All the women involved are total inspirations and some were actually really big influences on me in the early days of my career,” enthuses Missy Higgins. “I’m looking forward to travelling to the beautiful little NSW town of Mudgee, and performing alongside such a stellar lineup of Australian women. This is going to be a really special show.”
“The line-up contains some of my musical and personal heroes, as well as some dear friends, and it’s going to be unforgettable not just for the audience but for us as well,” beams Kate Miller-Heidke, who will kick off her rescheduled Child In Reverse tour in July 2022. “It’s been a rough couple of years, and I can’t think of a more beautiful catharsis than being a part of this festival. It’s impossible for me to overstate how much I’m looking forward to it. Humans need connection. Wildflower will be a celebration of everything that brings people together. I’m actually choking up slightly at the mere thought of it!”
Masterminded by Empire Touring’s General Manager, Isobel Lanesman, the empowered businesswoman effuses, “Wildflower is here to celebrate women in music, many festival lineups have an underrepresentation of women. It is a time to celebrate women in Australian music – artists, producers, and designers – collaborating to bring together a show of extraordinary talents.”
Tickets to Wildflower go on sale at www.wildflowerfestivalaustralia.com.au at 9am AEDT on Wednesday 17 November.
Wildflower will be held with a commitment to a COVID Safe environment. Festival organisers will work closely with and comply with all requirements of the public health authorities. If the show is required to be postponed, a postponement date will be announced and punters will be eligible for a full refund if they are unable to make the new date.
