Meatstock Festival Sydney 2025 Dates, Tickets, Program & BBQ Food
In April 2025, Meatstock will be back at the Sydney Showground for its 8th year! The Jack Daniel’s live stage, at the heart of the festival, will host a sensational lineup of musical talent.
But Meatstock isn’t just about the music. It’s a celebration of the art of barbecue. Meatstock is home to the biggest lineup of Barbecue Experts and Pitmasters ever assembled in Australia.
Apart from the meat and music, Meatstock promises an action-packed festival experience. Back again for some heart-pounding thrills, The Professional Bull Riding will be showcasing at all Australian Meatstock events, where cowboys brave the toughest 8 seconds in sports.
For those with a hearty appetite, check out the Competitive Eating Zone, which features the sausage sizzle throwdown, burger eating contests, and hot wing challenges.
Enrol or spectate in the Beard and Mo Wars, Mullet Comps, and Dad Bod Contests for alternative hilarious showdowns. And, of course, Meatstock wouldn’t be complete without its legendary Butcher Wars and Barbecue Wars, along with the ultimate test of strength in Strongman and Woman – showcasing Australia’s mightiest athletes. It’s a mixed bag of eclectic entertainment and stand-offs you cannot see anywhere else.
Each vendor offers a different menu. Most plate/meal prices range from about $20 to $40, depending on the amount and type. Some vendors also make mega or jumbo boxes that feed more than one person. It is suggested that you come to the festival with a few friends and share meals so you can try as much as possible over the day.
Tap-to-pay, EFTPOS, Cash (selected areas), and ATMs will be available.
