Orange City Council is pleased to confirm the line-up for Zest Fest 2024 as festivalgoers continue to snap up tickets.
Headlined by ARIA-award-winners The Rubens, the FREE festival will also feature Gordi, Babitha, Jack Biilmann & The Black Tide, ARCHIE and Where's Jimmy.
What makes Zest Fest even more special is the connection these artists have with Orange and the Central West, with most growing up here or attending school in the area, living here or having family in the region.
Gordi is from Canowindra, Babitha lives at Kerrs Creek near Mullion Creek, and ARCHIE lead singer Grant Simpson has family ties to the area.
All the members of Where's Jimmy grew up in the Orange region, as did Jack Biilmann & The Black Tide drummer Jono Warren.
Orange City Council's newly elected Mayor Tony Mileto is excited to see our homegrown talent taking centre-stage.
"Zest Fest is all about celebrating our community, and there's no better way to do that than with musicians who have strong connections to Orange," Cr Mileto said.
It's a great opportunity for the people of Orange to see these homegrown performers showcase their talent on a local stage.
"We expect tickets to book out soon, so I encourage everyone to grab theirs before it's too late."
Zest Fest will be held on Saturday 2 November in Robertson Park, Orange. While tickets are free, registration is essential. Tickets are available online www.zestfest.com.au.
