But Meatstock isn’t just about the music; it's a meat lover's utopia featuring Black Iron Smokers to Flaming Grills, bull riding, sausage sizzle throwdowns, Dad Bod contests – they've got it all. Beard and Moe Wars? Check. Mullet Comps? Double-check.
Flip further through for exclusive interviews with Fanny Lumsden, Black Pumas, Ainslie Wills, and a backstage pass to Sofar Sounds. Plus, the usual suspects – album reviews, artsy stuff, and a guide to the best gigs in town.
And because we're feeling all festive, there's a local gift guide to save you from last-minute Christmas panic.
No frills, no fuss – just the good stuff.
