Homebake
Homebake is an annual Australian rock festival, featuring an all-Australian lineup (with the occasional artist from New Zealand). The festival was first held on January 4th, 1996 at Belongil Fields in Byron Bay, on the far north coast of New South Wales. The same year saw a second event held at the grounds of the University of Sydney.
The festival returned in January 1998 as an East Coast event happening in Melbourne, the Gold Coast and Sydney. In December of the same year, it was held again in Sydney this time at the Domain. In late 1999 the event went on the road again, but this time to only the Gold Coast and Sydney. In 2000 the festival reverted back to just Sydney, and since then has been held at the Domain every December.
Tickets for the 2006 event sold-out on the first day of going on sale, which was record time for a Homebake festival.
The 2007 Homebake will take place on Saturday the 8th of December, once again at the The Domain. It was announced that the event would be 18+ for the first time in its history. Despite a few upset underages making some noise, Homebake orgainsers explained on Triple J's Hack program that each year the all ages liquor licence was becoming harder to obtain, and compared to their research showing that attenedence for the event by underagers was between 5 to 8% influenced the decision to go 18+.
