GreazeFest , the enormously popular rockabilly spectacular comes around every August and this year it falls on the weekend of Friday 7 August till Sunday 9 August 2015. Timeframes for each day is as follows. Friday August 7 - from 7pm to 12am, Saturday August 8 - from 10am to 10pm and Sunday August 9 - from 11am to 7pm.

Only in its second year in Melbourne, it'll be held at Sandown Racecourse , 591 - 659 Princes Highway, Springvale. These weekends are touted as the utmost kustom kulture events in the southern hemisphere.



Presented by Robot Productions, over 15,000 rock'n'roll fans are expected to roll up for a gigantic dose of ultra kool kustom kulture. The only other state this is held is in Brisbane (in its 16th year there), however, this is about the Melbourne event.

Consider a weekend of cool cars, over 30 international and national performers, djs, fashion parades, pinups, pinstripers, tattoos, vintage bikes and lowrider cycles. Kustom art shows displaying Australian paintings, tiki carvings, metal sculptures, photography and pinstriped works will be on display and workshops will be run. There'll be more than 150 market stalls and a whole lot more.


You'll get more than your fair share of a broad spectrum of eye-catching chrome and metal-flaked dream machines. One of the main highlights is the 2 day Hot Rod Show with more than 700 hot rods driving from across the state and beyond.

The ladies will have a chance to feast their eyes on vintage fashions in action at the GreazeFest Fashion Parades and Pinup Parades. Kustom kulture wardrobes are definitely influenced by the pinups and glamour icons of the 1940s and 1950s. You'll be captivated by rockabilly hairdressers, barbers, tattooists, vintage sellers, clothing specialists, automotive traders, vinyl records sellers, era photographers and yes, there's more.


Headlining the highly anticipated musical program are The Go Getters from Sweden. They describe their custom blend as 'ass kickin', blues-marinated, high-octane, mega-watt rockabilly boogie. From Las Vegas, Nevada will be the savage sounds of Will & The Hi-Rollers. Joining them at the top of the bill is the low down rockin' and-a-reelin New Zealand band Labrettta Suede & The Motel 6 who will deliver a reckless show with a 50's rock n' roll influence not to be missed.


Special guest and california's own 'Master of the Fine Line', Von Hot Rod returns for his 3rd GreazeFeast to lay stripes and kustom lines. Considered in the top of international professionals of pinstriping, he will be conducting special pinstriping workshops for dedicated students.
