Meatstock is returning with barbecues, butcher wars, bourbon and bull runs planned in Sydney. Encouraging folks to mingle, explore and dive into Australia’s biggest smokers and barbecues, Meatstock will return for three days of revelry this April. The festival travelled to Bendigo in Victoria and Toowoomba in Queensland and will soon make its conventional circuits in Sydney. It will take place at the Sydney Showground from April 19-21.
