Just weeks after announcing that US artist MJ Lenderman & The Wind would be appearing as an international guest at its final outing, beloved Victorian festival Meadow has unveiled the full lineup for its upcoming event.
The 2025 edition of Meadow will return to the Bambra Bowl from March 21 – 23, for the tenth and final installation of the festival.
Alongside the previously-announced Lenderman, the last edition of Meadow will feature Hiatus Kaiyote and Pond at the top of the bill, alongside the likes of Kaiit, Floodlights, and US acts Empress Of and Marcellus Pittman.
The lineup also includes local favourites such as ORB, dameeeela, Osmosis Jones, Eggy, Armlock, Big Yawn, and Empress (not to be confused with Empress Of, higher up the bill). In addition to Japanese artist Chee Shimizu, the lineup is rounded out by Miles Nautu, Proto Moro, Pop Filter, Annie-Rose Maloney, and Npcede.
The final lineup is still set to expand though, given the announcement of The Retreat Creek Hotel, an opportunity for rural artists to apply to perform at the event.
With applications opening on Deceber 11th, ten local acts will be in with a chance to perform at the new stage adjacent to the bar, while one lucky act will score a feature spot on the main stage as part of the Retreat Creek Hotel Presents program.

The beloved Meadow festival has spent the last decade becoming a favourite of Victorian music fans thanks to its intimate existence and the intense, tight-knit community it fostered.
“From little things, something bigger grows and then disappears again,” organisers said. “So, this is it. The last lap.
“From our beginnings, on the back of a delivery truck, powered by a borrowed generator, in a mate's paddock in Bambra. Meadow grew,” they added. “And now it disappears again.”
Tickets to the final edition of Meadow are on sale now.
