Despite tumultuous weather, rivalled only by Hurricane Katrina at Trackside Festival in 2008, the all Aussie line-up was a huge day with highlights including Cut Copy, Something with Numbers and Sparkadia. And in 2009, Trackside promises an equally stellar line-up. Saturday 21 November it all kicks off again at Thoroughbred Park, Canberra Racecourse with 2007 headliners Hilltop Hoods coming back to do it all again.

Canberra’s only all ages rock festival is set to be bigger and better than last year, “There will be more bars, pro wrestling, carnival rides, international food fair, markets and more!” says Allan Sko, man behind the festival.
