The Rise & Fall of Easterfest is a celebration of the Easterfest and Australian Gospel Music Festivals, that ran for almost two decades in Toowoomba.
You can’t have a music festival without the music and that’s what the focus is in this episode.
What did the Australian Christian music scene look like in the late 90s and early 2000s?
How did local artists help AGMF grow in the early years? And how did the festival help artists who had aspirations to take their music overseas?
You’ll hear new interviews and archive material from some of the artists who graced the festival’s stages over the years.
Keep those nostalgic vibes going with our special Easterfest and AGMF playlist on Spotify.
