Rockalonga spirit returns at Silverwoods

Paired with the electrifying Blitz Golf event, this will be one of the biggest entertainment weekends Yarrawonga has seen in decades.

Headlining the After Dark stage is Australian music icon Diesel, supported by an incredible lineup including Taxiride feat. Jason Singh, Natasha, Jade Gibson, and DJ Grand Master Baitz. With star power like this, After Dark is poised to become a must-attend annual event.

The festivities kick off with Blitz Golf, Australia's fastest-growing golf entertainment phenomenon.

This action-packed format blends rapid-fire competition, celebrity players and festival vibes — and it’s finally making its debut in Yarrawonga.

Fans can expect an afternoon bursting with energy, complete with live music, DJs, food trucks, bars and interactive fun across the entire precinct.

Silverwoods Resort manager Justin Peters said the vision has always been to bring something extraordinary to the region.

“The idea of combining live entertainment and golf just made sense — it’s the direction the sport is heading, and it’s what people want,” he said.

“The support we’ve had has been incredible. Everyone we approached wanted to be involved. Now, after months of planning, we’re ready to go.

Mr Peters added that part of their strategy is to strengthen ties with the Yarrawonga–Mulwala community.

“We want to have a calendar of events through the year that attracts people not just from this region, but from much more broadly,” he said.

Jen Severn, Group General Manager of Lotus Living, said the event aims to revive Yarrawonga’s rich entertainment heritage while showcasing the region to a national audience.

“Yarrawonga has always been known for amazing live entertainment — Rockalonga was iconic,” she said.

“We want to bring that magic back. People already come for the water, the lifestyle and the golf. Now we’re giving them another reason to stay longer and explore more.”

The After Dark concert will take place at Pelican Cove, a stunning 16,000m² waterfront site opposite The Sebel Resort — an unbeatable backdrop for a summer evening under the stars.

To ensure smooth access for visitors, organisers are planning shuttle buses, public parking at Zest Village and efficient traffic management. Full details will be released soon.

Food and drink options will be plentiful, with food trucks, resort pop-ups and beverage stations spread throughout the grounds.

The family-friendly environment will offer something for everyone — from casual festival-goers to guests seeking exclusive corporate hospitality inside premium marquees.

Blitz Golf will feature 24 competitors, including six celebrity players, soon to be announced. Only four will make it to the final showdown on the 18th hole — all within a thrilling three-hour event.

Local rising stars will also have their shot at glory, with the first qualifying round on December 15, where one lucky local will secure a place in the main Blitz event on January 25.
