Millicent is set to stage Rock on the Rails again in 2025 with the capacity almost trebling to 1000.
Rock on the Rails was staged for 10 hours on December 7 in the former Millicent railyards and drew an appreciative and capacity audience of 400.
It is a grass-roots music festival which celebrated live and local music for all ages and was a fundraiser for community radio station 5THE FM which leases the station building
The outdoors concert featured several live acts and all performers donated their time.
Pop-up food and beverage stalls were on-site and many concert goers proudly wore custom-printed “Rock on the Rails” T-shirts.
Personnel from Teagles Excavations prepared the ground while security fencing was lent by Wattle Range Council.
The council also provided a cash grant.
5THE FM board chairman David Walshaw said there was a great demand for tickets and plans were in place for a much larger capacity in 2025.
