Tallangatta Fifties Festival...
ON THE LAST WEEKEND IN OCTOBER, the township of Tallangatta is Australia's home of Rock 'n' Roll. Tallangatta is located in North East Victoria & was relocated in the mid-50's - a time when Frankie J Holden & the FJ Holden car were cruising around town looking for a good Rock 'n' Roll night out.
The Bodgies & Widgies wore their leathers & Winkle Pickers, & Elvis was shaking his pelvis like no other. 50's chicks wore the beehive hairdo, bobby socks, twin sets & scarves - & Tupperware parties were all the rage!
The 50's were a time when a good pot of Bushells tea was shared amongst friends over the red or green laminex table, while tuning into the wireless to hear the latest hits from the likes of Johnny Young, Lonny Lee, Normie Rowe, Johnny Chester, Little Pattie & many more Aussie & overseas artists.
The 50's was a time when home was sweet home, & Rock 'n' Roll was about to change the world.
Join thousands of Rock'n'Roll enthusiasts from all over the country for a non-stop Rock 'n' Roll weekend - wear your 50's gear & twist and groove all weekend baby!
There's classic cars, motorcycles, non-stop Rock 'n' Roll dancing, world class entertainment, 50's fashion parades, busking, art show - & so much more!

Dean Vegas

We saw Dean performing at last year's Tallangatta Festival - & he was an absolute "Knock Out".
It comes as no surprise at all, that Dean has been invited again to perform at the 2007 Fesival.

The Speedsters
 |
This legendary Rock’n’Roll band has performed with The Drifters, Lee Conway, Gene Pitney, Roy Orbison, The Platters, Gerry & the Pacemakers, Freddy & the Dreamers.
The Speedsters will keep the dancers rock'n'rolling all night long on Saturday night - & will also perform live on Sunday to keep you rocking.

Dean Vegas
 |
THE WORLD'S No. 1 Elvis tribute artist, Dean Vegas, performed live, shaking his pelvis & singing just like the real King of Rock'n'Roll.
Dean Vegas was voted the World's Number One Elvis in July 2000 at the biggest Elvis Festival held outside the USA, in Canada. Dean has been performing nationally & internationally, wowing audiences with his Elvis spectacular tribute.
Throughout his energized Vegas-style show, audiences not only share the hits from Elvis's amazing career, but also experience the passion & warming personality of a truly great performer.

Lonnie Lee
 |
LONNIE LEE is one of Australia's true hit parade music legends, & now he's out there doing it all again!
His gigs are unforgettable - they're unique, exciting & really get the heart pumping.
Legendary Blues band Chain, call him the Father of Australian Rockabilly. Russell Morris has stated that "Lonnie Lee is the real thing".
The many number one hits that Lonnie Lee sings at his gigs are his very own - & virtually every song that he presents are from the many best selling records or CD's that he's released over the past 45 years.
Lonnie's performances & voice are just as good as ever - his shows are "must not miss" events.

REV IT UP and get that Chevy or Classic Car or Motorcycle out of the shed for the fabulous "Show 'n' Shine" on Sunday October 29.
Some of Australia's finest classic cars & motorbikes gather along the main street of Tallangatta to talk engines, show & shine.
And for some enthusiasts, their classics worked like chick magnets reminding them of days in the 1950's.
