One of Melbourne's premier reggae bands, Irie, is set to capture locals with its vibrant soca, funk and afro-Cuban rhythms.

The members of the band, who hail from various parts of the world, have a positive and uplifting message.

One of the finest blues players in Australia, Geoff Achison, and his band, the Souldiggers, will headline Glenfest with a style of R&B music that delivers a rollicking set of blues, funk and soul.

Geoff's live performance is guaranteed to rock Glenlyon.
