Mt Egerton music festival fears prove off tune

A three-day music festival attracted about 350 funk, electronica, folk and rock music lovers to Mount Egerton at the weekend.

Hosted by non-profit organisation Inca Roads, the festival featured 35 artists including Gold Fields, Northeast Party House, Willow Beats and jazz-funk band Animaux.

Eight neighbours of the Yendon-Egerton Road property where the festival was held also attended.

The Weekly reported in October that several residents had expressed fears about the impact the festival would have on the area, citing noise and inappropriate behaviour as their main concerns.

A permit was granted after councillors said they were satisfied with a revised fire-safety plan.

Police said they were pleased with crowd behaviour.
