- **Event Name**: THE PIGS in Canberra!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 05 Jun, 2026 at 10:00 am – Fri, 05 Jun, 2026 at 01:00 pm (+10:00)
- **Event Description**: In 2004, Australia discovered The Pigs. They, however, had known about themselves all along. T-Bone, Stretch, and their cousins Shamus &amp; Bert had something special—an ewe-nique brand of music… Hillbilly Pop! A wild mash-up of Bluegrass, Country, Rock &amp; Pop, all served with a bucket of fun. Some people think it’s comedy, but they’re just having a good time!

The Pigs have wowed audiences at festivals all over Australia and Europe, releasing five albums along the way. They’re known for transforming songs by Beyoncé, Powderfinger, Farnsy, INXS, Skyhooks, and even Carl Orff into bluegrass anthems—just as they were meant to be! But it’s their originals that fans remember most. Their hilariously quirky hit, Macho Moisturiser, has become an unlikely sing-along classic at Pigs concerts.

Still rocking their blue singlets, The Pigs are an unmissable hillbilly powerhouse!
