World Butcher Wars: This year, Meatstock Sydney will host the World Butcher Wars Challenge. The best Australia has to offer up against the rest of the world! Razor-sharp skills will be on display in a fast-paced, meat-filled, butchery showdown.

PBR Bull Riding: Get ready for the toughest 8 seconds in sport! The high-adrenaline, nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat action of the Professional Bull Riders adds a dynamic element to the festival.
