Check out who is performing in town at weekend

-

LISTEN up Toowoomba - the country’s hottest music talent is in town for the Carnival of Flowers.

Well-known Australian artists will perform as part of the Heritage Bank Live Concert Series at the Ergon Energy Food and Wine Festival.

This year’s musical line-up is testament to the appeal and reach of the festival, which merges local talent and produce with leading national names.

The food and wine festival combines gardens, music and food, shines the light on the paddock to plate movement and involves the community by celebratin­g Toowoomba in an internatio­nal way.

Last night Alex Lahey, The Paper Kites and The Temper Trap performed for thousands of people who made their way to Queens Park.

But there are still seven acts for residents and visitors to catch today and tomorrow.
