LOOKOUT comes to Roche Estate in Pokolbin on Saturday 20 March 2027, with gates at 2pm and the last act, +LIVE+, on stage from 8:15pm to 9:30pm. On-site parking is limited, so the organiser points drivers to Rover Coaches buses, which run from $30 return from Hunter Valley resorts and $40 to $60 from Maitland, Newcastle and the Central Coast.
This guide uses the organiser’s Roche Estate show page and the Rover Coaches event page, both read on Sunday 8 November 2026. Times are New South Wales local time (AEDT in March).
What time does LOOKOUT start and finish at Roche Estate?
The organiser lists early entry at 1:30pm and gates at 2pm, with five acts through the afternoon and evening. It says the line-up and playing times are subject to change. Rover Coaches lists the same times.
| Time | What |
|---|---|
| 1:30pm | Early entry |
| 2:00pm | Gates open |
| 2:40pm to 3:20pm | Magic Dirt |
| 3:50pm to 4:30pm | TBA |
| 5:00pm to 6:00pm | 4 Non Blondes |
| 6:30pm to 7:45pm | Stone Temple Pilots |
| 8:15pm to 9:30pm | +LIVE+ |
The organiser says early entry applies to premium general admission ticket holders, who get early entry before other ticket holders. There is no pass-out, so plan for the full day.
How much are LOOKOUT tickets?
The organiser’s show page lists three ticket types, with the prices below as of 8 November 2026, all plus booking fees. It says tickets are on sale now with limited availability.
| Ticket | Price | What the page says is included |
|---|---|---|
| General admission | $165 plus fees | Entry to the show |
| Premium general admission | $220 plus fees | Early entry before other ticket holders, a dedicated entry lane and a dedicated bar lane |
| Lookout Garden Bar Premium Experience | $420 plus fees | One premium general admission ticket, a dedicated entry lane, access to the Lookout Bar area with a premium cash bar, seating and shade, a Lookout cocktail on arrival, a stubby holder, a sun hat, dedicated toilets and 10% off Lookout merchandise |
The page notes that the Lookout Bar may be situated away from the main stage area. The ticket buttons on the organiser’s site link to Ticketmaster. Rover Coaches’ page says “Ticketek Australia” for event tickets, which does not match, so start from the organiser’s site and treat it as the source. Rover sells transport tickets only.
Can I park at Roche Estate?
Yes, but not much. The organiser says “limited parking” is available on site off the Broke Road entry, a short distance from the main gates, and that traffic will be at a premium, with delays entering and leaving. It tells patrons to prepare for that. The page does not give a parking price or say when the car park opens. Unreserved accessible parking is also off the Broke Road entry, and the organiser asks drivers to follow the signs and traffic staff.
The venue is on the corner of Broke and McDonalds Roads, Pokolbin.
What do the Rover Coaches buses cost?
Rover Coaches is the event’s transport partner, and its page lists return fares by pick-up area. All buses depart 30 minutes after the end of the concert, which on the published times is about 10pm. The page says tickets and transport are non-refundable, and that any change to a booking incurs a $12 administration fee.
| Pick-up area | Return fare | First pick-up (from the page) |
|---|---|---|
| Hunter Valley resorts and motels (Cypress Lakes, Harrigans, Rydges, Spicers, The Vintage Club House) | $30 | Every half hour from 1:30pm to 5:30pm (Spicers: 1:35pm to 5:35pm) |
| Ingenia Holidays BIG 4, Valley Brewhouse, Wine Country Motor Inn | $35 | Half-hourly or hourly from 1:30pm |
| Cessnock, Millfield, Paxton, Ellalong, Bellbird (Route 2A) | $35 | 12:45pm to 1:25pm |
| Maitland and Rutherford (Maitland A) | $40 | 12:50pm to 1:10pm |
| Singleton and Singleton Heights (Singleton A) | $40 | 12:30pm to 1:00pm |
| Kurri Kurri, Abermain and Neath (Kurri Kurri A) | $40 | 12:55pm to 1:15pm |
| Green Hills, Beresfield, Thornton and East Maitland | $45 | 12:30pm to 12:55pm |
| Newcastle City, Charlestown, Newcastle Heights and West, East Lakes | $50 | 11:35am to 12:30pm |
| The Central Coast (Woy Woy, Gosford, Wyong) | $60 | 11:30am to 12:20pm |
Rover also lists later pick-up routes for Maitland B, Singleton B, Kurri Kurri B and Cessnock Route 2B, and its Tuggerah Lakes route says no seats are available. Fares listed on the page are for return trips, and the pick-up times above are the earliest and latest stops on each route. Check the stop you want on the Rover page before you book, because pick-up points are specific, such as the Watt Street stop outside Customs House in Newcastle.
What can I bring into LOOKOUT?
The organiser’s page allows a camp chair, sealed still bottled water, a rain poncho and a non-professional camera. Rover’s page also lists snacks as permitted. The organiser says it is an open-air site and picnic rugs are not permitted.
| Allowed | Not allowed |
|---|---|
| Camp chair | Picnic rugs |
| Sealed still bottled water (not carbonated) | Alcohol, soft drink and non-alcoholic drinks (apart from still sealed water) |
| Rain poncho | Umbrellas |
| Non-professional camera (no professional lenses or video cameras) | Glass, metal cutlery and cheese knives |
| Snacks (listed on the Rover page) | Shade structures, tents and canopies, trolleys, bicycles, scooters and pets |
All bags, chairs and belongings are inspected at entry. The organiser says anyone found with alcohol will be refused entry without refund. The show is strictly 18+, and the weather policy says it goes ahead rain, hail or shine, and will only be cancelled if the site is judged unsafe. Offensive clothing and MC club attire are also on the prohibited list.
What food and drink will there be?
The organiser says there will be a large range of food and drink outlets open all day, and a public bar serving beer, wine, cider, spirits and non-alcoholic drinks. All vendors accept cash or card. A merchandise truck will be next to the main bar. First aid is on site all day, and the box office is at the entry point from 60 minutes before gates open until the headline act starts.
Is Roche Estate accessible?
The organiser says an accessible viewing area is on the concourse at the rear of the site, with accessible bathrooms close by. It is reserved for accessible patrons and their immediate accredited carer. The page warns the venue is outdoor with uneven surfaces and open to the weather. To buy accessible tickets or use a Companion Card, the page links to Ticketmaster’s help article.
Who is playing?
The organiser names +LIVE+, Stone Temple Pilots and 4 Non Blondes as co-headliners, with Magic Dirt in the opening slot. Its tour page describes the day as iconic songs and rock nostalgia. The same tour plays Wollongong on Wednesday 17 March, Sydney on Thursday 18 March and Broadbeach on Sunday 21 March.
What else has been on at Roche Estate?
Roche Estate also hosted the Red Hot Summer Tour on 31 October 2026. Our guide to that day covers the same venue, and the Boyz II Men concert at Bimbadgen on Saturday 5 December has its own getting-there guide. Details for LOOKOUT can differ from those, so use the organiser’s page above for March.
