Force of nature 5-piece Doc Halibut are bringing their good music medicine to the Agnes Blues, Roots, & Rock Festival for the very first time in February 2026. They can’t wait to blow up the main Marquee Stage and pack the dance floor out front.
Doc Halibut’s line-up features Andy Ferguson (vocals, guitar), Jimmy Ferguson (keys, Hammond), Luke O’Connor (guitar), Owen Downie (bass) and Sam Leskovec (drums). In combination, they’re a force of nature like no other up on stage.
Doc Halibut’s rock n’ roll and pop style exhibits an authentic heart and irrepressible energy to carry any audience aloft and along for the ride. Through raucous sections of interpretation and improvisation to precise craftsmanship, the ever-present quip, jibe and plaintive observation of Andy Ferguson’s lyricism stand central to this 5 piece’s sound.
Doc Halibut’s live shows recreate and reinterpret their songbook with energy, passion and, more often than not, a large dose of larrikin humour.
Doc Halibut are a mainstay of the Melbourne rock n’ roll roots pub scene and regulars on the Australian music festival circuit of Woodford, Caloundra, Queenscliff, Echuca Blues, Bendigo Blues, Yackandandah and heaps of others. They can’t wait to add #AgnesBluesFest to their every-growing list of fired-up festival stages.
“Every gig is Wembley,” (all the time) is Doc Halibut’s attitude to their live performances. They’re more than ready to bring their A-game to #agnesbluesfest in 2026.
Get ready for your dose of good medicine when Doc Halibut rock the #AgnesBluesFest Marquee Stage for the first time on Saturday night, 21 February 2026. Make sure your dancing shoes will last the distance, it’s going to be one unforgettable ride once the Doc’s are in the house! https://www.dochalibut.com/
