Over the years, the vibrant event (which is OTT in the best way possible) has built itself a stellar reputation, evidenced by the fact that tickets for 2018’s event sold out well before the line-up was announced. Today, Secret Garden has revealed who’ll be soundtracking the 48 hours of madness from February 23-24.
The crew have covered all sonic bases with Australian talents ranging from DZ Deathrays, to Ecca Vandal, to Miss Blanks, to Paces – ensuring that there’s a little something for everyone. Oh yeah, did we mention that there’s Bris 182, an 11-piece Blink 182 cover band? Huge, can we please hear ‘Dammit’ at least five times? Travis Barker for President.
On top of the live acts, some of our favourite selectors will be in attendance, including Jade Zoe, Yemisul, Ebony Boadu, Mowgli May and more. Of course, music’s just one aspect of the event which is set to overwhelm all the senses, with theatre, food and a stack of extra-curricular activities.
