Newcastle’s premier festival THIS THAT has announced its 2016 lineup, supplementing previously announced headliner ScHoolBoy Q with a slew of local dance and hip-hop heavyweights.

Festival favourites including Peking Duk, Hermitude and L D R U have also been billed for the event, while emerging talents like Moonbase Commander, Made In Paris and Running Touch also represent all things electronic. Sydney club favourites Shantan Wantan Ichiban and Luen will be making a short drive up north for THIS THAT, and the festival will also serve as a landmark appearance for the upcoming Triple J Unearthed winner.

See the lineup and announcement video below, while tickets go on sale from Thursday August 11 from 9:00am. Get yours right here and prepare to bask in some Newcastle greatness:
