Expect huge sets from Baker Boy, Denzel Curry (US), Dope Lemon, Matt Corby, Ninajirachi and Tones and I, alongside good times courtesy of The Chats and The Terrys. Breakout act Maple's Pet Dinosaur joins the bill, as do Northern Rivers talents The Colliflowers. Plus, Kath Ebbs brings the wildly popular Cowboy Country queer line dancing phenomenon to the paddock – yeehaw!
