Sydney-based hip hop MC Urthboy has also jumped on the bill. Having delivered a killer set at this year’s Splendour in the Grass, as well as wrapping up his biggest tour to date, this will be a set you don’t want to miss.
Riding high off the back of a sold-out Australian run to support their latest release ‘This Is Our Vice’, as well as their widely celebrated Triple J’s Like A Version, Cub Sport will also be playing the festival. Other acts include Pocketlove, Brad Butcher, The Honey Sliders, The Walters, The Mad Mariachi and more.
