The bush band line-up on Saturday night won’t disappoint with Lonely Boys, Mambali Band and Manuel Dhurrkay from Saltwater Band all taking to the stage.
On Sunday night on the Skinnyfish stage the Festival will feature legends Paul Kelly, Gurrumul, Sammy Butcher and Neil Murray. It’s an event not to be missed."
