Final tickets are now on sale for Yours and Owl’s new winter warmer festival The Last Frost, you snooze you lose guys so get hustling!
With set times at the ready for next Saturday, audiences will be pleased to note there are no clashes on this festival lineup; it’s one stage, doors at 4pm, and all killer, no filler in the pure fire line-up of artists from Australia and New Zealand. Stand, sway, dance, mosh, pirouette, flail your arms, just be ready to be to go all agog in the ‘gong!
As for the music line-up, Sydney producer Mookhi will be getting the fire started with her lush rhythmic tapestries, followed by the rising retro star Sloan Peterson just prior to her Bigsound performance, and the radiant dream pop of New Zealand indie darling Fazerdaze set against the blazing setting sun.
Warm your toes by the fire with Brisbane’s beloved Cub Sport as they give the ‘gong a special preview of their new tracks, and huddle up real close to the soulfully seductive Kite String Tangle still glowing in post-Splendour/new album glee. As the final sweeteners, toast your marshmallows to Sydney psych pop outfit Cloud Control as they slip in a few new tracks and classics for Wollongong audiences, and finish up with a scorching set by 2017’s most elusive band, lured out of hibernation, Violent Soho.
Keeping you well-fed and watered, Arepa, Balinese Spice Magic, Jimmy’s Burger Bar and Wandering Woodfire Oven will all be spicing up your life, with bottomless hot chocolates and chai’s from Coco’s Coffee.
