The Vines
Iron and Wine
The Dirtbombs

A double headline Sydney side-show featuring Iron and Wine and Beirut would be somewhat awesome.

The festival will take place from March 8 to 10 (Labour Day long weekend) at the lovely Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre in Victoria. A whole load more acts are set to be announced closer to the date.

You can enter the ticket ballot NOW via the official festival site.
