Final line-up for Essential Festival unveiled

Even with the awesome two international acts (Shocking Pinks and Ratatat) the first line-up announcement for the Essential Festival didn't really get us all that giggly and excited.

The second (and final) list of artists has us moderately more 'whoooooo' over the whole thing.

Talons
Straight Arrows
Richard In Your Mind
Cuthbert & The Nightwalkers
Regular John
WOW
Bird Automatic
Cloud Control
The Holidays
Cassette Kids
Pip Branson Corporation
Centipede
Erin Marshall
The Khan Brothers
Gin Winmore

Fuck it, even with all that awesome, the thought of the Gaelic sound will more than likely drive us to the My Disco show instead.

It should also be noted that these are the bands that will be at the Sydney leg of the festival. Although the core bands are the same, Melbourne has a slightly different 'second string' team. Check the festival website for that info.

Tickets are on sale NOW via Moshtix and will set you back around $55.
