The line-up

Five acts. Three days.

Hollow Bay, Mira Sol, The Paper Boats, Kestrel & Wren and DJ Lumen share the park over the weekend — that's the whole list, no asterisks. We don't have minute-by-minute slots to print yet, and we'd rather be honest about that than decorate with them. The programme page holds the line-up index and the three-day timetable; the exact order of sets lands closer to the date.

Open in maps

The park sits by the water at Port Elm, which is a lovely way to spend an evening. Ride a bike, come on foot, or take a car if your route allows us — we can't promise parking, so check your route before you set off and leave yourself time to find the gates. They open sharp at 14:00, and the last call is 23:00, all three days.
