Headlining this year’s mighty main stage line-up are world touring Drum and Bass act The Bird, the highly acclaimed electronic artist OPIUO, lyrical philosopher and storyteller Archie Roach and the manically energetic 8 piece leviathan Dubmarine - fronted by the north’s own MC D Kazman.
Joining them on the main stage are Australia’s number one indigenous reggae and hip hop outfit Zennith and the cream of down under reggae and hip hop talent featuring the likes of Darky Roots, Rudekat SoundSystem, The Upsteppers, ImanDan and Schoolfight. Rounding out the bill are the delicate harp grooves of the Flumes, the rambunctious folk of the Rusty Datsuns and many more.
CAMPING: Season and overnight camping is available in the adjacent field to the lush grounds of the Kuranda Amphitheatre on Barron Falls Rd. Toilets and showers will be provided.

As well as 2 stages of music, there are food and craft markets, a licensed bar and a chai chill out zone.
