Stradbroke Island always comes alive when it's Island Vibe time each October and we get the feeling this will be even more likely come 2013.

The Aussie contingent is nothing to scoff at either, with a whole range of incredible bands and DJs already announced with a whole heap more still to be announced.

As it stands they have Sticky Fingers, Goosebumpz, Bass Bin Laden, Liam Niko, mIDium, Kingfisha, Dubmarine, Bobby Alu, Oka, Chocolate Strings, The Bennies, Clair Quinn, Die Rude, Bandwalla Moon, Bat Hazard, Darky Roots, Midium, Griff, Dakini, Liam Niko and Drew-Id on the bill.
