You Am I, The Rubens, Ash Grunwald & The Beards Lead Festival Of The Sun

One of the most enticing Schoolies parties for those who like live music, as well as a quality rock festival in its own right for anyone over the age of 18, Festival Of The Sun is back in 2013 with all of the same qualities that make it so well loved.

An intimate 3,000 capacity, a BYO policy and a beautiful location on the beach at Port Macquarie, it's a pretty special event, so they've enlisted some pretty special bands to bring the party in 2013.

Aussie rock legends You Am I are in amazing for right now and will tear the house down as they headline the event, while young gun The Rubens will prove to everyone why they are one of the most hyped Aussie bands in years.

The Beards will make you laugh, Kingswood and Stonefield will get your head banging, Spit Syndicate will have your hands in the air and The Basics will show you a whole new side to Gotye.

The full line up is as follows:

You Am I, The Rubens, Ash Grunwald (Featuring Scott & Andy from The Living End), The Beards, Kingswood, Stonefield, Spit Syndicate, The Basics, Glass Towers, Tigertown, The Good Ship, Howlin Steam Train, Set Sail, Gang of Brothers, Whores 4 Pinot, Mar Haze, D at Sea, Kaurna Cronin, Mustered Courage, Kita, James Bennet, DJ Healey.
