A fine complement of locally sourced musical produce awaits punters in both Melbourne and Sydney
The quickly expanding Blurst Of Times Festival has unveiled the line-up of acts that will lead its inaugural venture into New South Wales and Victoria this year, with the power pair of DZ Deathrays and the legendary Hard-Ons leading the charge into both cities.
The event, the brainchild of Brissy collective The Fans Group, will make its southern debuts at Melbourne's Seaworks Williamstown on Sunday, October 19, and Sydney's Factory Theatre the following weekend, on Saturday, October 25, with both new iterations featuring a similar, though slightly modified, line-up to the progenitor festival in Brisbane. The headline acts remain a constant across all three events, with a diverse range of local luminaries rounding out the ranks as the show rolls towards the bottom of the country.
Joining DZ and Hard-Ons in Melbourne (tickets available here) will be Jeremy Neale, Harmony, Beaches, Drunk Mums, The UV Race, Blank Realm, TV Colours, Major Leagues, Spod, Donny Benet, Super Best Friends, Scotdrakula, Babaganouj, Rolls Bayce, Miss Destiny, Sunbeam Sound Machine, Chores and The Good Sports.
