Ska Nation 2022 has announced a stacked lineup headlined by The Aggrolites and Stranger Cole.
One of the originators of ska, Jamaica's Stranger Cole has been active in the genre since its fledgling days in 1962, and his presence on the lineup showcases the level of respect that artists have for the regional Victorian festival.
Stranger Cole will be joined by Los Angeles’ purveyors of the ‘dirty reggae’ sound The Aggrolites, who will also be heading up the festivities.
American third-wave ska band Mephiskapheles, Philly ska experts Catbite, Victorian seven-headed brash and boisterous ska punk monster The Resignators, and Australia's tallest Ska band The Donald Trumpets also feature on the stacked lineup which will bring some of the best ska-centric acts to the small regional town of Warrion, just outside of Colac in Victoria.
Taking place on Saturday, November 26 and Sunday, November 27, Ska Nation 2022 will be nestled between dormant volcanoes and golden plains farms on an acre of the countryside behind the 150-year-old Ti Tree Hotel.
Organisers have stated that there will be free camping at Meredith Park campgrounds for festival-goers, with regular shuttles as well as camping closer to the venue (subject to council approval). There is also a variety of B&Bs and hotels in Colac and the surrounding district fo for those looking for more comfortable accommodations. Ska Nation 2022 will also be complemented by markets and food trucks.
