Bloc Party’s Kele & Hermitude Headline New Thredbo Festival

Details of the first ever Efterski Festival have been announced this afternoon, with an incredibly solid line up ushering in the beginning of festival season with serious class.

Top of the bill is none other than Kele from the much loved British indie rock powerhouse that is Bloc Party. Kele Okereke must really like it down here as this will be his third trip in 14 months or so and goodness knows how many times he has been down here prior to that – it's plenty! He'll be putting on a special DJ set for the first ever Efterski and we reckon he'll be able to command a dancefloor pretty well.

Joining him is the sensational Aussie instrumental hip hop group Hermitude, fast-rising DJ Alison Wonderland, Gold Coast brat punks Bleeding Knees Club, electro dudes RÜFÜS and a whole stack of incredible acts and DJs – it looks like it's going to be one hell of a party.

Full line up is as follows:

Kele (Bloc Party) DJ Set, Hermitude, RÜFÜS (live), Alison Wonderland DJ Set, World's End Press, Bleeding Knees Club, Canyons (Pink Gin), Tom Piper, Sosueme DJs, DZ Deathrays DJs, Pluto Jonze, Kid Mac, Slowblow, Softwar, Club Mod DJs, Wordlife, Fishing, Leah Mencel, Danny Clayton [V], Frames, Hobophonics, DJ Hansom, F.R.I.E.N.D/s DJs, I Oh You! DJs, Shantan Wantan Ichiban, Bambii, Starjumps, Tokyo Denmark Sweden DJs, John Logue and Jack Man Friday

There's also plenty of kick arse winter sports going on over the weekend, but we'll let you discover that for yourselves.

It happens at Thredbo from Thursday 12 September through to Saturday 14, but you can get all the further info you need from their website.
