DZ Deathrays, King Gizzard & Heaps More Added To Secret Garden Festival

The line up looks truly superb.

The second bunch of bands lining up for the mysterious – and already sold out – Secret Garden Festival have been confirmed and, if you don't already have a ticket, we suggest you stop reading right now.

If you do happen to hold one, then you have every right to be punching the air right now (or implementing whatever your preferred method of celebration might happen to be) as there are some ridiculously good bands on this second announcement. Seriously. Bullshit good. Hold that ticket tight.

For instance, you've got Brisbane's Blank Realm who just released an extremely good new album in Grassed Inn and DZ Deathrays, who will release their own new album in the coming months as well.

But if you hate Queenslanders then there's still good music for you to enjoy, guilt free, with the likes of Sydney's Day Ravies and Ernest Ellis and Melbourne's King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and Roland Tings and a whole stack of other brilliantly diverse acts who will cover your musical taste pretty much regardless of who you are, though there's not much mainstream country in there…
