Foals, PNAU & SBTRKT To Headline New Hobart Music Festival HAYDAYS

Get ready for a non-camping “two-day, two-night extravaganza of music, culture, and unity”.

More Foals Foals

Hobart is receiving the enormous new two-day music festival, HAYDAYS, which will be headlined by UK dance-punks and Aussie favourites Foals, Cold Heart remixers PNAU and English DJ SBTRKT this December.

Brought to you by Vibestown Productions (the team behind Party In The Paddock festival), the inaugural HAYDAYS is a strong Australian-heavy showcase of electronic music, with a bunch of international acts filling up the line-up alongside the locals.

As well as the headliners, the new music festival has locked in The Jungle Giants, Genesis Owusu, Cub Sport, Confidence Man, and Germany’s Erika de Casier alongside breakthrough acts MAY-A, Ziggy Ramo, Medhanit, Miss Kaninna, Jade Zoe, and Dameeela. Rap, dance music, dance-punk, alternative, and even more genres are represented.

HAYDAYS ends with some true local representation, with Tasmania’s own Cyber Switch, EMA, Juice Monsoon, エミエミ (emi emi), Baltimöre Charlót and Baz + Grom closing the line-up.
