With eight bands named for the free event, the double-headline billing will feature Gurrumul and Ash Grunwald, while Darwin duo Sietta and Dubmarine are on the next rung.
Local Sydney acts come in the form of Tin Sparrow, Battleships and The Preatures, with gypsy collective The Margaret St Project rolling their Lolo Lovina Caravan into proceedings.
