The second announcement for Harvest Festival was made late this afternoon, adding seven new additions to the lineup and a second Melbourne show.

While there’s not much here for punk, metal and hardcore fans – which shouldn’t come as much of a surprise – if you don’t mind the alternative spectrum you might be pleased with these additions:

Silversun Pickups
Dexy’s Mightnight Runners
Crazy P
River City Extension
Los Campesinos
Dark Horses
Winter People

They join those already announced:

Beck
Sigur Ros
Grizzly Bear
Mike Patton's Mondo Cane
Ben Folds Five
Santigold
Cake
Beirut
The Dandy Warhols
The Black Angels
Chromatics
Ozomatli
Liars
Fuck Buttons
The War on Drugs
Dark, Dark, Dark

Interestingly, triple j are reporting that The Tallest Man On Earth are also part of the second lineup annoucement, despite the band being noticeably absent on the Harvest website.

** UPDATE ** triple j have since edited the above story and removed TTMOE. Maybe they'll be on a third annoucement?

With the first Melbourne show sold out, a second date for the city has also been added for Saturday, October 10. Tickets for the second Melbourne show will go on sale at 9 am this Wednesday 22nd August.

Harvest dates:
Saturday 10 November - Werribee Park, Melbourne *NEW DATE*
Sunday 11 November - Werribee Park, Melbourne *SOLD OUT*
Saturday 17 November - Parramatta Park, Sydney
Sunday 18 November - Riverstage, Brisbane
